[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

We did it on purpose. The exploited underclass of people created by illegal immigration is the engine that powers our economy. Send them all home, entire industries would collapse. Prices would skyrocket. Neither party is serious about fixing immigration because their corporate donors do not want them to. When will people wake up?

Want to stop them from coming? Go after the people who exploit/employ them under the table. Remove the incentives to come here, and they'll stop coming. But we're not going to do that because we benefit from them being here, just as much as we benefit from keeping them on the edges of society where they can be easily exploited for under the table wages Americans would never accept.

No one wants to talk about how expensive their produce would get, or how expensive food service would get, or who would clean their houses or watch their babies or cut their grass for cheap if we cut off illegal immigration. They just want to hate these people who have done the best they can to survive a shitty lot in life. [/quote]

You nail this issue. And I appreciate the fact that you point out that these illegal immigrants are exploited because they absolutely are. It’s underground slave labor for cheap and actually disgusting. The fact that Democrats claim we need this abusive slave labor system where they also mooch off the American tax payer is vile.

That said, the new arrivals don’t belong here and need to go home. [b]The knew immigrants taking over Manhattan[/b] and overwhelmingly destroying small towns they are flown into in the middle of the nightacross America, get them ALL out of here.  These young men ,many of them criminals , need to go home.

More established contributing immigrants need a solid pathway to citizenship so they can fully acclimate to society and quit living underground in the shadows. They deserve dignity. There are more than enough established illegal immigrants to keep industries afloat during the border sealing transition. Meanwhile we clamp down on new the new agggrssive freelloaders of the past five years and fly them out on day one. No more catch and release.  Catch and immediately deport is the only way forward.

As opposed to the old immigrants taking over Manhattan that were hated then - you know, the Italians, the Irish, the Puerto Ricans. LOL[/quote]
