Anchor Babies Weigh Down Economy

[OvrAndOvrAgn]

Just consider Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, the second busiest maternity ward in the U.S. In 2006, 70 percent of the women giving birth in Parkland were illegal immigrants. That added up to 11,200 babies for which Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million to deliver these babies, the feds another $9.5 million and Dallas taxpayers tossed in $31.3 million. The average illegal patient is 25 years old and giving birth to her second anchor baby. We could also talk about California, but you get the point.

Isn't there a bill up about anchor babies? Is it federal, state or just talk?

[LisaM22]

never understood this, so could a American just make up a name and act like a foreigner and get free health care?

Everyone should have the opportunity for a happy life.
Me? I ain't scared or threatened by anyone taking my job, my home or my livlihood.
What frightens me most, is people who judge and condemn people based on their skin color or where they come from.
No one could do more harm to this country than Timothy McVeigh, a home grown terrorist. I haven't read anything about hispanics, asians , africans or any other immigrants moving here to bomb us.

Just wondering, and you don't have to answer, but what race are you?

I disagree. We are being "bombed" by anchor babies.
