Thread: Email I received--Anchor babies Parkland Memorial Hospital

It would be cheaper to pay for their $200 delivery fee in Mexico. Let's open illegal alien birthing centers at Mexican Consuls so their babies are born Mexican.


Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, Texas is a fairly famous
institution and for a variety of reasons:
1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963
2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after
3. Jack Ruby-who killed Lee Harvey Oswald, died there a few years
later...by coincidence
"On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest
maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each year. (That's almost 44 per day---every day)
A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal
immigrants. That's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dalla s
According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering
15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million
dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked in $34.5 million, Dallas
County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another
$9.5 million.
The average patient in Parkland is maternity wards is 25 years old,
married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal
immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay.
OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than
everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital ,
they do. " Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics. NINE.
The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a
patient at one of the clinics and pre g nant with her third child---her
previous two were also born at Parkland . Her first two deliveries were
free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost
$200 to have them in Mexico . This time, the hospital wants her to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won't turn her away. (I wonder why they even bother asking at this point.)
"How long has this been going on? What are the long-term affects?
Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986
shortly after her mother entered the US illegally - now she is having her own child there as well. (That's right, she's technically a US citizen.)
These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition,
birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as < BR car seats, bottles, diapers and formula.
Most of these things are available to American citizens as well but only
for low-income applicants and even then, the red tape involved is
almost insurmountable.
Because these women are illegal immigrants, they do not have to provide
any sort of legitimate identification - no proof of income. An American
citizen would have to provide a social security number which would
reveal their annual income - an illegal immigrant need only claim to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word.
Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County residents who
earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also have to prove that they did
not refuse health coverage at their current job. Yeah, the 'free' care
is not so easy for Americans.)
There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4 million dollars
for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for
free treatment because they resided outside of Dallas County so the
hospital is going to sue them! Illegals get it all free! But U. S
citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is
this?
As if that isn't annoying enough, the illegal immigrant patients are
actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish. In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset that she had to
translate comments from the hospital staff into Spanish for her
husband. The doctor was trying to explain the situation to the family and the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish. This was apparently a great injustice to her.
In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland Hospital is
now providing incentives in the form of extra pay for applicants who
speak Spanish. Additionally, medical students at the University of
Texas Southwestern for which Parkland Hospital is the training facility will
now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already
jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a
ridiculous multi-semester (multicultural) requirement.
( Sorry for the length, but this needs wide circulation particularly to
our "employees" in Congress.)
Remember that this is only ONE hospital is Dallas , Texas . There are
many more hospitals across our country that also have to deal with
this.
PLEASE SEND THIS TO EVERY U.S. CITIZEN YOU KNOW.

Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything.â€

And they wonder why we're pissed.

I received the same email about 2 weeks ago. I am glad to see it is making the rounds. I passed the same email on to everyone in my address book.

NO.. that's wrong!

I know.. I know..

There’s always been a *MYTH* ..that if a person were to be ‘born on US soil’, that they're an ‘automatic citizen’. I even THOUGHT that, ..until I did some RESEARCH into it. If this were the case, then ALL sorts of people from ALL over the world would be coming here in droves, just to ‘pop’ out a baby citizen on ‘this side’ of the line, so that they could then be qualified to all the benefits of US citizenship. But that is NOT the case and it's enticing a HUGE percentage of illegals to DO just that..

..which NOW is happening..

Whoever started THAT myth, should be hung, as it's SO FAR from the truth it's pathetic! The 14th Amendment does NOT say anything about illegal FOREIGNERS coming to this country to bear citizens! In fact, it CLEARLY states it’s NOT for illegal foreigners, but ONLY for the [then] newly freed slaves, guaranteeing THEM, and THEIR CHILDRENS’ citizenship!

*Remember* ..the ONLY way a Citizen can become a Citizen, is to be ‘BORN FROM’ a Citizen, OR to be Naturalized!

PERIOD!

Again, there are VERY CLEAR REASONS our ‘Founding Fathers’ wrote this!

So Alexander Hamilton’s words come to mind when he wrote in 1802: “To admit foreigners INDISCRIMINATELY to the rights of Citizens, the moment they foot in our country would be nothing less than to admit the Grecian horse into the citadel of our liberty and sovereignty.â€

Thanks for the WONDERFULLY CORRECT information iQuestionEverything! Found this also.

They are asking Congress to Clarify Section 5--how scary! We need people who know what they are doing clarifying this. Isn't it up to the Supreme Court?

I totally agree they should be charged with a felony when they enter the U.S. illegally and the felon charge contingent on day of capture rather than date of illegal entry.

The Mothers Against Illegal Aliens

Congress needs to go on record as legally declaring that the child of an illegal alien inherits the status of his parent; thus, the child, like his parent, is recognized as an illegal alien. NO “amendmentâ€
