Actually, it does.

It means that the child should have been named "American Taxpayer", cause that is who just picked up the tab for it.

Incredibly enough, the radical Latinos who want to take back the land "stolen" from Mexico do not seem to understand that without the magical American taxpayer, it would be yet another corrupt, run down, dirty extension of Mexico. No freebies, no welfare, no Medicaid, no Social Security, no discounted college tuition, no ESL classes, no free access to nice, clean hospitals, no big businesses, no profit sharing from natural resources like the oil in Mexico. Rich getting richer, and poor getting nothing.

Your story is a great one, right up to the above statement.

Sorry, didn't mean to bring you down, just heard the end of an empire approaching and wanted to point that out for the record and posterity's sake.
