At the Dallas county hospital where a lot of charity cases go, half the babies are listed as having illegal alien mothers. Note, this is a couple hundred miles from the Mexican border.
A good friend of mine was pissed when her teenaged daughter had an illegitimate baby, received none of the freebies for the poor and the Mom got the bill. What outraged her was the fact that if you filled out the form as “illegal alien”, they assumed:
* you’re poor, so no billing of family
* you’re so poor, you need extra diaper bags full of formula and diapers above what all mothers get, free cribs, free clothes, etc.
* the kid still gets Medicaid enrollment info, American birth certificate, etc
I suspect that the data on illegal alien parents having kids is inflated, because many hispanics claim it to avoid having to pay for services and get free stuff.
After all, Mexicans in Mexico now average 2 kids while the immigrants here are around 3.X. It is higher in the immigrants, but the fertility essentially two and a half times everyone else.
I guess people won't figure it out until they themselves are desperate, then they will wonder how they could have been so foolish.
My thought is that the number of “anchor babies” may be inflated by people claiming to be illegal immigrant mothers who aren’t really such to get out of having to pay the bill AND get extra free stuff.
We should not be doing this.
