In the meantime the Mexican cuckoo continues to lay its eggs in our nest, and we continue to raise them. Mexicans may not know the first thing about our laws (or care) but they do know that if they can get a `mamacita’ across the border to drop her baby, los locos gringos will take her ninos in and raise them.
T. Paine would say, I think, that it is nonsensical to cling to `law’ that does us harm; of course we all know this . . . all Americans do, all but our leaders, including the two candidates for president.
And lets get something else out in the open - while we tend to focus on Mexicans and their anchor babies because Hispanics, primarily from Mexico, make up the largest number of illegal immigrants and “anchor babies”, people come from all over the world to have babies here for the same reason - automatic citizenship for their offspring, and an anchor to keep them here as well.
We tend to come across as racist when we focus on one particular group. And while the problem may primarily be with hispanic/Mexican anchor babies, there are many Asian, African, Middle Eastern, and so on who also come here for the same benefits.
All of it needs to be shut down.
