An undocumented woman loses her baby after failing to communicate with hospital staff, among other reasons.

Wow.. I can't believe they would do that.

I heard of some lady in my town that was deported back to Brazil (I think)because her boss turned her in, and so they took her baby away from her. So now her baby is god knows where in the US and she's stuck in her country.

It's so horrible that they let stuff like this happen, mean while, there's murders running around free on parole and stuff.. what the fuck?

I feel so bad for this woman and her baby.

If people come to this country to live here, they should learn english. To some people watching their stupid novelas is more important.
I don't expect people to speak to me in english when I'm in mexico.

True.

But do you think she deserves to have her baby taken away for it?

I completely agree with you that people in this country should learn to speak English. I give my parents shit about this all the time. However, a woman's inability to speak English is not grounds for her to lose her baby. Such train of thought is ridiculous at best. Whoever made that decision must have shit for brains.

This is so damn retarded that they would take this woman child away because she does not communicate in English.
