No you are not misunderstanding....My nephew did his internship in Texas. They had ambulances waiting with their motors running to take the women in labor back across the border. The problem is that we are reluctant to send the parents back across the border because the child is a US citizen. When the child comes of age they can sponsor the rest of the family into the country.
