Yes, remember it well. The open border bayourods are still out there, they’re waiting for economy to improve and then they’ll start telling us how once again we need open borders and a flood of cheap, unlimited labor or the country will collapse. It’s bad enough we’ve got to fight the liberals on these issues.

Of course children of illegal aliens should not be granted citizenship.

Great post !

When does an anchor baby become a citizen? It seems to me they become citizens when they hand over their birth certificate to go to school, register to vote, get a driver’s license, or apply for a paassport.

It is the issuance of a State birth certificate that empowers them to claim citizenship. The birth certifcate is issued by the State. The State bureau of vital statistics is charged with the orderly and timely registrations of births. That doesn’t mean the child should be issued one. By issuing birth certificates, the States are in effect granting citizenship and they do not have that authority. One of the above posts stated that no case has been brought to challenge illegal alien babies becoming citizens. Why not?

If we wait for Congress to amend the Constitution or write a new law, we will be dead by time that happens.

I suggest that taxpayers sue their State for issuing birth certificates to babies of illegal aliens. Upon prevailing, the federal government will sue the State. I opine the federal government will not have standing. Issuing bc are a function of the State (at the moment), not the federal government.

No birth certificate, no citizenship, technically.

Then the aclu will sue the State on behalf of an illegal baby and it will go to the Supreme Court. But in the mean time, they will not have a birth certificate and that would be faster than waiting for hell to freeze over.

It will be necessary for one to determine if the Governor and the AG are friendlies. If they are and if they are not up for re-election (with a large hispanic pop) and if your State is not in the spotlight right now, this is doable.

What do you think? Are we going to wait for Congress or are we going to go after the Feds for breaking the law via the States for a change? Time is of the essence.

I’ve been thinking about all the birther stuff. From the 0bama issue to this morning the anchor baby issue.

Can an anchor baby be President? Born in America to non-American parents here illegally?

Is the 0bama birth certificate issue, actually bigger than just the Office of the President?

If 0bama is found to be ineligible due to dual citizenships etc. (United States-Mom, Britain-Dad, and Indonesia-Legal Step Father), truly...how does that affect immigration and the anchor baby issue?

Why are they trying to keep it all under wraps? Maybe it is not just the Office of the President, but what the ramifications that result from it extending to the anchor baby issue.
