Again, I ask, Is it Natural for the child of a foreigner, born in a foreign land not to be considered to have the same citizenship as the parents? Should a country be stealing the citizenship of another country’s children? Americans who give birth abroad would not stand for it. There children born abroad are American citizens. Why we do not allow children of foreigners born in American, abroad from their homeland, to be considered born in USA, yet a citizen of the country(countries) of their parents is beyond me. It is wrong. It is kind of like baby snatching. The U.S. steals the citizenship of foreigners born abroad in the US.
Yes it is natural for a child to be of the same citizenship as the parents. It makes no sense whatsoever otherwise. Anytime we've traveled outside the US, travel documents to the country or island we've visited have had provisions specifically addressing the duration of the trip and language about the temporary nature of the visit.
By marginalizing American sovereignty, those in government intent on a globalist vision for America's future are ignoring the basic tenets set forth in the Constitution and depreciating citizenship as if it were a prize in a cracker jacks box that everyone gets for the lowest price. Citizenship in America should be highly valued and not handed out because someone chose to have their child on US soil when their own citizenship and loyalties are elsewhere.
If we’re going to change the principle that children born on American soil are entitled to American citizenship with very few exceptions (basically foreign diplomats and foreign military personnel sent here on official business by their governments), it would change American immigration law dating back at least to the late 1800s and probably earlier. It may require a change in the Constitution.
Chinese “anchor babies” are nothing new. This was happening a century ago on the West Coast and was part of the reason for the Chinese Exclusion Act, which also excluded almost anyone else of Asian ancestry. I think virtually everybody today would agree the Chinese Exclusion Act was little more than anti-Asian bigotry, and there was no legitimate purpose for it. Let’s just say that while there are bad people in all races, Asians as a whole, by any demographic standards, are far from being a seriously problematic ethnic group.
I wish the worst thing we had to worry about was wealthy pregnant Chinese women coming to the United States so their children could become American citizens and allow them to flee China if their country returns to its Maoist past. I’d take several million of those women, plus their families, if we could send an equal number of our Maoist Democrats over to China as a fair trade.
