I guess she dropped anchor.

Why doesn't Mexico take care of its own people? Why don't the ultra-wealthy Mexican elites help to pay for the health care and education etc of their own poor? Why do they instead encourage their poor to leave Mexico and invade the United States? Nature provides a parallel that is instructive.
Some species of birds thrive not by carefully rearing their own young, but by pawning that task off on adults of other species. The European Cuckoo, whose distinctive call is immortalized in the sound of the "cuckoo clock," is the bird in which this habit has been most thoroughly studied. Female European Cuckoos lay their eggs only in the nests of other species of birds. A cuckoo egg usually closely mimics the eggs of the host (one of whose eggs is often removed by the cuckoo).
The host may recognize the intruding egg and abandon the nest, or it may incubate and hatch the cuckoo egg. Shortly after hatching, the young European Cuckoo, using a scoop-like depression on its back, instinctively shoves over the edge of the nest any solid object that it contacts. With the disappearance of their eggs and rightful young, the foster parents are free to devote all of their care to the young cuckoo. Frequently this is an awesome task, since the cuckoo chick often grows much larger than the host adults long before it can care for itself. One of the tragicomic scenes in nature is a pair of small foster parents working like Sisyphus to keep up with the voracious appetite of an outsized young cuckoo.
No, the 14th Amd does NOT say that.
Mother and child need to go home to Mexico.
What's "Undocumented"?
Is that something like
Just wondering....
Just one of the many reasons we love him so much here...sarc/

“cuckoo”
If you wrote that, darn fine job!
Just put the hospital bill on my tab.
And the kids education.
And we better support the mother too...and her husband..brother, mother and father. Better get her other kids in-country to see their new sybling. Lets get them some jobs... you know... the ones Americans won’t do.
Go ahead and bill me for all of it....
Oh, right. You already have.
Perfect.
Stationed outside the woman’s hospital room was Border Patrol Agent Ortiz, who refused to give his first name.Isn't there a better way for the Border Patrol to spend their time than guarding the door of one woman and her newborn? They possibly kept one illegal immigrant out of the country (the kid is a citizen) at the same time that hundreds more were crossing. All this stunt did was generate bad publicity for the border patrol. Limited resources require responsible priorities.
“I know that sound,” Ortiz said. “I heard it when I had my two children.”It sounds like even the agent thought this was a bad idea.

Another anchor baby/U.S. citizen to drain the taxpayers' pockets.
Is this a great country or what?
I’m sorry, but aliens who are in the United States are subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. Else, how could we deport them?
Some species of birds thrive not by carefully rearing their own young, but by pawning that task off on adults of other species.Excellent analogy. There are many issues contributing to this problem. Responsibility by the Mexican government and elites is a major part of the solution.
But why should the Mexican Government and elites address this problem? Big business and the US government are doing a fine job of taking care of it already.
Crippling fines for companies that get caught employing illegals would fix the problem in a heartbeat without turning our country into a police state. Shareholders would make sure of it. There are a lot less employers of illegals than illegals. Mexico would have to deal with their own problems when the US jobs dry up.
More agents guarding nurseries isn't the answer.
No, the 14th Amd does NOT say that.Literally true. Wishing that the system worked that way doesn't change reality.
If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride.This problem needs creative solutions. Not the same old worn out solutions that always let Big Business off the hook.
“Citizenship” refers to those of Mexican nationality who have arrived at the age of 18 and are in full exercise of their rights as Mexicans—voting being the principal example. (Mexican Constitution, Articles 34, 35, 36).
According to the Mexican Constitution, Article 34:
“Citizens of the (Mexican) Republic are those men and women who, possessing the status of Mexicans [nationality], meet, in addition, the following qualifications:
Having completed 18 years of age, and
Having an honest means of livelihood.
The simplest way to clear it up once and for all is to undo the executive order that began this insane policy decades ago then let it go to the USSC when the government is sued.
