Sitting behind the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-capitol-police-suggest-leaving-razor-wire-fences-up-until-fall-report\/\" title=\"U.S. Capitol Police Suggest Leaving Razor Wire Fences Up Until Fall: Report\">razor wire fence<\/a>, he held the three-year-old girl, who he claimed was his wife&#8217;s daughter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Lieutenant Chris Olivarez from the Texas Department of Public Safety translated the man&#8217;s interview and revealed the urgency\u2062 of their situation. &#8220;He\u200b was saying that his wife\u200d was\u2064 pregnant, that her water broke&#8230; here on this side while\u2064 they\u200d were \u2062waiting,&#8221; Olivarez explained. The National Guard swiftly took the woman to the hospital for medical \u200ctreatment.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>American Citizenship and the Border Crisis<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Arriving in Eagle\u200b Pass, the couple found themselves in the midst of Governor Greg \u200cAbbott&#8217;s efforts to secure the\u2062 border. Shelby Park, now under state \u200ccontrol, became a focal point for border security measures, including the expulsion of border patrol, installation of barriers, and the deployment of National Guard troops and law enforcement.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Olivarez confirmed that if the baby is born on U.S. soil, it will be granted American citizenship. \u200cHe also shed light on a common trend among pregnant migrants. &#8220;To be that far in your pregnancy, they\u2064 have\u2062 to know more or less when she is going to\u2064 give birth in order to cross on this side and cross here in the United States,&#8221; he explained. Many pregnant women wait until the last\u2062 moment to cross, often giving \u2063birth on the same day or even during\u200d the river crossing itself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Prior to Texas taking control, Shelby Park served as a processing \u2062center for thousands of individuals who turned themselves in \u200dto border patrol for entry into \u200cthe United States. However, Olivarez \u200demphasized that many \u2063migrants \u200dintentionally seek out border control, knowing they will likely be released into the\u2064 country.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3>A Dangerous Journey and Frustration with the Federal Government<\/h3>\n<blockquote>\n<p>With Texas now in charge, migrants face arrest for illegal trespassing, being told to swim back, or waiting\u200c in hopes of being picked up by border patrol. The only exception is a medical emergency, such \u2063as a woman going into labor.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Olivarez scolded the man\u200c for risking his child&#8217;s life by crossing\u200d the treacherous river. He highlighted\u200c the daily danger of drowning, with an \u200baverage of one person losing their life each day. &#8220;There&#8217;s really no way to rescue that child because the current is so strong,&#8221; he warned.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Expressing frustration, Olivarez criticized the federal government for not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nfl-drops-the-hammer-on-gambling-players-can-now-be-banished-for-life\/\" title=\"NFL takes strict action against gambling, players face lifetime ban.\">taking stronger \u2062measures<\/a> to prevent these dangerous crossings. &#8220;We&#8217;re the only ones really trying to prevent that,&#8221; he lamented.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u2064 Should\u2064 the child\u2064 born in\u2063 the\u200c National Guard jurisdiction be \u2063granted American citizenship, considering the circumstances of their birth?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  The jurisdiction of the National Guard, has become \u2064a temporary holding facility for illegal immigrants, including children and families. The birth of this child on U.S. soil \u2064raises questions about American citizenship and\u200b the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/liberal-northern-state-calls-up-national-guard-after-being-overwhelmed-by-trickle-of-migrants\/\" title=\"Liberal state overwhelmed by migrants, calls up National Guard.\">ongoing\u2063 border crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Under \u2064the current interpretation of the 14th Amendment\u200d of the U.S. Constitution, children born on American soil are automatically granted \u200ccitizenship, regardless\u200b of the immigration status of their parents. This principle, known as birthright citizenship, has long been a contentious issue, with proponents arguing it upholds the nation&#8217;s values of inclusivity\u2063 and\u200c diversity, while opponents claim it incentivizes\u2063 illegal immigration.<\/p>\n<p>The case of this newborn raises \u200dquestions \u200babout the rights and responsibilities \u2062that come with American citizenship. Should\u200d the child \u2063be granted citizenship, considering the circumstances of their \u200cbirth? What obligations \u200bdoes the United States have towards the child and their family?<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, this incident highlights \u2064the complexities \u2064of\u2062 the border crisis, \u2063an issue that has plagued American politics for years. The \u200dnumber \u2064of illegal border\u2063 crossings\u2062 has \u200dsurged \u200bin recent months, putting a \u200dstrain on existing\u200d resources and facilities. The \u2063Biden administration&#8217;s more\u200b lenient \u2063approach to immigration policies \u200dhas likely contributed to the \u2063increase\u200c in border\u200c traffic.<\/p>\n<p>While some argue for stronger border security and stricter\u200d immigration policies, others believe in offering \u2063humanitarian support to those\u2063 fleeing poverty, violence, and\u2062 political unrest. The birth of this child on the U.S. side of the\u200b Rio Grande is a stark reminder of the challenges faced by immigrants\u200c and\u2064 the difficult choices they make in pursuit of a better life.<\/p>\n<p>The situation also raises questions\u2064 about \u200bthe \u200crole of the international community in addressing \u2062the root \u200ccauses of migration.\u200b Many\u2064 immigrants, like the pregnant woman in \u200cthis story,\u2063 come from countries experiencing economic and political instability.\u2063 By addressing these underlying\u2064 issues, the hope is that fewer people \u2062will feel compelled to risk\u200d their lives and the lives of \u2063their children in \u200bsearch of a better future.<\/p>\n<p>In \u200dconclusion, \u200dthe birth of an illegal immigrant&#8217;s child on the U.S. \u200bshore of\u2064 the Rio Grande brings attention to the\u200d ongoing border crisis and the \u2063issue of American citizenship. It prompts discussions \u200dabout birthright citizenship and the rights\u2063 and responsibilities that come with it. It \u200balso highlights \u200dthe \u200bcomplexities\u200d of \u200bthe immigration\u2062 debate\u200d and \u200bthe need \u2062for comprehensive solutions that address both \u2064border security and \u200bthe root causes of migration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Eagle Pass, Texas, a pregnant Venezuelan migrant crossed the Rio Grande illegally with her three-year-old daughter.
