Yes, I have thought the same way too, but, the problem is they will give birth inside the buffer zone and the chid, by our laws, is an American citizen.
No law...that was conjured out of thin air by the courts. Courts can’t make law and they can’t make anyone a citizen. That power is given to Congress under our Constitution. Anchor babies are CINOs. Deport their asses.
Jus soli makes that a radioactive proposition.
But for whatever it’s worth, the “anchor baby” used to be of minimal concern because he or she would still have to wait until of legal age of majority to serve as a valid sponsor for his or her parents. Action at that time scale involved a lot of patience and endurance that would only be undergone by people really wanting to go through the trouble.
What the “anchor baby” shouldn’t serve for is an instant ticket in for the parents. There will be much wailing about separating children and parents, and the answer should be that at least under some circumstances, the choice is between exercising the USA citizenship rights and being with the birth parents.
No it ain’t. That false principle has never been affirmed; it is merely assumed.
The new Court will officially swat down that idea at some point.
