We do need to end the practice of anchor babies. The INS should start at the housing projects in the SW and many other places where they'll find many many people (100% of many projects) not speaking a word of English. They aren't teaching their children anything about the US including the language ----they could deport the population of entire large housing projects because many of these people have not assimilated at all into America.

I'm moderate on this issue though because with those few cases where the family is speaking English and has obeyed every other law including our laws on auto insurance, never used a social handout service, and the kids are comfortable in American society but would be aliens in Mexico, I'm for letting them stay.

Would they have to admit to their crime, and have it go on their record? What would be their restitution? If we had a program like this, how much should it cost them?

$25,000?

Should they be permanently disqualified from citizenship, voting, and unearned subsidies out of taxpayer pockets?

Would there be any constitutional problem with a statute stating that illegal aliens who give birth in this country should be deported and never allowed to return except under very narrow circumstances? The children would be citizens per Amendment 14 (whether or not that was the intention, it certainly reads that way) but any time they wish to spend with their parents would have to be outside the country.

Sounds legal [sure]. Sound politically feasible [not in a million years].
