And if it had been a British Airways flight and the woman a British national; no one on this forum would give a damn.

That's because the scenario would never occur.

There aren't millions of dead beat brits in our country who are costing us billions in social services and ruining school districts nationwide.

Yup - no difference at all between massive migration from the third world and light immigration from our 1st-world "mother country". Pretty much the same impact on our society.

Actually, we wouldn't have this discussion because the parents would probably just assume UK citizenship. We don't have millions of UK illegal aliens streaming across our Atlantic border.

I think you are crying racism when it is unwarranted. I could care less if illegals are Mexican, Swedish, African, Russian, Latvian. Just do it the right way. Why, why, why is that too much to ask.

Sooooo...are you implying that it is only bigotry that motivates the concern that those on this forum have about illegal immigration in general and this lady in particular?

If you are going to accuse your fellow freepers of being bigots, state it plainly, not with cute insinuations.

True, but we don't have a pandemic of Brits coming across our borders illegally. Most likely, the British mom would not seek citizenship for her child. You can't compare apples and oranges as it were.

You are correct. Bringing that even closer to home, if it was a Canadian carrier and a Canadian national, no one on this forum would give a damn. Unless the mother last name happened to be Middle Eastern.
