How do you feel about the 'born here, automatically a citizen' rule? Pregnant women, crossing the border shortly before birth so that their child is a citizen, and therefore she gets to stay, and probably has her child at the emergency room at taxpayers cost? | I know it has been law in the past, but this is another thing that could stand being changed. I could live with one of the newborns parents ( in your instance the father) being an American citizen thereby the child being of dual citizenship. As I understand it; that is the law now. But in your scenario if the mother or father both were not a citizen; then no, I would say this would be such a case for deportation back to Mexico. As far as the costs incurred; while I never have or will advocate the refusal of medical services to anyone, I say the Mexican government must bear the costs. |
