Either way it’s a start.

DEPORT ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. I don’t care of they are pregnant or not. Ike did it, Hoover did it. Roosevelt did it too. When in times of desperation, DEPORT illegal immigrants who have NO RIGHT to any benefits to begin with, and even less when the US is BROKE before even looking at paying their way in life.

DEPORT ILLEGALS.

This isn’t as much of a ‘silver lining’ as one might hope. Consider this. Suppose the federal/state government complex conceded that an ‘unborn child’ could legally be considered deserving of medicaid, i.e., recognized class status as a citizen. Just suppose...now, where would that put abortion? Hmmmmmm....methinks this is the rock and hard place and the libs, true to form, will put their right to kill an unborn human life over the life of an ‘immigrant’ and her unborn ‘tissue’....They are just being very very cautios, because if they did this, the RTLs would have a valid case to sue against Federally subsidized murder of a ‘recognized’ citizen.....crafty bastards these libs....

Time for them to return home for medical care.

Well I’ll be, a sensible law going into effect.

Yeah, we passed some common sense laws here in OK and the wetbacks bailed. Then our doughnut munching fat butt Tulsa PD refused to enforce the law. The mex's are back.

How dare they refuse to pay for those little pink Democrat voters.

“You really think in this political environment that Amnesty will even be proposed?”

HECK YEAH!! I seriously believe the democrats are such lying thugs that they will push the deathcare bill through as amendments to other bills, and then they will go after amnesty! They are going to do whatever they can to destroy this country as fast as they can. We still have to stay vigilant!

Double-edged sword. Babies with problems caused by poor pre-natal lifestyle will end up on the dole for every conceivable ailment and defect.

“Go home” to have your baby should be the rule.

They will still be entitled to hospital care during labor because of EMTALA. All this means is that the hospitals won’t be compensated at all for their care and will pass on their costs to other patients or head toward bankruptcy.

I haven’t seen any studies showing whether the prenatal care they receive is cost-effective in preventing complications, prematurity or birth defects but it might just be.

Mind you, I think birthright citizenship is a bad idea, that pregnant illegal immigrants should be deported like any other illegal immigrant, that countries that encourage their citizens to come here illegally should be billed for their care, that visas should not be issued to pregnant women likely to give birth here, and that the hospitals should dun the poor as they do the middle class.

Yep what we need is more American babies to start funding SS and providing health care workers twenty years from now. Oh wait, babies are an American career burden. They are so yesterday. Didn’t someone say immigrants are doing something Americans won’t do.

Is Nebraska willing to provide medical services for every pregnant woman in Mexico?

If not why not?

That is a serious question made with a straight face.

I am confident that the touchie-feelie types will flee that question like Dracula and garlic...

Given that their children will be U.S. citizens upon birth, I don’t think this makes sense.
Nice straw man. Not if the pregnant illegal Mexican in not in the US at birth.

I think birth-right citizenship should be abolished and instead citizenship only be granted when at least one parent is a citizen or legal permanent resident.
I disagree. For someone with your namesake's name, there is a paucity of common sense in your statement.
I refuse to accept your assumptions.
I feel that if the mother is illegal, so is the child; bastard or otherwise.

To NOT give these women pre-natal care is one of the most stupidest things I ever heard! the cheapest way to avoid having babies born with ALL sorts of physical and mental problems is to provide excellant pre natal care. these babies will be living in the US....and we WILL end up paying WAY more !

There is one thing more stupid.
The assumption that it is not possible to deport every pregnant female illegal alien before she delivers.

Unless you are suggesting that we must care for every pregnant woman in Mexico.
Are you?

We need to let everyone know how much of our money is being wasted for illegal anchor babies and their mothers.

I would suggest that all illegals be deported.

However, the reality is they aren’t leaving—being deported this week. Until that reality is here, I suggest that we give free( yes, free) prenatal care to ANY woman, only because it is soooooo cost effective in the long run. I am not saying everyone should have the fanciest care, a luxury hospital room like a hotel...but basic prenatal care at clinics.

We can do BOTH prenatal care for illegals AND work on our illegal problem at the same time.
