Calling attention to a "growing phenomenon" of illegal immigrants entering the United States to give birth to a child — in order to take advantage of U.S. "birthright citizenship" — Rep. Tom Tancredo says it's time "we yank back the illegal-alien welcome mat."



The Colorado Republican notes that an estimated 300,000 children of illegal aliens are born in the United States every year and immediately become U.S. citizens, thanks to a "peculiar" U.S. policy that all persons born in the U.S. are citizens.



The congressman recalled a recent interview by CBS News with Joe Riley, CEO of the McAllen Texas Medical Center near the Texas-Mexico border, who said he's seen "mothers about to give birth that walk up to the hospital still wet from swimming across the river in actual labor, dirty, wet, cold, here to have a child in the United States."
