Report: 41 Percent Of Births To Foreign-Born Mothers AP ^ Immigrant mothers gave birth to 41 percent of the babies born in Denver in 2002, says a report by a group that favors limiting immigration. The Center for Immigration Studies said nationally 23 percent of babies were born to foreign-born mothers. The 2002 figures are the latest available. Immigrant mothers accounted for only 15 percent of the births in Denver and nationally in 1990. The share of births to immigrant mothers has at least doubled since 1990 in the populous Front Range counties. The center's study said Colorado was fifth in percentage of births to illegal immigrants. Dr. Richard Jones, 58, interim chief of obstetrics for the Denver Health citywide system of clinics, said he took classes at night after work to hone his Spanish-speaking skills. "It doesn't matter where you are from," Jones said. "We'll take care of you and your baby." Denver Health does not track the nationality of birth mothers, but officials said the cost of serving the uninsured is growing. Last year it totaled $285 million last year, up from $100 million in 1991, spokeswoman Bobbi Barrow said. Denver Public Schools spokesman Mark Stevens said officials are prepared for the increase in immigrant children. "Our role is to take kids where they are when we get them and move them forward," Stevens said. "That is something we are very used to dealing with here. We have programs and services in place. We've been at this business for quite a while. The numbers may change a little bit. Our job is to find the most talented teachers available who enjoy and see the benefits of working with that population."
