I'm a USC and I don't believe myself to be a racist or a bigot.
However, her case is not the norm as she had a warrant out for her
arrest and deportation long before she re-entered the US illegally a
second time, married and continued to stay to adjust status. Why should
the fact that she has a child who is a USC be a deciding factor as to
whether she goes or stays? The child cannot be deported but there is no
reason why she can't go and live with her mother in her mother's home
country. There is no reason why the mother's husband can't do the same
thing. In fact with the SS disability he is probably collecting they
can live much better there than here in the US.
