150. It's still an awful lot of money in some other countries

Seems like a powerful inducement for a woman to cross the border to have babies here. If Canada, for example, offered a $ 50,000 bond for every baby, I wouldn't be surprised if some Americans weren't tempted to deliver in Toronto. Given the comparative economies of the US and Mexico, why wouldn't women be drawn into this country to deliver?

I know the money goes to the baby and not the woman, but mothers love their children and here's a way of giving their kids a great opportunity. Honey, I braved the trip across the border so that some day you would have money... human nature dictates that that would be extremely appealing.
