It is my position that fruadulent Certificates showing 'proof of domicile' are being issued to these mothers. No rocket scientist required to confirm the FAKE certificate stuff going on in Amchem Goem.
You don't have to be a migrant mother to get a fake certificate. You don't even have to be a mother either.
My point is that there is simply no advantage to having your baby born in Goa. You are juxtaposing an international reality with a situation within a federal country, where anyone is free to travel and settle down anywhere (except in certain areas of the North-East).
I just fail to understand the connection you're trying to draw up here, and then defend it by raising various other issues.
You are right when you talk about fake certificates being issued. But you are mixing up matters thoroughly in order to arrive at an anti-migrant conclusion.

Here is something which amche nidun-aslelle Goecar might find worth noting:
There are a good number of pregnant women in Karnataka & Hyderabad who pack their khatli-potli and travel to Goa for delivery. Not that the hospital facilities in Goa are good (they might coincidentally be) - but for an incentive allowance paid for by the "Chairmen of the Voting Banks"
After delivery, the next stop is the Mamlatdar. A ration Card later - they then become eligible (along with their family - with Panchayat residence certificates .... of course) for MEDICLAIM covered Health Care.
Goans pay taxes.....and guess who gets the benefit of MEDICLAIM - besides the politicians?
The one thing I've learnt over time is that it's hard to stay on track in a discussion with a JC (as is also the case with a BC, i.e. "Bernado Colaco") ;-)
