Posted on by

That right is guaranteed by the 14th Amendment. There is a problem here. Who is paying for the costs involved?
In particular, who is paying the initial and future medical costs, the down-the-road educational costs and any social benefits these children may be entitled to? To put the matter into a sharper perspective, consider the recent story of a Honduran women who is believed to be the first foreign woman to have a Zika baby born in the New York area. Who exactly is to pay the estimated cost of treatment of this child that could amount to over $1 million. This problem could be even more acute in the Canadian context because the health care system  there provides free coverage to all Canadian citizens.
