The Washington politicians are getting what they want — voters that aren’t unhappy with them and who don’t give a rip about the Constitution.

amazing. jump the fence, have your baby, and voila.. you can’t be sent home.

This is why we need Comprehensive Deportation Reform.

In 25 years, the Republicans will be lucky to have 35 seats in Senate. That is the practical reality. And, if the Democrats manage to get their coveted "pathway to citizenship" enacted, it will be worse - way worse.

Might want to think about carving up the country. Demographically it's no longer sustainable, and economically it's no longer sustainable.

If this is the left’s strategy, then our response should be to have as many children as we can possibly afford. At least until the left limits us to one.

According to CNN

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that those children automatically become U.S. citizens

Yep, its right next to the abortion, only cops and military can own weapons, and separation of church and state amendments.

[SunkenCiv]

One of about every 12 babies born in the United States in 2008 was the offspring of unauthorized immigrants

for "unauthorized immigrants" read "illegal aliens" and add "who should be deported along with their newborns".

[HiJinx]

Ping!

Okay, now this is getting ridiculous - various sources are saying that based on this study, one in 8, 10, 12, or 15 babies is born to an illegal parent.

No wonder they think there are still only 10-11 million illegals in the country...

[PghBaldy]

The 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that those children automatically become U.S. citizens, It actually says the opposite. Only people born of citizens are citizens.

Part of the problem is that American citizens aren’t having babies.

Now we know 8% are illegal-born. How many were born to legal immigrants?

This study was released by Pew Hispanic center. They are likely under counting. But lets assume it's correct. Left, corporations, and usefuly idiot libertarians claim there are only 12 million illegals. That is 4% of the population. This means that they have double the native birthrate. That's what, 4 anchor babies per illegal alien woman?

Still unsustainable. Howver, I think the trye figures are 20 million illegals and 12%+ for anchor babies.

The Goths have crossed the Danube. If we do not expell them, Adrianople and the fall await.

[citizenredstater9271]

Mexofascism at its greatest. Illegal mexicans pour into America as part of the reconquista then have babies to avoid being deported. And whos supposed to pay for all these anchor babies? Where in the Constitution does it say illegals can stay if they have babies in America? Who is John Galt?

“More than three-fourths of all unauthorized immigrants in the United States in March 2009 were Latinos, the researcher said. And nearly one of every four children under age 18 in the nation was a Hispanic.
That trend is likely to continue, the study concludes.
“Overall, Hispanics who live in the U.S. have higher rates of fertility than do whites, blacks or Asians,” the report states. “And among Hispanics, the foreign born have higher rates of fertility than the native born.””

This is why the Republican party is in trouble in the long term. These people will most likely go for those who promise them the most goodies. Hispanics are a friendly demographic for Democrats and there is no reason to suspect that that’ll change.

“The 14th Amendment to the Constitution stipulates that those children automatically become U.S. citizens . . .”

No. It stipulates that citizens born to parents under the jurisdiction of the US are citizens. Some would argue that illegal immigrants are not under the jurisdiction.

[ROCKLOBSTER]

Report: 8 percent of U.S. newborns have undocumented parents

That means they have no parents. They should be taken by the DHHS and placed in foster homes.

The illegal invaders should be spirited back across the border.
