[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an age when traveling to/from the United States was a major ordeal and impediment to abuse, perhaps birthright citizenship made sense.

The majority of the country does not believe that hopping on a flight from Beijing to Los Angeles, or driving across the border, while pregnant so you can get automatic "birthright" citizenship for your child, is a rational policy.

Citizenship bestows privileged and why should they be given to just anyone whose parents just show up here to give birth?[/quote]

Let’s flip it.

Given the lack of borders, processes and enforcement of the immigration laws, coupled with the hospitality and freebies of free ER care, schooling, NGo donated food & clothes, and anchor baby welfare benefits….

…. WHY WOULDN’T YOU ILLEGALLY COME HERE?  and have a bunch of kids in order to stay indefinitely

Nothing is stopping you, in fact everything is encouraging you. Silence signals agreement.

Why wouldn’t a developing country person traipse through Central America or fly to Mexico City and sneak in or do the loony 5 year catch & release phony asylum play?

Or always birth babies here for the call option of using the anchor baby for America’s education, military, welfare systems, and protection? The kid can show up with anyone to any American embassy in the world and get help.

Why wouldn’t you illegally come here?

Plus instead of $2/hour in Honduras, you can make $8/hour cash! Wow! [/quote]

I don't personally blame any foreign citizen who came here unlawfully -- we're the stupid ones who've created this mess. But nonetheless, they are foreign citizens and they will need to return to their home countries.[/quote]

Exactly! We set this up and don’t enforce what old laws we even have in place.

Have to say the illegals all sitting on corners in Manhattan are really getting aggressive [/quote]
