There's no doubt in most here that she's carrying a 'viable human being', but I think that the law is clear that the child must be born here.
If she's allowed back into the US for her hearing, thanks to this judge, all her lawyers have to do is delay the hearing until the kid is born on US territory, and 'viola!', instant American -- followed shortly by the rest of the extended family from back home.
The implication that an non-resident alien's unborn child is an American citizen is horrifying to me. Merely flying through US airspace as an unborn fetus is enough to qualify for US citizenship now?
It's been said on Rush's show that there would be an abrupt turnaround in liberal's view of abortion once gene science is able to assist parents in detecting whether their child would be born gay or not --- Now I have to wonder if there would be an abrupt turnaround in social conservative's sentiments towards defining the unborn as a human-being when the US government declares the unborn fetus of an illegal alien an American citizen.
Probably not. They'll more likely have a turnaround in their sentiments towards defining a citizen as nearly anyone born here.
