US tells migrant woman 8 months pregnant to wait in Mexico
Nomaan Merchant and VerÓnica G. CÃrdenas, Associated Press Updated 7:24 pm CDT, Friday, September 6, 2019
MATAMOROS, Mexico (AP) — Eight-and-a-half-months pregnant and experiencing contractions, a Salvadoran woman who had crossed the Rio Grande and was apprehended by the Border Patrol was forced to go back to Mexico.
Agents took her to the hospital, where doctors gave her medication to stop the contractions. And then, according to the woman and her lawyer, she was almost immediately sent back to Mexico.
There, she joined the more than 38,000 people forced to wait across the border for immigration court hearings under a rapidly expanding Trump administration policy. And her plight highlights the health risks and perils presented by the "Remain in Mexico" program.

GREAT move !!!
They should do this with ALL pregnant border-jumpers!
And once again, I have to say it:
NO OTHER REPUBLICAN running to be president in 2016 would have done this, other than Mr. Trump, had that other person attained the office of the presidency.
C'mon, who you think you're kiddin' ??
NO ONE.

If these women were coming to have a baby born with no benefits...I would feel differently.
But they want anchor babies. So go back to Mexico.
