The contest stipulated that entrants had to be legal residents of the U.S. As far as I understand it, these Chinese parents are not only illegal aliens, they are also unmarried. They must be amazed that the American tax payers are such suckers. We not only let allow them to enter and stay in this country without penalty; we pay for the delivery of their baby, post-natal care, their health care, etc. (not to mention the future education of their child who never should have been born here in the first place). As a nation, we invite this problem and must be gluttons for punishment.
Will D.C. bureaucrats ever come to their senses and approve of enforcing our existing immigration law?
What are your thoughts?

Don J, you are a windbag who was probably denied a green card to enter this great U.S.A. Don't be jealous of us. Imagine, with all of our faults, we are still the greatest country in the world and one which millions hope to make their permanent home (legally, of course). We would not want it any other way.

No. Toys-R-Us should have taken it to court. They would have won because of the stipulations of the contest. Besides, maybe the INS would have actually done its job and deported these illegals before the trial.

Well, its quite simple actually, if we just drop all the "racist anti-immigrant" and "bleeding heart liberal" noisy hysteria.....
If the contest said that "entrants had to be legal residents" who is the "entrant?" The baby or its parents? If the entrant is the baby, then the kid is in fact a "legal resident" and that's all she wrote, he wins. If on the other hand, the parents are the "entrants," why then no way are they entitled to win and caving in was a serious lapse committed against the social order by Toys R Us. Period.
Its either one or the other and all the emotional hysteria is irrelevant to the extreme. It should be resolved according to the rulers of the contest, ONLY! Not according to rants and raves about racism, illegal immigration, colonialism, unmarried status, social fascist "political correctness," immigration laws or any other "red herring!"
(One of the worst aspects of your country is that you Americans hate to "play by the rules," most of the answers here even ignore the fact that this contest had rules. One idiot even writes that the winners should not be given the prize, even if the rules were followed, just because that person doesn't like "illegals." How can I tell you this so you people will understand? This is the one most important reasons that the rest of the world hates the United States! You HATE to play by the rules, even your own rules. When they become incovenient to you, even if you signed your agreement in blood, you ALL start whining and wriggling and hiring lawyers to get out of it! That is why your country is totally controlled by lawyers! That is why BILLIONS are flushed down the toilet evey year in litigation in the US! If the rules weren't followed in this situation, then you have a case, if they were followed, even technically, then SHUT UP! Go find something legitamite to get worked up about!)

now they is only not deported...it would be politically incorrect to do it now...the fairly some human rights and ethnic communities may well be throughout that and TRU can not and would not elect the undesirable exposure,hence why they went back on their unique ruling and now the newborn is an anerican citizen for being born here so what you deport the dad and mom and leave the newborn here...i think TRU don't have given in like this,it incredibly is why human beings might desire to verify the regulations,i forgot while you're here illegally maximum probable you may not examine or talk english

I don't think the child should have gotten it..even if the child is a US citizen.. it just goes to show u how America got screwed again. There were plenty of American babies born who really needed that money (those whose parents actually paid into the system).. I doubt these people even knew what Toys R Us was and I can almost bet, they never spent any money in there. They should have immediately deported their butts back to China and the kid too..

I did not know this but now I am really mad. So many American citizens you know the ones who pay taxes could have benefited from the money. Chinese own us and they have been laughing all the way to the bank and now this. What a slap in the face of legal immigration.

The rules were specific.
The parents were illegals.
Doesn't it seem reasonable if the rules are being tweaked that next year everyone from around the world will rush to the US for a chance of prize $.....?
It was very charitable for Toys R Us to give to all 3 babies...............but I believe the rule was parents were to be US residents...........not illegals!
Hope the rules are in BOLD print for next year.

This sort of thing is corporate America, spitting in the faces of middle class America. They do these stupid gift things to suck people in. Who do they want to suck in but the new guys on the block. In this case, the meaner, uglier out of sorts kind folks and the reason for that is that is who they are targeting. All of America is targeting illegals currentl. Job and trainee companies, furntiure, cars it' goes on. Watch around you and you will see mostly Hispanic people used in the commercials to attract the attention of those people. There are roughly 30% legal hispanics in the US currently, depending on area. Why would the large corporations focus on these folks mostly? They want their biz and their bread. They want to emply them and to sell to them. Biz is about making money ...not about being partriotic and ...saving America.
WE are facing as middle class people in the USA ...a war against our best interest by the large corporations. They want buyers and cheap labor. All they do tries to get them there. The fact that this will make Americans work for less, compete more, pay more taxes etc etc. is GOOD for the large corporation ...and bad for the rest of us. THis is why this award was given.
Write em' a letter and tell em' your are mad as Hell and you aren't going to take it anymore!
At least it will make you feel better. But that' probubly about all.

Give the baby the award, according to the contest rules. Then deport the mother back to China. I wonder if the prize would have been worth deportation?

It was as wrong as something can be. And until they change their policy on rewarding people who are here illegally and don't play by the rules I will puchase my 3 year olds toys somewhere else.

first of all the baby as much as you might dislike it, is an American citizen.(anybody born in the us is a citizen, so would you rather pay for the foster care this kid would need if the parents were sent back) So yes the baby had a right to the toy r us money. second you are making a lot of assumption,how do you know "we" paid for the birth,education ect.(maybe they used the 25,000.00 non tax payers money for the birth) and how much do you know about your family tree?? how far back do you have to go to find your first relative who is not a legal citizen.
I know I have to go back several generations but it is there. America is made up of people from all around the world and I personally would have it no other way!
