CHICAGO (Dec. 8) - When you're born on an airplane in mid-flight, where do you say you were born?

A seven-pound, eight-ounce girl was born Wednesday night on a Mexicana Airlines flight from Guadalajara, Mexico, to Chicago's O'Hare International Airport. An airport spokeswoman says the baby was born nearly an hour before the plane landed.

Luckily for mom and baby, there was an obstetrician on board.

The 42-year-old mother was traveling with her husband and two other children to visit relatives in Milwaukee.

A hospital spokeswoman says mother and daughter are doing fine.

This bimbo sure cut this one close. Betcha a dollar to a donut the "parents" have no intentions of going home. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the aCLU gets involved and prohibits them from going home.

You say Me-hee-ko. I was born in Mexico.

If you cross the plane its a touchdown

So long as she didn't fumble before crossing the plane.

If the 'rents aren't US citizens, I certainly hope that baby isn't considered one. Have to look this one up, haven't run across this before.

In my Coast Guard days, a young Ensign told me a story of a cruise that involved rescuing some Hatians. She said the Hatians were berthed on deck because there were so many of them. The pregnant ones were having sex, reason being the act could induce labor and their child would be born on U.S. property, thereby becoming a U.S. citizen.

I never checked this story out, but this is what she told me. I could hardly imagine less romantic conditions.

What the heck was this woman doing on a plane that late in her pregnancy?

It was too late in the pregnancy to walk across the border.

I've heard that story also and I don't doubt it has happened.

...Howard goes on to say in May of 1868 that the "Constitution as now amended, forever withholds the right of citizenship in the case of accidental birth of a child belonging to foreign parents within the limits of the country."

In which case, it is ruled a wetback, errrr, I mean a touchback.
