PEMBROKE PARK, Fla. - The Florida Department of Health confirms the first Zika-related microcephaly birth in Florida.
The birth mother is a Haitian national who came to Florida to give birth. She was infected with Zika in Haiti.
Gov. Rick Scott and Florida Surgeon General Celeste Philip are participating in a Zika roundtable discussion in Palm Beach County Tuesday morning to discuss the issue.
There have previously been two other Zika-related microcephaly births in the United States, one in Hawaii and one in New Jersey, according to a DOH representative.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Zika virus typically causes a mild rash, fever and joint pain. Only one in five people infected with the virus are symptomatic, but the virus can cause serious problems for pregnant women.

who came to Florida to give birth......
Here’s looking at you, US taxpayer (chump)... for life...
Every one of these parasitic, disease-ridden dullards must be excreted from our shores if we are to survive as a Nation.
Anchor babies too.
And mother and baby will be getting welfare, food stamps, and free health care for life, all the Democrats ask in return is for their vote which they will get
Lifetime will cost millions of US taxpayers money. Good job, American immigration system/s
While I feel incredibly sorry for this baby and the family, I am aghast at the idea that this baby is now a US citizen, and thus entitled to the full panopoly of benefits. There was NO connection between this family and the US, yet the US taxpayer is going to foot the entire bill for this baby - not just in the maternity ward, but for life with all of the special care that this kid will need. Again, I feel very badly for these people, my heart goes out to them, but we have limited resources and plenty of people here who need our help - people who are legitimate members of our society, people who are taxpayers...as were their parents, grandparents, etc.
ENOUGH!
Truly an anchor baby. She will be weighing down the taxpayers for years.
We know that some folks come to the U>S. specifically to give birth to their baby in order to gain some birth rights as citizens (and for the family as relatives of a citizen).
Congress has the power to change this by law.
These women hit the jackpot. A lifetime of tax dollars to ensure every comfort for her and her baby are met.
Just DAMN!
the FIRST one was some time ago in NJ (or NY?)... so what’s the truth?
First one for Florida - many more to come as the news of examples like this get out. Zika illegal immigrant surge.
