May 2001 Features: Expectativas maternas de mujeres mexicanas
que dieron a luz en los Estados Unidos When examining the question of
why women currently living in Matamoros and Valle Hermoso, Tamaulipas
decided to give birth to their children in the US, Colef researchers
Cueva and Vásquez looked at a number of explanations including
future plans for the family to immigrate to the US, the quality
of US medical services, and future educational and economic opportunities
for their children in the United States. Their conclusions suggest
that the most prevalent reason why Mexican women give birth in
the US is not to take advantage of medical benefits or just to
simply gain citizenship for their children (as the US media often
suggests) but to give their children the right to possibly take
advantage of a US high-school or university education. Tijuana's Ecoparque: Decentralized Water
