the very undeniable actuality that they are even classed as "unlawful Alien" or that Citizenship of everywhere, should be an problem, shows any religious concerns have lengthy been forged aside. someone coming from yet otherwise of existence , who needs to stay between human beings of your own way of existence should be considered as a praise, and by no skill churlishly dealt with as if it were a planned act of invasion. This xenophobic, and insular approach, is counter effective to any sort of sensible cultural replace. i do not 10 years of employment in the back of me, or maybe 10 years without Police record, My authorities would not withhold my rights as a Citizen on those grounds, so if i assumed it became precise for them to do with the point to everybody else, can be a tad hypocritical. the business project engendered through States who declare migrant workers as unlawful, is exploitative, and drives wages down. If the employment market became an same throughout the board, then an same wages might want to should be offered, for an same job, regardless of the position the man comes from. of direction, this will also mean that Taxation is an same for all too, so that is a win, win project,

No they should not!! Not even according to the Constitution, which is so often cited ... the 14th amendment was never intended for illegal aliens, since they are not under the jurisdiction of the United States or any State in the Union ... whose bright idea was it to give anchor babies citizenship in the first place? Since it flies in the face of the Constitution??
Quote: The citizenship of all persons born within the United States may still be decided by an Act of Congress, as was done for Native Americans in the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. The Citizenship Reform Act of 2005 (currently proposed as H.R. 698) would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify that the domestically born children of foreign nationals are not granted automatic citizenship. Some legislators have proposed that the citizenship clause be changed through a constitutional amendment; however, no amendment has yet been presented to the States for ratification.

Yes, the 14th Amendment requires it.
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."
I've seen people try to argue that children of illegal immigrants are not "subject to the jurisdiction" but that is incorrect as a matter of law. Anyone in the US is subject to the jurisdiction of th federal government, unless they have specific jurisidicational immunity to prosecution.
An example would be a foreign diplomat, or someone located within an embassy that is considered foreign soil. That person is not subject to the jurisdiction of the federal government becase of diplomatic immunity, so they would not natural-born citizens. The same would be applied to children born on Native American reservations when those reservations were fully sovereign, but not partially sovereign as they are today.
The bottom line is that if the police or federal agents can arrest them, they are "subject to the jurisdiction" as that phrased is used by law.
See U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), cited by Plyler v. Doe, 457 U.S. 202, 212 FN10 (1982).

That anchor-babies law has been so abused that's its not used for how it was intended to be used. An anchor baby brings 18 years of help that's why illegals are making as many as they can.

They are only anchor babies if both of their parents are illegal. No, they should not be given citizenship. They need to go home with their illegal parents. I don't believe in separating families, and I don't believe in rewarding people for breaking the law. We only want them to go back to their beautiful countries, it's not like we're sending them to jail or to their deaths.

I gotta say no. The USA is one of very few countries that does this - for example, a child born in Japan to US citizen parents does NOT qualify for Japanese citizenship. I think Mexico is the same way.

NO: WHY you ask. Because Illegals are just having kids for that very reason. They come across the border 9 months Prego simply to DROP anchor. This Exploited Loophole needs to be CLOSED. It's actually a rather simple fix. Illegal Parents Make ILLEGAL BABIES. END ANCHOR BABIES FOR ILLEGALS.

Get an education. Get a productive job. Stop obsessing about Mexicans. If your life is dictated by Mexicans, its time for you to look in the mirror. Pleas

Yes, A US citizen is anybody born in the United States. Period..
Most of you are citizens because your ancestors migrated here not because they were born here..
Why punish poor children who did not violate any immigration laws?
