出生公民权的故事……我们在麻省（Maskachusetts）社交圈里有个家伙娶了个洪都拉斯人。他妻子每逢亲戚怀孕，就会来和他们住在一起。等到生孩子的时候，这位亲戚就会打Uber去世界最贵的医院之一，比如Beth Israel。她生下孩子，说出那句神奇的话来避免以后收到账单（“我是无证的”），然后几周后带着婴儿、出生证明和美国护照返回洪都拉斯。这个家庭很可能已经让纳税人为医院的“无偿医疗”支付了至少30万美元，而且已经铸造出10多个美国公民。当这些孩子成年后，他们有自动权利为父母申请绿卡，所以最终这个家庭将负责大约40或50名来自洪都拉斯的合法移民进入美国。

Birthright citizenship tale... Our social circle in Maskachusetts included a guy married to a Honduran. Every time one of his wife's relatives is pregnant she comes to stay with them. When it is time to deliver the baby, the relative Ubers to one of the most expensive hospitals in the world, e.g., Beth Israel. She gives birth, says the magic words to avoid ever receiving a bill ("I'm undocumented"), and, after a few weeks, heads back to Honduras with baby, birth certificate, and U.S. passport. This one family has likely cost taxpayers at least $300,000 in payments to the hospital for "uncompensated care" and more than 10 U.S. citizens have been minted. When the kids are adults they have an automatic right to sponsor their parents for green cards, so eventually this one family will be responsible for perhaps 40 or 50 legal immigrants from Honduras to the U.S.
