anchor baby DOES NOT MEAN BIRTHRIGHT CITIZEN.

This is a very important distinction.

It USED to be that the citizenship created an anchor but in 1996 the Republicans pushed through an immigration reform which eliminated the anchor baby from citizenship. Custody followed the ADULTS not the child. thus, the child went home with the deported parents regardless of citizenship.

The Dream Act AMNESTY bill is an attempt to make ALL public school children into so called anchor babies regardless of citizenship. Essentially Sen. Durbin was making two years of public school all that was required to become an anchor baby. (and his anchor babies could have been as old as 30!!)

Even under post 1996 rules, immigration lawyers were making up all forms of “special medical needs” arguments to create a reason for a family to stay based on a child.

Just remember.

Birthright citizenship does NOT mean anchor baby for serial immigration.

Custody follows the parents and a minor, REGARDLESS OF CITIZENSHIP, goes home with the parents.

But seriously, gotta link or two? Thanks!
