llegal Immigrant Births Costing Americans Millions

McALLEN, Texas (CBS News) ― It was 5 a.m. and CBS News national correspondent Byron Pitts is with a woman who is nine months pregnant. She’s rushed to a south Texas hospital to undergo a C-section - a $4,700 medical procedure that won’t cost her a dime. She qualifies for emergency Medicaid.

How is this an emergency if it’s a C-section? That’s just a technical question.

Eliot is one of an estimated 300,000 children of illegal immigrants born in the United States every year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. They’re given instant citizenship because they are born on U.S. soil, which makes it easier for their parents to become U.S. citizens.

That’s because those babies can eventually sponsor their parents - when they turn 21 years old.

As for Eliot’s mother, no longer as fearful of deportation, she told CBS News her name, Fabiola, and her story.

Why is she no longer fearful of deportation? She’s still illegal and so is her husband and other 2 children. For them to be working in the US they have stolen someone’s ID which has wreaked havoc and mayhem on that US Citizen’s life and livelihood.

Take healthcare for example — an estimated $1.1 billion per year for undocumented men, women and children, according to the Rand Corporation.

Joe Riley is the CEO of the McAllen Texas Medical Center near the Texas-Mexico border. Forty percent of the children born there, nearly 2,400 last year, were the babies of illegal immigrants.

That’s just one hospital.

McAllen is part of a large hospital system. Like all hospitals, it is mandated by law to treat all emergency-room patients, not verify citizenship.

“We have uncompensated care of over $200 million a year,” Riley said.

Someone is paying for this, otherwise McAllen would be out of business. This is one of the contributors to the high cost of health care to US Citizens.

“It seems fundamentally wrong that we ought to give the greatest honor of their citizenship,” Smith said. “His or her mother came across the border illegally.”

Many Americans who struggle to take care of their own families think it is unfair that they should take care of a family and they are not U.S. citizens.

“I don’t understand the resentment,” said. “I know that God will help them, too.”

That’s what Fabiola’s doing for young Eliot. Relying on her faith, her family … and the U.S. government.

That US government is the American Taxpayer. These invaders and law breakers hold no allegiance to the United States, they only have an allegiance in bilking the American taxpayer. It’s gotten to the point where the illegal aliens believe this is their due, their right. And our government is contributing to this attitude and belief. That includes all of the current Presidential candidates of both parties.
