"Do you want to have your baby in the United States?"

That query flashes on two digital billboards south of the border as northbound shoppers and tourists wait in line to enter Arizona.

Dr. José Durán, a gynecologist and obstetrician with 25 years of experience, said he's always had women coming from Mexico to have their babies but decided to announce his services on one of the screens because colleagues were doing it.

"People don't come for the citizenship," Durán said. "They come for the services and the technology that in some other places they don't have."

"It's a tradition," Durán said.

Well, this "tradition" should preclude U.S. citizenship.

This is a sham, and the doctors that knowingly encourage this and profit from it ought to be fined if not jailed. Unless the women that are coming for ob care would agree to refuse US citizenship on their babys behalf.
