and thats legally AND illegally. the investigators claims in this article are purely speculative and dont even give a hard number.

do you even read this stuff before you link it?
Guess what:

A friend of mine who used to be a paramedic/firefighter used to get calls from SOB pregnant women in a town along the USA/Mx border (US side) who would cross to drop their babies.

Talk about no pride towards one's own country.

I'm sure this is all spelled out for them in that little comic book about coming illegally to the U.S. They are told that they'll have an American citizen if they do this, and will get benefits through the child. It's disgusting - using their children that way.

Interesting concept SmerkyGrl. In a strange way...I kinda like it!

Sorry, I was short on time and that's what I found in the time I had to look. And as per your quote, the study you highlighted was done in the 1980's, think things might have changed a little since then? Do you honestly believe that illegal immigrant mothers don't come here soley to give birth WHILE 9 MONTHS PREGNANT?
youre a little off the question here. let me repeat the dialogue so you can properly answer it.

you: The difference is they are sneaking across the border while 9 months pregnant...

me: how many are doing that?

Are you expecting him to take a clipboard to the border and go count for you? What is your point? Are you denying that it happens?

Too often. I can't find anything with exact numbers for you. Maybe you can find numbers for me to prove it doesn't happen that often.

In an interview broadcasted on Cable News about a year ago, Elvira Arellano actually stated that she chose to have her son Saul in order to "fix" her problems related to her illegal status.

That's sick. Wonder how he feels, knowing he was born to solve a problem she herself created?
