I haven't been following this thread, so if someone has already covered what I'm about to ask then please forgive, but does the same principle then hold true for Mexican nationals who come across our border illegally to give birth? Contrast and compare: * An American citizen in the employ of the US government, ordered by the US government to be in another country on either a US government-owned property or a portion of a foreign military's property set aside for the US military, VERSUS a Mexican citizen who has permission from neither the Mexican government nor the US government to be anywhere in the US, much less on property owned by or set aside for the Mexican government's use. * A child born to an American citizen who goes off American-purposed foreign soil and into that foreign country's health system to utilize emergency services and is therefore responsible for payment, VERSUS a child born to a Mexican citizen who has no permission to be here but who has walked into our country's health system to utilize emergency services and is therefore responsible for payment. Should both these statements hold true: "She was born to parents who are (and were) US Citizens, done." "She was born to parents who are (and were) Mexican Citizens, done." I'm not claiming it should be one way or the other, and I'm not well schooled in the entire scope of the illegal immigration debate; I'm asking to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I really do enjoy listening to the opinions of the people on this list.
