Will gets it wrong. There are no anchor babies under current law. In 1996 they eliminated that. Custody follows the parents not the child.
Thus the US citizen child goes with the deported parents and may return when it is 18.
In addition the US citizens child has to live the in the USA for TEN YEARS to have its offspring claim us citizenship.
But George will should stick to writting badly about baseball. (efete elite DC strikes again)
Will doesn't use the phrase "anchor babies", I did. And, it wasn't in the context of a dependent child's citizenship status acting as legal "anchor" for their illegal parents. But rather, it was used just as a turn of phrase to describe the current situation as it pertains to "birthright citizenship" with respect to children of aliens, legal or otherwise.
