“The American project is so strong, our culture is so strong, our values are so strong, that any baby born on our soil...”
It is hard to conceive of anyone being that stupid, with France and the rest of Europe being disassembled by immigrants. A nation can take in only so many immigrants and still retain its identity. The goal of the immigration policy promoted by Republicans and democrats is to destroy our identity and culture. Most Americans disagree mightily with that, which explains Trump.
Birthright Citizenship is the new cool cliche for Anchor Babies. We are about to see the Marxist Media go both barrels on this term.
Pray America is waking
Canada got rid of their birthright citizenship, making the US the ONLY developed nation to have it.
Mexico’s immigration laws are stricter than the harshest Republican plan, from citizen’s arrest of suspected illegals to visitors getting deported for participating in political rallies to inability of foreigners to own land near the coasts to requiring proof you can support yourself AND you can’t get hired unless they can’t find a Mexican to do it.
Birthright citizenship for illegals may or may not be mandated by the 14th amendment, but it "says" nothing, explicitly or even implicitly.
With emphasis on might.
“The U.S. enacted birthright citizenship for different reasons, to ensure the citizenship of freed slaves after the Civil War. But... (the rest is needless argument and invalid because of the statement above)
“Birthright citizenship says, quite explicitly, “The American project is so strong, our culture is so strong, our values are so strong, that any baby born on our soil, no matter where his parents come from, will ultimately grow up to be a well-adjusted American, so that we don’t need to wait for him to prove himself to extend citizenship.”
Maybe the kid WILL grow up with some “American” values, although the Democrats and liberals will do their best to prevent it. But then, a kid ought to grow up with his parents, and I see no reason to give resident status to someone - and a life of welfare benefits - to someone for having a kid in the USA!
But assuming you ship the parents out, and let them keep their kid - how will he learn “American values” while growing up with his parents in Mexico? Hmmm?
Invasion by pregnancy is still an invasion!
At one time this was true for most immigrants. It is no longer true today. Immigrants are not assimilating as they have in the past.
Sacre merde.
“anchor babies” is a myth.
I’d like to know what “research” was done. I’ve known thousands of illegals (mostly Mexican). I’ve known hundreds of children of illegals born in the USA. I’ve registered to vote about 150 naturalized citizens. Anchor babies and anchor wives are real. I know school districts where anchor baby shifted from 5% to 60% across dozens of kindergarten classes.
Two of my 3 daughters are anchor babies in that they were born while my wife was an illegal. If we had divorced she would not have needed me as the anchor spouse.
BTW why are people so concerned about the anchor baby and not the anchor spouse? I feel slighted. Am I not important also? :)
But as far as the article is concerned, I’d like to know the “research”.
I’m not crazy about France or ‘Frenchmen’, but it’s a pretty safe bet that several million of them would not chance American culture too much (other than complaining about everything and having to explain to their babes that some beaches still require tops).
But that is NOT the issue here. The people taking advantage of our Open Borders polices consist of two types: Those from south of the border, and those that approve of 9/11.
Because we don’t already have enough foreigners scamming us for free stuff.

No, we don't, Grubby.
Find out what birthright citizenship is, before engaging mouth.
Birthright citizenship should be both transparent and totally uncontroversial.
Your understanding of it is ignorant... as in not totally informed about the process and the history of the term.
Another clueless Frenchman. He ought to look at the myriad of French problems and try to solve them rather than opining on U.S. issues.
I like how when I’m dragged to court, I’m told that #1) I’m responsible for knowing the law and #2) I’m responsible for understanding that law.
And when politicians and talking heads don’t know the law, well it’s all interpretive. :)
It’s worse than anchor babies. Here in Oklahoma, pregnant illegals get prenatal care since the baby is going to be a citizen once it’s born.
Nonsense. We absolutely do not need birthright citizenship. I was told (I did not see it myself) that today Bill O’Reilly raved for the need for birthright citizenship and that the far left and Conservatives all agree on this. I wish he would have M. Levin on his show to tell him how wrong he is.
