[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am against it and always have been. Children born to legal immigrants is acceptable even if they don't become American citizens.

But the issues that come from the so called 'anchor babies' cannot be solved under the current law unless an interpretation of the 14th amendment "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside." is done. My belief is that it does not address illegal immigrants and that the amendment went more to the issue of naturalizing former slaves.[/quote]

Anchor babies are a myth. You can't use a US citizen child as a defense in an immigration deportation proceeding.   This week, SCOTUS told Obama that he couldn't delay deportation proceedings for parents of US born children.  It doesn't work.

This gives the child a US passport, but does nothing for the child's parents. [/quote]

Adding, a US born child can't even apply for a green card for his/her parents until the child is 21.

There is no such thing as an "anchor baby."[/quote]

Get your facts straight. You need to spend some time on the U.S.--Mexican border to realize how out of touch you are with the reality of [i]La Frontera[/i] life :wink: Yes, there is such a thing. Yes, the parents are here illegally. Yes, the children receive public aid, and whole families subsist on it.

BTW, pregnant women are eligible for MedicAid, so few, very few actually pay for the services rendered. [/quote]
