Heavily pregnant woman ended up giving birth before she could be taken to hospital
SNIP
A 27-year-old woman went into labor Wednesday while trying to enter the country through the Port of Lakeville in Arizona.
Federal authorities at the southern Arizona crossing ended up having to help deliver the baby.
A short time later, she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy.
The boy will be a United States citizen since he was born on American soil.
An ambulance was notified, but the Tohono O'odham tribal member went into labor and required the assistance of U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers medically trained as EMTs.
The officers assessed the woman and determined she would probably deliver prior to the ambulance's arrival
Once the woman gave birth, she and her newborn son were taken to a hospital in Phoenix.

Meanwhile, Texas Gov. Rick Perry and other state officials have authorized the Texas Department of Public Safety to begin emergency 'surge operations' along the border with Mexico in response to an influx of immigrants making the illegal crossing, mostly women and children from Central America.
State leaders authorized the department to spend on the surge as needed and provided an additional $1.3 million per week, according to a statement Perry’s office released late Wednesday.
Department officials will be expected to report results of the surge to the governor and Legislature 'periodically,' the statement said.
'Texas can't afford to wait for Washington to act on this crisis, and we will not sit idly by while the safety and security of our citizens are threatened,' Perry said.
'Until the federal government recognizes the danger it’s putting our citizens in by its inaction to secure the border, Texas law enforcement must do everything they can to keep our citizens and communities safe.'

Aren’t there Mexican American Injuns?
“possibly” does not equal “is”
... Our American president .... Is not a friend of America!
The fact that she was crossing legally at the local port of entry indicates she more likely is than isn’t. Certainly she had the necessary documents.
The Daily Mail is throwing faux red meat to stir up comments that they can point at to criticize those ignorant racist colonists. (As if their country isn’t swirling the drain ahead of ours).
there are no other countries that give citizenship b/c you’re born on their soil. they rightly say the kid is a citizen of the country of their parent(s).
I’m not all for that women, but what else borderguards expected to do in this case
Aren’t there Mexican American Injuns?

AFAIK, the term American Indian refers to indigent tribal people on the American Continents (Canada down through South America), which provides differentiation from East Indians.
You better ask Ted Cruz. Canadian law is very similar to US - that’s why he renounced his Canadian citizenship.
I was kind of wondering the same thing myself. I see a lot of rhetoric, about protecting citizens, but what exactly, do they plan on doing?
Indigenous?
I didn’t know you had to be poor to be Indian
The Yaqui maybe?
Is it to repel invasion, or to change diapers and kiss illegals’ azz. Makes a big difference!
Not so.
If you were born in the Western Hemisphere, you're a citizen of the country you were born in.
This just shows you what kind of ignorant idiots we are getting as new “residents” in this country!
I believe the government is complicit in this travesty. We may even be paying the smugglers. Or we may be getting them to within a few miles of the Texas border then letting them walk the rest of the way all the time telling about their long arduous journey.
Tohoho O’odham. Used to be Papago. Tribe stradles border.
Well, so far, by the looks of it, it appears that changing diapers and kissing illegals azz is winning out.
Thank you. I checked it out. It mentioned Maricopa county. I wonder if Sheriff Joe meets any of them?
Hi chirumba, I crossed the goal line. My baby is now a us citizen!
They do not tend to be in Maricopa county. They are in Pima county.
