Completely agree.

At least one parent should BE a citizen. That's "BE" as in "IS". Not "in the process" or "thinking about it" or any of the other states of limbo Illegals use in perpetuity to gain access to our system of benefits.

Border Patrol agents deliver baby in truck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- A pregnant Mexican woman who got caught after crossing illegally into the United States gave birth in the back of a Border Patrol agent's vehicle.

The baby is an American citizen because she was born on U.S. soil. But her fate, and that of her mother, are still uncertain. The girl was born 2 1/2 months prematurely and weighed less than 2 pounds.

She was named Sarai Marisol in honor of Marisol Cantu, one of the agents who found her mother.

The woman told authorities she had crossed the border with a group led by a smuggler but was abandoned because she could not keep up. She had been walking for five or six days when she became exhausted, said Alejandro Lopez Bajo with the Mexican Consulate in Laredo.

She was in labor Sunday when three Border Patrol agents found her on the side of the road near the border city of Laredo. Minutes later, the agents delivered the tiny infant in the back of a Border Patrol sport utility vehicle.

"I've never seen anyone that far along in the brush," said Agent Jerry Doyal, a former hospital corpsman in the Navy who pinched the umbilical cord with his fingers.

The baby was at a Corpus Christi hospital with her mother.

The mother can either take her baby home or make a plea to remain in this country. U.S. immigration authorities sometimes go easier on mothers of infants.

#243 - ILLEGAL (VERY PREGNANT) MIGRANT ABANDONED AND LEFT TO FEND FOR HERSELF IN 'NO-MAN'S LAND' BY HER 'FRIENDS' WHILE CROSSING THE BORDER - ping.

========================================

A pregnant Mexican woman who got caught after crossing illegally into the United States gave birth in the back of a Border Patrol agent's vehicle.

========================================

All: This real example passed on by another FReeper is how this woman would have been handled if she had been an American in an illegal status inside Mexico at the time of her child's birth . .

=========================================

"Having been born in Mexico, my sons also have Mexican birth certificates. These birth certificates were issued to my wife and myself by a Mexican registrar. But since I was a foreigner, the registrar required me to show her my Mexican work permit in order to process the paperwork."

"I had to prove I was in Mexico legally for my son to have a birth certificate!"

"When my son was born (in Mexico) this process hit a hitch. My work permit was being renewed for the year, so it was temporarily out of my possession. The registrar would not issue the birth certificate until I had showed her my work permit. So it took us several more weeks to obtain it."

"Can you imagine what would happen in the United States if they refused a birth certificate to the child of an illegal alien?"

"The U.S. Constitution has been twisted to justify the automatic birth citizenship of children of illegal aliens."

"The Mexican constitution (Capitulo II, Articulo 30) actually stipulates that any baby born in Mexican territory, regardless of parentage, is Mexican. But apparently they’ve found a way around that—refusing to issue birth certificates if one or both parents is not in the country legally! How very clever!

Say it with me, "sub-ject to the law". See I knew you could.

The wordng of the Fourteenth Amendment is actually ".. subject to the jurisdiction.." In legal parlance "sub-ject to the law" and "subject to the jurisdiction" refer to completely different concepts. This is why Native Americans did not become citizens under the Fourteenth Amendment (this was changed by another law in 1924). This error crept in in Post 192 as far as I can tell.

Such a nonsense Bill to prevent "anchor babies" will get nowhere in Congress; it is only dung.

Ya'll want to stop "anchor babies"? Too damned bad, it ain't going to happen mates. And good it shouldn't.

A "Constitutional Amendment", ratified by the States, is in order.

Until then the "14th" is the "14th". To bad, so sad, T.S.

Of course there is probably some scum fanatic supremicschit types who would not even want a child to be a Citizen of these United States if one parent is not yet a Citizen but the other is a Citizen. Damned dung for brain types.

To my knowledge, Costa Rica, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Panama, and Colombia all grant citizenship to those born within their borders to foreign nationals.

COSTA RICA - Citizenship law is based upon the Constitution of Costa Rica. BY BIRTH: Child born within the territory of Costa Rica, regardless of the nationality of the parents.

BRAZIL - Brazilian citizenship is regulated by Law #818 of September 18, 1949, amended by Decree Law #961 of October 13, 1969, and Constitutional Amendment #3 of June 6, 1994. BY BIRTH: Child born in Brazil regardless of the nationality of the parents.

URUGUAY - Citizenship laws are based upon the Constitution of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay. BY BIRTH: Child born within the Republic of Uruguay, regardless of the nationality of the parents. Uruguayan law refers to this as “natural” citizenship.

ARGENTINA - Argentine citizenship is based upon Argentine Citizenship Law #346. BY BIRTH: Child born in Argentina, except to accredited ministers of foreign powers. Child born in Argentine legations or on Argentine warships. Child born in neutral waters on ships flying the Argentine flag.

CHILE - Information concerning the basis for Chilean citizenship law was not provided. BY BIRTH: Child born in the territory of Chile, regardless of the nationality of the parents. The exceptions are children of foreign diplomats or of transient foreigners.

VENEZUELA - Citizenship Laws are based upon the Constitution of Venezuela. BY BIRTH: Child born within the territory of the Republic of Venezuela regardless of the nationality of the parents.

PANAMA - Citizenship regulations are outlined in the Panamanian Constitution. BY BIRTH: Child born within the territory of the Republic of Panama, regardless of the nationality of the parents.

COLOMBIA - Citizenship is based upon the Constitution of Colombia, dated July 1991, and Citizenship Law No.43, dated February 1, 1993. BY BIRTH: Birth within the territory of Colombia does not automatically confer citizenship.

Personally, I like the Chilean law.

We must modify and adapt our immigration law or else our government will not be able to absorb the mass influx of illegal aliens. Disaster is what we are asking for if it is not changed to reflect the reality of this crisis.

(BTW: Mexico guards her Souther Border with ferocious tenacity. It's wide-open Norther Border with the United States has now become Mexico's lifeline for survival.)

Thanks M.I. for your usual solid contributions . .

===========================

CHILE - Information concerning the basis for Chilean citizenship law was not provided. BY BIRTH: Child born in the territory of Chile, regardless of the nationality of the parents. The exceptions are children of foreign diplomats or of transient foreigners.

If the Amendment can be read to exclude Native Americans, then it can be read to exclude illegals. If Congress can change the status if the children of Native Americans, then it can change the status of the children of illegals.

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 is clear evidence that Congress, based on the jurisdiction clause can exclude children of illegals from automatic citizenship. It's not a matter of whether Congress has the authority, they do, it's about having the will to pass the legislation.

EVERY American citizen should be the fruit of a LEGAL American citizen. Only children of people who came here legally should ever be granted citizenship rights. That's common sense. You take the oath, you get in. You don't, you don't.

Let me be clear: I favor LEGAL immigration, and would have no problem expanding SOME of our legal quotas; and

I OPPOSED ALL ILLEGAL immigration, and have no problem doing whatever it takes, on both the supply and demand side, to end illegals.

I favor ENGLISH ONLY in classrooms and public places. I love immigrants: this is a nation built on immigrants, including fine Mexican immigrants---but they assimilated (more slowly in the past than now, but the technology now means they should assimilate even faster than they do).

I like Tom T, and think he made a stupid comment about Mecca---that only hurt us. But his immigration proposals are pretty much on target.
