The crisis on our southern border has many searching for reasons why thousands of immigrants are seeking to live in the United states.
No, it's entirely obvious why people want to live in the U.S. instead of the crappy places they come from.
Panama [... .] It's also the farthest from the southern U.S. border.
No, that would be ... I'm not sure without an atlas and a protractor ... Argentina?
To pop out an anchor baby isn’t a “surprising” reason.
The bill was picked up by the taxpayers
We really need to amend that amendment to get rid of the “anchor baby” situation.
It’s probably because they see Juan Williams on Fox and think, “if he can be such a success in the US, any Panamanian can strike it rich there.”
The “anchor baby” issue and the “free medical care” issue are two different things. Collecting from foreign nationals is a problem for any business, but I imagine specialist businesses would develop for just that purpose, if medical facilities decided to be aggressive.
You mean that when she flies back to Panama, she’ll find that there’s a lien on her internet cafe?
I agree with you.
But I applaud publishing articles like this one for a very basic reason.
Every day a few people that never paid attention to the news before start.
So reiterating the obvious every so often is a good thing.
Probably an article like this will outrage someone today that never realized that immigrants were coming to this country to have their baby so that they could have US citizenship.
America! The Land Of The Free Stuff! Those gringos are dumb.
Anchor baby insanity.
Nobody is proposing to fix this.

No that would be Chile...Punta Arenas
Parts of Chile are much closer, though. Border to border ... maybe Uruguay?
It would be nice if that were true, followed by a contract collection company, perhaps Panamanian nationals, collecting.
You know, I’m sick and tired of America abusing the rights of all these people. I think we should make the whole world American citizens and give them free Healthcare and retirement benefits. (sarcasm)
Every politician on the right is afraid of being labeled as mean and anti-immigrant.
Common sense in this country has been replaced by feelings. Sure you are going to offend someone if you tell them that they are not welcome in this country because they have no useful skills that this country needs.
But hey; those are the facts.
Maybe your country’s culture does not fit well with ours and we do not want very many of your people in our country because we want to preserve our culture. Sorry but those are the facts.
For most of the countries in the world that is the way they handle immigration and it used to be the way it was handled here.
Try immigrating to Japan. Bad news pal you can’t. Japan is for Japanese only. I don’t care if your family has been living in Japan for generations. If your family tree is not Japanese for a dozen centuries you are not ever going to be Japanese.
People have been doing this for decades. I wonder if the IRS is following up as they grow up and making them pay taxes on their businesses and incomes in their countries of origin as they would a natural born or naturalized citizen? I’m not holding my breath.
good vid post.
I REALLY want to know which US hospitals are advertizing birth services in Central America.
Fix this? To our overlords, these people ARE the fix - to our low birthrate. They’re being trafficked here to keep housing, schools, and store aisles full.
It was fixed, in 1924. It's been misinterpreted since then. Originally, the fourteenth amendment gave citizenship to former black slaves, in 1868. It fixed the situation where black slaves were denied citizenship. It was meant just for black Americans. As proof, American Indians were denied citizenship until the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, where Indians were given citizenship.
The fourteenth amendment was never intended for pregnant illegal aliens to give birth here and have citizenship given to their babies. Liberals never pay attention to what the Constitution means.
