Did you know this?

Question

The US born children of illegal aliens (anchor babies) can be touched. Congress can vote that yes in fact the Executive branch has incorrectly interpreted the 14th amendment, and revoke the citizenship of all anchor babies under age 18. The ones over 18 could be given the option of passing the US citizenship test or leaving the US. Congress can do this because the 14th Amendment does not give automatic citizenship to everyone, but only those born to parents who are under the complete jurisdiction of the US.

You never hear any of this in your newspaper because they don't want you to know.

Now start lobbying your Congressperson to fix this current desecration of US Citizenship.

I heard that there's a bill of some sort that would no longer allow "anchor babies" to become citizens - - if any of you can find it for me please let me know.

ILLEGAL aliens shouldn't be allowed to come here, give birth, and get automatic citizenship.

Doesn't anyone know what the word ILLEGAL means?

Answer 1

The 14th amendment to the Constitution was NEVER meant to include illegal aliens. A PROPER interpretation of the language specifically EXCLUDES them.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution reads in part:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside."

The CORRECT interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is SUBJECT to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby.

In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard argued successfuly for the inclusion of the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction of" in the 14th Amendment and spelled out the intent by writing:

"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will NOT, of course, include persons born in the United States who are FOREIGNERS, ALIENS, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."

Despite his intention, the amendment has since been interpreted to guarantee citizenship to every person born in the United States
So there you have it. Yet another perversion of the Constitution. The Supreme Court has never ruled on this issue and it is perfectly clear what the intention was. You don't have to guess it is there in WRITING so why does it continue?

Answer 2

I don't really have a problem so much with 'anchor baby', except that the baby IS then an anchor, simply a tool used to systematically circumnavigate US immigration law. I mean, it's a hell of a birthday present, 'congratulations, kid, you're going to be an american citizen'. ON the OTHER hand, here come the 248 relatives....and somewhere in there, you just have to say 'no'.

I'm not 100% an expert on the law as relates to this, but the liberal 'come one, come all' has now led to problems in our country...and, I think, in some ways, helped prevent development in other countries, which is another hobby horse they're always on about. You're not helping people build up their own countries by baiting people out of them.

I'm actually in favor of a 10-year moratorium on all immigration, just so things can settle out and give everybody a breather from the break-neck growth rate etc.The whole world's gotta slow down with this population business...or it's going to get stupid in a big hurry...6.6 billion, and counting...that's my opinion, anyway...

Answer 3

IT'S TIME WE TURNED THE TABLES!!! Let's start with deporting thier parents first maybe they will follow.

"ANCHOR BABY", IS THE CORRECT NAME!!!!!

Anchor baby is a pejorative term used to refer to a child born in the United States to illegal immigrants or other non-citizens.

The term was coined by nativists to refer to the child's role in facilitating "chain migration" under the provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Services Act of 1965.

The baby becomes the "anchor" of the chain by which its family may receive benefits from social programs, and by which that family's members may themselves eventually become citizens of the United States.

The term "anchor babies" is also used to refer to children born to women who are legally in the US on temporary visas (for example a visitor’s visa) when the child's birth is specifically intended to obtain citizenship under US law, however, this is more precisely described as birth tourism.

Sometimes the term jackpot baby is used interchangeably with the term anchor baby, however this use is always derogatory.

Answer 4

I say we take this a step further and demand that all the military personel who is as you called them and "anchor baby" be returned to US soil,along with any other person no matter if they are in any political off or whatever job they may currently hold need to just have their citizenship taken away and sent back to their country of origin along with the parents where they should file proper documents to return to the U.S.yeahhhhhhh i'm sure like that's going to happen.I mean did u really think congress didn't know all this already?the truth is THEY DON'T CARE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. once election time is over and they know who stays and who goes,all the promises go out the window.

Answer 5

Please don't call them anchor babies. It makes them sound less than human.
It was a supreme court decision, not one of the executive branch, that conveyed citizenship on everyone born here.
Now let me get this straight. You actually want to revoke citizenship from minors? I've seen a lot of ridiculous comments related to the immigration debate but you get the prize. That's incredibly heartless.

Answer 6

It's not the children's fault if his/her parents used him/her as an anchor baby. Also, many people don't have babies with the goal of getting U.S. citizenship. Let me see if I get this right, are you saying illegal immigrants have no right of having children? This is not China.

Answer 7
