I think the situation Kholt is talking about is the propensity of pregnant Mexican women to cross the border for the sole purpose of ensuring that their child is born in the US, because that child can be used as leverage to get the rest of the family the right to stay in the US.

I think her point is that the mother had no right to be in the US to begin with, and is using the child to manipulate the system.

I have no idea how common this practice actually is.

I can tell you that Northern VA (where both Kholt and I live) has thousands and thousands of illegal Hispanics who live and work without any difficulty from immigration or any other law enforcement authority.
