Report: 8 percent of U.S. newborns have undocumented parents (Totally unsustainable)

One of about every 12 babies born in the United States in 2008 was the offspring of unauthorized immigrants, a Pew Hispanic Center study released Wednesday concluded.

According to the study, an estimated 340,000 of the 4.3 million babies born in this country that year had parents who were in the United States without legal documentation.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that those children automatically become U.S. citizens, but some members of Congress are pushing to change that provision. That effort -- rooted in the debate over illegal immigration, particularly of people from Mexico -- has created some controversy.

The Washington politicians are getting what they want — voters that aren’t unhappy with them and who don’t give a rip about the Constitution.

amazing. jump the fence, have your baby, and voila.. you can’t be sent home.

This is why we need Comprehensive Deportation Reform.

Why is my meter pinging?

In 25 years, the Republicans will be lucky to have 35 seats in Senate. That is the practical reality. And, if the Democrats manage to get their coveted "pathway to citizenship" enacted, it will be worse - way worse.

Might want to think about carving up the country. Demographically it's no longer sustainable, and economically it's no longer sustainable.

[tobyhill]

Why? Because it’s more like 25%?

340,000 free birthing events, imediately followed 18 years of welfare, then registration as a democrat.

I also gotta wonder how many anchor babies are now produciing their own babies.

[tobyhill]

Yep. That’s 8% Rat voters accumulated year after year beyond the age of 18.

[OldDeckHand]

I think it's quite accurate. For instance, at Parkland Hospitial in Dallas TX, 70% of the women who give birth, are illegal aliens (1Q 2006), and Parkland delivers roughly 16K babies each year.

While Parkland is perhaps an extreme case, it's not a unique case insomuch that illegals are accounting for a sizable percentage of birth in the US.

If this is the left’s strategy, then our response should be to have as many children as we can possibly afford. At least until the left limits us to one.

[darkwing104]

Somewhere between the two...However, I have to consider the source...

I think I came to that realization in 2004, when Bush narrowly won over a left-wing radical from Massachusetts. 16 years earlier in a similar race against a lib from Massachussetts, the elder Bush won in a landslide carrying such states as California, New Jersey and Illinois. Now those states are not even competitive.

Help Texas watch her borders.
Watch live on 14 cameras and report illegal alien invaders.
Night cams in operation

Does it work? Yes.
Best time to catch them is at night.
Recently caught on cam and reported:
String of illegals running through brush with backpacks
Numerous sightings of boats crossing the river
Numerous vehicles late at night in isolated areas
IMMENSELY satisfying

The key word is undocumented parents How many more had phony documents?

Correct. This is the reality. There are just not enough white people and the major minority blocks just vote overwhelmingly Democratic. Maybe attitudes will change, but it is difficult to reach ignorant people who have no idea what made America work in the first place.

According to CNN

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that those children automatically become U.S. citizens

Yep, its right next to the abortion, only cops and military can own weapons, and separation of church and state amendments.

"The key word is undocumented parents How many more had phony documents?"

At Parkland specifically, probably not that many more, only because Parkland is a county/state hospital where the illegals have free access to health care. They don't have to steal someone's identity at Parkland to get treatment, like they do at other hospitals. Parkland - and by Parkland, I mean the Texas and US tax-payers - treats all comers.

I read a figure during the Obamacare debate about the amount of money hospitals have to write off due to identity fraud. I can't remember the exact number, but it was billions, not millions.

My brother is a physician, and the managing partner at a pretty good sized practice. One of the reasons they stopped accepting medicare patients is because of identity theft. It's rarely talked about in the media, precisely because so much of it is committed by illegals.

I can understand that and I don't blame him one bit.

My gut tells me that the number of illegals giving birth here is closer to 10%. I can't blame the children, they are innocent, but I really don't like the idea of supporting deadbeats and schemers.
