Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to consider a person born in the United States "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States for citizenship at birth purposes if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is: (1) a U.S. citizen or national; (2) a lawful permanent resident alien whose residence is in the United States; or (3) an alien performing active service in the armed forces.
I think you’re referring to Tancredo. Paul served in the Air Force.
Wrong. Children born overseas to servicemen are eligible.
It will happen if we bring enough attention to it. Many people have no idea that anchor babies from aliens are citizens. It’s quite unbelievable actually.
Since when?
Bump.
Ping.
Hey milford421!
Just saw a ping to you and thought I’d say “hey.”
Long time no talk.
VETO? Oh really? Bush was too WEAK to pick up a VETO pen with so many spending bills. Oh, I forgot, Bush is a puppet of Mexico City.
Just say NO to Illegal Alien Amnesty!! Keep calling!! It’s NOT OVER!!

Just one addition would be nice, MAKE IT RETROACTIVE.
How would you do that? You would need to look at every baby birth certificate and then match with a parent and prove that it was real and even belonged to the parent. WHATAMESS!
The anchor baby rule kills me, and hospitals know how to work the system beautifully. A pregnant illegal shows up at the hospital in labor. The hospital CAN NOT deny this woman treatment, and the hospital stands to lose lots of money, because this lady has no chance in hell of paying.
They get her baby delivered and have social workers on staff to get the lady signed up for Medicaid, which will cover the entire thing since both the woman and baby are now LEGAL citizens of the United States. My wife is a registered nurse in the OB department at our local hospital, and she says it happens all the time.
We are a small community. If it tells you anything, 45% of all babies born at our hospital last year were of Latinos. 85% of that 45% were on Medicaid. Who knows what percentage of those were in the exact situation I mentioned above.
We have seen nothing but the worst end of the decisions and neglect from DC in the last 15 years or so. We have empty, shut down factories just about everywhere you look and double digit unemployment because of our trade policies, we are beginning to see MS13 graffiti on buildings, and when I go out shopping I often wonder what country I’m in anymore. There are many stores here that have signs that don’t read any English, and there are as many places that are in business to wire money to Latin America as there are banks. I grew up here, and it isn’t the same as it was just 15 years ago. It’s very sad to see, and I am NOT exaggerating this situation in the least. I really could say more.
Precisely, March 26, 1790. There has never been a question of the legality of this one. Now, for a sticky legal question: Are children born abroad but adopted by American parents eligible? Now that’s truly a legal can of worms.
And yet during the early 1970’s when I was stationed overseas, children born to American parents were in the situation I just described...
Darn, it would have been fun to be there for that! Thanks for the head’s up though!
If they are under your jurisdiction, then they can be drafted into the military and/or be compelled to serve jury duty. Can a foreign national/illegal alien be drafted?, serve on a jury?
Who must register? (See website for complete chart)
Permanent resident aliens
Special (seasonal) agricultural workers (I-688)
Refugee, parolee, and asylee aliens
Undocumented (illegal) aliens
Dual national U.S. citizens
I hope you find this illuminating. Thank you for reminding me of additional evidence that illegal aliens are nevertheless under the jurisdiction of the United States.
As an additional followup on your question, aliens(illegal or not) are not considered “peers” (as in jury of your peers) and hence are not liable for jury duty. But they still are liable for the draft.
Oh how the Liberals howl on the few occasions that a few Illegals trying to cross the border are forced to turn back into Mexico. Can’t you just hear the outrage if a pregnant gal is forced to turn back and have her baby on the south side of the Rio Grande Oh the outrage of it! I can hear it now, “That baby by all rights should be an American citizen. It wasn’t the poor mother’s fault that those mean Border Patrol agents wouldn’t let her enter.” (And shame on any BP agents who actually pick them up at the border and take the anchor droppers to the hospital.)
I don't want a foreign national or illegal alien on a jury judging me. They all have alien "thought processes" about law and justice.
Amazing stastic....I didn't know it was that high!
