anchor babies WERE ended.
This is why the "dream act" was cobbled together. It was a failed attempt to bring back the anchor babies.
What happened is they now use undo or medical hardship (the child isADHD or some nonsense) in order to keep here. The lawyers have made out fine.
It is not enough to eliminate the anchor baby, YOU MUST ELIMINATE THE WORK AROUNDS DEVELOPED BY LAWYERS TO BYPASS the previous elimination.
I think you are confused. The DREAM Act is aimed at the children of illegals that were born ELSEWHERE and smuggled in as minors and educated at the expense of American taxpayers. They essentially stole their K-12 education from our children. The DREAM Act would give them the right to steal even more taxpayer dollars in the form of subsidized college education. It also gives them a PATH TO CITIZENSHIP if they get a college education or I think maybe also if the serve in the military.
In contrast, the practice of illegal aliens having anchor babies on American soil is very much alive and has never been ended. These babies are born as American citizens and have all rights of American citizens including the full buffet of welfare benefits which their illegal parents immediately sign them up for. They are a food-stamp meal ticket for the whole illegal family. Because these anchor babies were born on our soil, current misguided law already gives them all rights that the DREAM Act is trying to give to the children of illegals that were born elsewhere and smuggled in.
