Or prehaps, let anchor babies gain citizenship AFTER (and if) the parent obtains it, but the anchor baby does expedite the parents chance of gaining citizenship (not automatic.  Doesnt american citizenship require criteria be met, etc?).

Ah interesting. My understanding of anchor babies were more that illegal parents come in, drop a squad, pop a load, and the baby's citizenship keeps the parents in the country.  In all truth, if it works as presented above, I dont see anchor babies  being as much of an issue.  BUT then again we dont face that issue up here... Only had a few americans illiegally immigrate to Canada.  and we deported all of them.

Dont ever take anything thompsonx says at face value. Your understanding of what happens in the real world is correct. While tx may be technically correct, parents of anchor babies are rarely deported BECAUSE of the citizenship of the child.

Thats probably correct, but our policy of nonenforcement makes the legal mumbojumbo, as they say in court, moot.

Sen. Linsey Graham (Rino-SC) said the other night that he was going to snonsor an Amendment to end birthright citienship. When a mealymouthed pusillanimous rino like Graham is on the warpath... Houston, we have a problem. Or,in this case, the open-borders crowd does.

My commute to work is long fifty miles but it gives me time to reflect. It is 1987 and I am an obstetrical nurse working in the crowded San Fernando Valley. Tonight I drive to my job in “Labor and Delivery,” knowing the scenario before I arrive. Eight labor and delivery nurses will battle through the night in this very busy obstetrical unit. Our patients are 99% pregnant illegal alien women who have broken United States immigration law to have an American citizen child.

This will be their families’ ticket of entry into the United States. For them, no pesky visa applications, no waiting in line for several years like so many thousands that enter this country through the front door. Pregnant Third World women have discovered that the only thing they have to do is cross the U.S./Mexico border. The Fourteenth Amendment is their ticket.

It is now seventeen years later and things have worsened. The babies I helped deliver are older teenagers. When they turn 21, they will be eligible to bring their family members from Mexico and Central America, i.e., chain migration on an ever-accelerating spinning wheel. Whole industries have now developed around abusing the Fourteenth Amendment.

Pregnant Korean tourists come to the U.S. on travel Visas to have their "anchor" babies. Coyotes dealing in human traffic are paid $1,500.00 to $25,000.00 per person to shuttle pregnant illegal aliens across our southern border. Our politicians and elites wink at this blatant law breaking and do nothing. The colonization of our country continues with the cooperation of our government. None dare call it treason.

The Fourteenth Amendment: It's a simple document, a constitutional amendment drafted after the Civil War to assure that newly emancipated black slaves would never be denied citizenship by the States. The drafters had no idea that years later it would be used to make a mockery of our immigration laws. Alan Wall, an American journalist living in Mexico states, "An illegal alien can cross the border, have a baby five minutes later, and that baby is automatically declared a citizen of the USA automatically!

The illegal aliens don't have to go through any legal doors. They are exempt from all that. They are, in fact, rewarded for disobeying U.S. laws by having their children granted automatic citizenship. In addition, the happy family is entitled to welfare benefits. And, illegal alien parents who have children born in the U.S. are seldom deported . That's why their children are called "anchor babies" - they anchor their families securely in the USA.

OK, now, lets get a fucking head count before we go any further here, so we know what we are dealing with.

How many of you folks are unemployed?  How many of you are loading your cars for az to get a job mowing lawns and trimming cacti, or are heading out to watsonville to cut lettuce?

Why not listen to those who are in the trenches?

quote:

The whole U.S.-Mexico border could be sealed with as few as 100 helicopters equipped with FLIR (forward looking infrared) scopes, and a few hundred men equipped with state of the art sensors, scopes and other electronics. There are those who would argue that this is a violation of Posse Comitatus. That's ridiculous. Posse Comitatus prohibits the use of troops for domestic law enforcement. Border security is not domestic law enforcement. It is protecting our nation from foreign intruders. Besides, Posse Comitatus was passed in 1878, yet the U.S. Cavalry continued to patrol the U.S. Mexico Border until 1924. If Congress intended Posse Comitatus to prevent the military from securing our nation, the cavalry wouldn't have continued on the border for another 46 years. I once brought up that fact to U.S. Representative Jim Kolbe at a Town Hall meeting in which he stated that Posse Comitatus prevented the U.S. Military from securing our border. Jim Kolbe reacted with a look on his face like he had been photographed in a compromising position in a gay bath house. He has never again used Posse Comitatus as an excuse not to use the military on the border.
