I'm following you Lamplighter and not having any problem with your direction.

For the pregnant women crossing borders thing to have any weight in this discussion, you need to show that some significant percentage of children born to aliens come from border jumping women for that express purpose.

Otherwise the issue is just a distraction from the original topic. Which was, I think, Lamplighters meaning when he called it a ploy. He caught Merc palming a card.

No, you only have to show there are kids being born to women that are here illegally, and thats pretty easy because there's a shitload of them. It's impossible to separate the ones that jump the border when they're due because they want an anchor baby, from the ones that want free & better hospital care.

Easy cure, just keep a van at the hospital and as soon as they discharge mom, drive her ass to the border. But the kid's a citizen, you say? Right, we'll be keeping the kid. We could rent them to child molesters until they're old enough to work, then sell the surplus in the middle east. I have a feeling this plan is not sustainable though.
