In the early 20th century, before public health care centers sprouted, it was not unusual for children to be born at home with the help of a midwife.

This practice was more common in poorer areas like rural towns, such as those in South Texas, along the U.S. - Mexico border region.

Today, such births often create nightmares for United States citizens – who find themselves suddenly alleged by the U.S government to be perpetuators of immigration fraud.
