The Houston Chronicle published a remarkable hospital-level view of how illegal immigrants desire for “a U.S.-born baby” affects border states.[Border baby boom strains South Texas, by James Pinkerton, Houston Chronicle, September 24, 2006.

From the story’s opening paragraphs:

“First it was a trickle, now it's a flood.

"Rising numbers of undocumented immigrants from Mexico and Central America are streaming into Texas to give birth, straining hospitals and costing taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars, health officials say.

"Doctors and health officials say they are overwhelmed by both the new arrivals and those immigrant mothers who already are in the state . . . Immigrants 'want a U.S.-born baby' and know that emergency room staffers don't collect any money up front, said Dr. Mario Rodriguez, an obstetrician in Starr County."

In a column I wrote for EdNews.org, I said that anchor baby citizenship granted through the misinterpretation of the 14^th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution is an emerging crisis that will lead to America’s “unraveling.”
