We should not be paying a damn thing for those pregnant women. Not even room and board in detention centers. Thanks Trump.
That should put a real crimp in those coming and trying to get in to have their kids in the USA. Means they won’t get an automatic pass because their kids are citizens.
“Forcing pregnant women to wait alone in Mexico for their asylum hearings puts them at extreme risk of abuse and extortion. Moreover, it creates significant health risks for mothers and children facing imminent delivery dates when proper medical care is not available,” Merkley said.
Of course Merkley is a bleeding heart Dim Senator from Oregon.

One of my ideas, even for American gals near the border, is if they are on Medicaid, we should be paying for them to get operations and child birth at Tijuana General or Nuevo Laredo Hospital.
Its a lot less expensive to have operations and childbirth done in Mexico than in America.
Such a strategy could help get Medicaid expenditures down, as well as provide income for loyal Mexican citizens who have decided to stay south of the border and make Mexico Great Again.
