The illegal immigration issue now boiling up as an overarching president and a Democrat Congress tackle the prospect of giving amnesty to 20 million illegal immigrants is merely a thinly veiled attempt register new Democrats for the 2010 and especially 2012 elections.
Granting illegals amnesty is thought to be the way the liberal left will assure their ascendancy to an American socialist dictatorship.
Anchor baby chain
One correction ignored for decades is ending the anchor baby chain migration by which pregnant women come to America to deliver babies who automatically receive America citizenship. This then allows these babies to be the “anchors” for many extended family members to enter our country.
Immigration raids that send illegal immigrant parents home to many other countries enrage everyone on all sides of the immigration debate when legally born children are left in the U.S. The operative words here are “legally born.” Ending this practice would bring immediate benefits.
Birth tourism
A recent article in the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet Daily News reports that Turkish parents increasingly are paying huge sums to bring pregnant women into American shores to deliver. Birth tourism is a growing source of travel company income, costing from a minimum of $25,000 to as much as $45,000 for a Manhattan birth trip.
"They come to this country and have babies. . the children are citizens eligible to go to school, receive food stamps and social programs. . the American taxpayers are paying for it," says Republican Congressman Gary Miller. He's trying to get a bill passed in Congress to stop birthright citizenship for babies born here to illegal immigrant parents.
While Latinos coming across our Southern border primarily, make up the biggest group of anchor birth babies , birth tourism from South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan is rising.

The immediate need an end the “anchor baby” hole in our illegal alien shield, enough is enough!!
Live in LA
and hear them brag about this
brag about our stupidity, and laugh
and then you’ll say
The immediate need -———an end the “anchor baby” hole in our illegal alien shield, enough is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It’s time to end this baby anchor thing once and for all.
There are 400,000 anchor babies born each year in the US.
It’s too late. Hispanics have assumed majority control of many city councils in cities with heavy hispanic populations and they clearly vote for what is best for their race, not our country.
“There are 400,000 anchor babies born each year in the US.”
And about that many turning 18 every year and VOTING = democrat.
Relive the Nightmare!!

What requirement would you base American citizenship on if not this? I think that everyone born on American soil is in fact an American. As American as you or I. I do not believe that this should bestow any rights upon the parents though. My view is, the baby stays, they HAVE to go. If they do decide to leave they have the right to take the baby with them if they renounce the baby’s citizenship forever.
The silliest anchor baby case that I’ve ever read about occurred just a few years ago. A South American woman flying on an airliner bound for the United States gave birth to a baby (What the hell was she doing on that plane?) “shortly after” the airliner entered U.S. airspace. Viola!!! Another “American citizen”! Ummm. Houston. We’ve got a problem.
The law is actually fairly clear on the subject (as was the Congressional debate at its passing) yet lawyers have argued it into a legal pretzel. And even FReepers fall for hollow reasoning...
“Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”
Senator Jacob Howard,
co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.
>>And about that many turning 18 every year and VOTING = democrat.
They might vote democrat at age 18, but by age 20 most of them aren’t eligible to vote anymore. Extending voting rights to career felons is another item on the Dems’ Destroy America checklist.
.
And repeal it retroactively. No anchor babies after 1980!
Title 8 and the 14th Amendment both state; All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
So explain how “not merely subjct in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiange.”
Immigration and Citizenship: Process and Policy fourth edition
Under Jus Soli, the following is written “The Supreme Court’s first holding on the sublect suggested that the court would give a restrictive reading to the phrase, potentially disqualifing significant number of persons born within the physical boundries of the nation. In Elk v. Wilkins 112 U.S. 94, 5 S.CT. 41, 28 L.ED. 643 (1884), the court ruled that native Indians were not U.S. citizens, even if they later severed their ties with their tribes. The words “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” the court held, mean “not merely subjct in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction, and owing them direct and immediate allegiange.” Most Indians could not meet the test. “Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States, members of, and owing immediate allegiance to, one of the Indian Tribes, (an alien through dependent power,) although in a geographical sense born in the United States, are no more ‘born in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’*** then the children of subjects of any foreign government born within the domain of that government ***. Id. at 102.
It continues that Congress eventually passed legislation with the ‘Allotment Act of 1887, that conferred citizenship on many Indians.
Retroactively.
You obviously did not read what I said very well. I said that should a child be born here he is a citizen, not his parents and they could not stay because of the child. If a child is born on American soil to parents who are legally residing here, yes, I believe the child is a citizen. A child born to foreigners here on holiday legally, yes, but that does not influence the status of their parents. The parents should not use the fact that their child is born here to further their own cause.
Your solution to expel the parents and let them keep their kids only if the kids renounce their citizenship is ridiculous and inhumane.
Immigration Quote of the Week: White House Press Secretary
Saturday April 3, 2010
Q: Robert, on immigration reform, Senator Graham, the other day, said, that the White House has done almost nothing. I’m wondering what your response is to that, and if there’s anything that you plan to do to show a seriousness of purpose on immigration.
MR. GIBBS: Well, I, not surprisingly, would likely disagree with that characterization. I think the President has been a strong advocate and proponent of immigration reform...But this can’t just be a — this can’t just be President Obama. This can’t just be President Obama and the Democratic Senate. Quite frankly, it probably can’t just be President Obama, the Democratic Senate, and Lindsay Graham. It has to be others. And I think many will get an opportunity to weigh in on that.
Q: Is there any chance that the White House is going to write a bill?
MR. GIBBS: I think we put out a strong statement in support of many of the aspects of the legislation that Senator Graham is working on with Senator Schumer. I think they’re still going through a full evaluative process of that. But obviously many aspects of that the President finds greatly appealing.
“Your solution to expel the parents and let them keep their kids only if the kids renounce their citizenship is ridiculous and inhumane.”
It’s a better solution than what we have now. How is it ‘inhumane’? They can take their little jackpot babies home with them or leave them here.
