(IANS) One of about every 12 babies born in the United States in 2008 was the offspring of illegal immigrants, says a new study sharpening a debate over a law that automatically makes them US citizens.

An estimated 340,000 of the 4.3 million babies born in the US in 2008 had parents who were in the country without legal documentation, a Pew Hispanic Centre study released on Wednesday concluded.

The study did not give a country-wise break up, but according to official figures there are some 200,000 Indians among over 11 million illegal foreign residents in the US, making them the sixth largest source for unauthorised immigrants with Mexico with 6.7 million (62 per cent) at the top.

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution provides for citizenship by birth but some members of Congress are pushing to change that provision. That effort-rooted in the debate over illegal immigration, particularly of people from Mexico-has created some controversy.

However, a sister prevents depression more than a brother because girls are better at listening to problems of others and are more likely to take on a caring role, say the scientists.

The study of 400 families also established that sibling affection plays a bigger influence than parenting, the Daily Express reported.

Lead scientist Laura Padilla-Walker of Brigham Young University was quoted as saying, "Siblings matter more than parents in terms of being kind to others and being generous.
