They assist them in filing for the emergency Medicaid.
One of my close friends is such a Social Worker in my hospital
And Medicaid is given to those mothers (for the labor/postpartum period only)
I canot speak on all of the US, I can only speak for NC and since the last time that I worked it is still that way (and I worked yesterday)
IMHO, if you do not have a social security number, my money should not be used to pay for your labor and birth
People are having children here because it is free and once they have the child, the child has acess to social services
If I were an illegal in another country...claiming to be working my a** off to send money home to my country to feed my other children there I definitely would not be havingmore children...
But here in the US...it is lucrative to have more children...
My problem is that I attend (as a Nurse) to thousands of illegal immigrants a year and the majority (not all) have a "you owe me" type of attitude
They have no social security number but want to know when they get their free car seat, WIC checks, etc.
Just my opinion

As you pointed out, some states continue to offer free of charge services paid for the rest of those hard working Americans. The fact is that most states now have removed those services from illegals or are in the process of dong so.
NC is not comparable to other heavy loaded illegal immigrants in the nation and the impact of such services rendered to the fiscal load is manageable unlike other states.
