Can the U.S. government take a woman's baby from her because she doesn't speak English? That's the latest question to arise in the hothouse debate over illegal immigration, as an undocumented woman from impoverished rural Mexico — who speaks only an obscure indigenous language — fights in a Mississippi court to regain custody of her infant daughter.

This indigenous mother could lose custody of her baby girl because she is indigenous.

Does the fact that she does not speak English poses a danger for her daughter?
