Doesn't this bill authorize the taxpayers to pay for prenatal care for illegals so that they can safely give birth to anchor babies on US soil? I do believe it does.

From an AJC article...

The law requires government agencies to verify the legal status of any adult applying for taxpayer-provided benefits. But the bill exempts things like prenatal care and treatment for communicable diseases.

And the new law did not even attempt to deal with what are estimated to be the largest costs: emergency medical care for illegal immigrants or the ability of their children to attend public schools. Those taxpayer-supported services have been guaranteed by the federal courts.
