Now I'll be honest -- I have some problems with the treatment this woman received. Some of what was done probably should not have been.
However, this quote shows a certain arrogance on her part that infects a great many border-jumping immigration criminals.
“I felt like they were treating me like a criminal person,” Mrs. Villegas said, speaking in Spanish in a telephone interview. The phone in her room was turned off, and she was not permitted to speak with her husband when he came to retrieve their newborn son from the hospital on July 7 as she returned to jail, she said.
Let's see -- she was driving in a manner just one step below what would get her charged for reckless driving. She had no driver's license (and presumably no insurance). She was in the country illegally, and had reentered the US after having been deported once before for illegally living and working in this country.
Imagine that -- she was treated like she was a lawbreaker!
Round 'em up. Ship 'em back! Build a wall!
