These babies are doomed to unsupervised home deliveries. substandard care. and a lifetime of potential handicaps if they fail to get adequate medical care during birth. If Congress will not strike that shameful provision down. perhaps the Supreme Court will. The prohibition on assistance to older children also makes no sense. Many children will be affected and harmed. but many others will not. It depends entirely on where they are born. Children born in the United States are U.S. citizens and will be eligible for assistance. even if their parents are legal immigrants. But children born overseas will be caught by the ban. This is a wonderful anomaly.
