Yes, the system has to change, giving birth costs a fortune. Your daughter needs to have access to a hospital in case of an emergency. I don't know how safe getting ultrasounds really is. I think the only benefit generally afforded unauthorized migrants is emergency medical care. Refugees are in a different group and receive more benefits. Undocumented immigrants pay taxes, over $30 billion, mostly without benefitting from the programs they help fund. They contribute more than they use from emergency hospital visits. At least that is my understanding, maybe I am wrong.

Where are illegals paying taxes except for purchase of items/services they are not being GIVEN?!

They supposedly use ITIN, allowing immigrants without Social Security numbers to legally file tax returns and claim the income reported on their W-2’s to the IRS.
