Back on November 26, Maryury Hernandez, a God-fearing pregnant migrant from Honduras, entered the country with her husband and three-year-old son in search of "better lives" for her children and "to keep them safe" (so she makes the hazardous trek north?), says journalist Ruben Navarrette, who is "extremely grateful for his citizenship." The problem is, she entered illegally, which makes her eligible for deportation. "I feel like a criminal," said Maryury. She is a criminal.
A pregnant foreigner may go to the U.S. to give birth. She doesn't violate any U.S. laws if she has a visa. Still, U.S. Customs, strict on pregnant foreigners entering the country, may refuse her entry. Maryury didn't bother to apply for a visa. She caravanned north, and her handlers quickly put her in the hands of immigration agents who caringly whisked her off to an excellent environment for giving birth. She gave birth on November 27 – a bouncing baby boy. Just another drop in the anchor-baby bucket?
While hosting a show on "a conservative radio station" in San Diego, citizen-journalist Navarrette listened to callers repeat "the old trope advanced by cable news hosts that babies born on U.S. soil somehow 'anchor' their parents to the United States."
People should know that babies born on U.S. soil to foreign parents don't anchor their parents to the United States. Apparently, Maryury's baby has become a U.S. citizen by jus soli, yet Maryury is eligible for deportation. So it's back to Honduras for mother and child, or it's back to Honduras for mother sans child, who goes into foster care, whether mother likes it or not, though she probably likes it – at least her child has a better life.
Maryury has no right to live in this country.

If they are being compelled by others, that is one thing.
If they are there of their own free will, that is something
else entirely.
Sympathy for something largely outside of one’s control is different from re-enforcing the obvious downside consequences of a deliberate choice by removing those consequences.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
Not too much past the concern of sending them back.
“Oh, and here’s your baby. Adios.”
Any is too much! What part of “Illegal” don’t folks understand?
Any is too much, the only thing they are trying to do is game the system and have an anchor baby so they can cash in on the American taxpayer. None of these people should get one stinking penny from our government.
She is a criminal andthe should be punished for child endangerment.
My violin is tired...
I gave my violin away. I didn’t need it anymore.
These illegals are Parasites and as such should be immediately sent back across the border.They are Not really seeking asylum.
Let them have their rugrat in their home country.
This is not any more complicated than people responding to the incentive of free stuff. Kill the incentives, kill the flow.
Where is the sympathy for the 90 Americans that die every day from Mexican fentanyl?
I’ve lived abroad, including in many very poor countries. Even in the poorest countries, the vast majority of people obey the law, live peacefully, and try to make the best of their lives in their homes.
In the absence of a full-scale war (which Central America does NOT have) no normal person ever treks 3000 miles to cross a border illegally, and then live as an illegal foreigner in another country.
Its not a normal choice, and these are not normal people in any way.
Some number greater than zero and less than zero
If we di allow them in they should first have to prove they had their tubes tied.
Who is “educating” these people to make them believe they will be given free everything here?
I have sympathy for the endangered babies, period. But they are the mothers’ responsibility, and to the mothers they are just tools.
It is about pumping up the 2020 census numbers and election rolls. It is not hard to see. If it goes their way, the Republican Party and the “Red State” will essentially go extinct.
I can’t have sympathy for the pregnant woman. She is purposely endangering the life of her unborn by engaging in an illegal act that has been known to be either cause for incarceration or life threatening.
I do have sympathy for the unborn, but certainly not for the mother, unless somehow or another she is forced across the border and has made no efforts to protect her unborn by escaping or refusing to cross.
Co-conspirators are the boo-hoo whaa-whaa leftists telling them it’s OK and they will get citizenship, freebies and protection. The victims are the taxpayer citizen Americans that this crap is being forced upon.
Last nights local news had SOB stories on both the Illegals and Shutdown.
Went to watch the new Rosswell series and d. if it didn’t have a Border Wall, illegals as in outer space ones, and Gay men in it kissing.
Any is too much. Keep out! Get out!
I am going to go with ‘what is any?’, Alex.
