Prosecuted and the baby placed in foster care???
You criticize me for cheap shots. But man, you would obliterate this woman and her child because you think she was "reckless".
This woman, Mexican or whatever, is not the first and won't be the last to have a baby on an airplane.
But nobody pauses to think, "how wonderful", the baby is fine. They move right along to their usual accusations and suspicions. Because she was a Mexican, because she had a baby on our soil {arguably}. An automatic assumption that trumps any other thought. Without reflection.
And in your case, without any mercy. Put the baby in foster care/prosecute her. YOu are a piece of work.
Before you get too mad, let me ask this:
Since the mother was apparently attempting to give birth to her daughter in America, and Freeper outdriving mentioned that the baby should be in foster care, the difference between your positions is that 1) outdriving thinks the baby should stay (apparently that she's American), but not with the mother and 2) cajungirl thinks they both should stay, or at least that the baby is American whether the mother stays or not.
It appears that the only difference in your opinions is whether the baby or both should stay. If you say the mother shouldn't stay, because she was reckless obviously trying to "anchor" herself in America, then why should the baby stay? Shouldn't she be with a foster home in Mexico?
If you say the baby is a U.S. citizen by coincidence and the mother wasn't attempting to anchor herself to the U.S., what do you say if she goes home? Did the baby "luck out" and receive U.S. citizenship as well as Mexican citizenship? Does the mother get to jump ahead of all other legal immigrants waiting in line overseas because of the timing of her delivery?
Just askin'.
Why should I. This is a transparent attempt to get an anchor baby. It is not wonderful when people jam their way into my house uninvited.
Ahhhh, the "how wonderful" syndrome----they count on it---everyone from CAIR when they see some gullible Americans guiltily weigh in on the terribly insensitive treatment the six Imams got when they were booted off the US Air plane, and offering "to help", to the emergency corrective surgeries we always find a way of doing on Third Worlders, to all the little South of the Border boys and girls who serve as the passport and calling card for illegals (we're doing it "for the children" once again, because their own countries are mired in unspeakable corruption and there is no room or resources or opportunity for them.) The whole point about this "how wonderful" is , that even if it were restricted to just Mexico, THERE IS VIRTUALLY NO END TO IT. 20,30,40 percent of Mexico's population will be here eventually, having been successfully gotten rid of by their own government, countless Muslims will also be continuing to establish sociopolitical beachheads here,(AND out-reproducing us) as they have done in Europe primarily, AND one way or another, we will be PAYING for our OWN marginalization (while noddingly agreeing with all those who claim we are marginalizing THEM, paying for our own suicides, and we will be in a permanent state of CHAOS, unmanageable CHAOS---and unfortunately that is what our politicians, and apparently cajungirl WANTS. There is NOTHING that gets my blood boiling faster than the sheer SLOPPINESS of all this, and the fact that there is NO MEANINGFUL DISCUSSION ABOUT ANY OF IT---it is just all shoved down our throats, demagogue-style.
