Francisca Lino, 41, was scheduled to leave the country this week after she entered illegally in 1999 and was arrested in 2005 during a hearing for her application for legal permanent residency.
A petition to delay the deportation for another year that was delivered Monday by U.S. Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) and Lino's attorney temporarily halted the removal. Authorities are considering the petition's argument that Lino's family, all of whom are either U.S. citizens or in the country legally, would be put under financial and emotional duress if she left.
"We will review it and make a determination within the next few weeks," said Gail Montenegro, spokeswoman for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
Lino, who works in a chocolate factory in far west suburban Geneva, is the main provider for her family, said her attorney Chris Bergin. Her husband Diego Lino, 34, is recovering from a stroke.
"Allow Mrs. Lino an additional year at least to get her house in order," said Gutierrez, before hand-delivering the petition. "They all rely on her to take care of them."
Standing outside the ICE office with her family and other supporters, Lino said she had believed she was on the road to resolving her status in 2005. After being turned away at the southern border in 1999, she entered illegally a few months later, eventually landing in Chicago, where she met her husband. She applied for legal status in 2000 and was arrested five years later during a hearing for that application.
"I went in there very content and optimistic," Lino said about the 2005 hearing. "They had already given me permission to work and a Social Security number."
If our government (on every single level) would follow the letter of the law from sea to shining sea, these people would not continue thinking marriage and having a truck load of babies excuses their crime of illegal entry and guarantees them a free pass to remain in this country.

I could not agree more, JDubs!
Bottom line . . . we send the wrong message to all Illegals when we "reward" any Illegal. No matter their reasons, no matter their history and not matter their family ties . . . ALL ILLEGALS NEED TO BE DEPORTED and absolutely no incentives or rewards for their common criminal status, no exceptions.

Luis Guiterrez needs to be deported with them. Unfortunately, he's an anchor baby (aka citizen by default)

Absolutely! Illegals know all of the tricks of the trade. She most likely thought her brood would ensure a path to citizenship. After all, it would be inhumane to deport a mother of six. The article stated that all of her SIX children are U.S. citizens. Therefore, she gave birth to 6 children in 8 years. C’mon, let’s get real. Deport this woman, and she can take her anchors with her.
I know. I only have one, and sometimes he's more than I can handle. Teenagers can test the patience of Job. I would probably be in a padded cell if I had six.
Looking at the math...6 children in 8 yrs...9 months of pregnency...time to recover from birth to return to work...Where was all the INCOME money coming from? Someone had to be paying the hospital bills...question is WHO?.

My thoughts exactly, the legal residents of this state should be having a fit.
