Fleeing violence in Mexico, one Honduran family decided to cross into the U.S. illegally last month and turn themselves over to Border Patrol agents in the desert near San Diego.

The father and son were immediately returned to the border and told to walk back to Tijuana, but the mother, who was pregnant, was in pain. So Border Patrol agents took her to a nearby hospital, where she gave birth.

Two days later, the mother was given a choice: Go back to Mexico with or without her newborn, who is a U.S. citizen by birthright.

"That's not a choice. That's not a legitimate choice," said Mitra Ebadolahi, an attorney with the ACLU of San Diego and Imperial Counties. She said the mother and the baby returned to Mexico.

“Did I tell you about this new restaurant idea that I have?” Kurt was tempted to say yes just so he wouldn’t have to hear it, but he figured it couldn’t be any worse than the current conversation topic.   He shook his head no and gestured to Thomas to lay it upon him. “Well, it’s a restaurant I’ve been thinking about opening.   I’m not sure what kind of food it’s gonna serve yet, but the main attraction won’t be the food.   Basically it’s a normal restaurant with an average everyday menu, but the thing is once you are done with the meal you can break your dishes.”   Kurt’s long stare and puzzled look told Thomas that he was expecting to hear more.   “That’s it.” “You know Thomas,” Kurt started, “I’ve heard a lot of weird ideas from you, but if I were to list all of your ideas in order of weirdness this would rank pretty high up there.   Definitely a number one contender.” “No, really it’s not that bad.   It’s unique.   People can come in...

Michailovic pushed his glasses back and sighed.   “The following numbers are being released. ”The numbers came spitting out of Michailovic’s mouth, resembling in more ways than one a madman with a machine gun in a massacre.   Hardly anyone showed any reaction, making it impossible to tell whether they were shot or not.   The notable exceptions were a couple of smiles breaking out here and there as some numbers were being skipped.   As the list carried on, Callahan realized that before long it would be zooming in at an alarming rate on his proximity. Callahan had no idea who those ahead of him were, but he could see that none of them were making the cut.   He considered it good, after all the more gone before him, the higher his chances were.   He looked up at Michailovic, almost trying to read his lips before the words were spat out. “116.” Callahan looked around, trying to identify the holder of this number.   However, no one was responding. “117.” C...
