Should offspring of illegal aliens be legal US citizens? Why? or Why Not?

Answer 1

Anchor babies should not automatically guarantee citizenship. Why? Because if the mother is illegal the baby should be too. Why give more illegals the incentive to climb walls, jump fences, dodge cars on the freeway and swim over here illegally.

Answer 2

absolutely not. Pregnant women from mexico cross the border everyday just so they can give birth in America and peraphs avoid the risk of being deported so easily. As illegal immigrants those people will usually get stucked in low income jobs and unable to provide livelyhood for these childrens anyhow. Those children will become a liability for America's economy right away and we, tax-payer will be stucked with the tab.

Answer 3

Under the 14th amendment they are NOT citizens. Never really have been. Anyone that has ever studied the 14th amendment and the discussions on citizenship by the 39th congress can tell you that.
The myth that the 14th amendment grants citizenship is perpetuatedby the liberal press. It has been repeated so many times that people actually believe it and our liberal elites simply allow the myth to continue.

Answer 4

Yes. If you strip the protection of the 14th Amendment from the Constitution, you open the door to Americans being denied American citizenship on technicalities based on thier ancestry.

For instance, there are illegal aliens in the US who have been here 20+ years, they could have adult children who have grown up in the US from a very early age (say 2). Those adult children, technically illegals in spite of being here virtually thier whole lives, speaking english, and being to some degree assimilated, could have children who could, in turn, be entirely assimilated. Were it not for the 14th Amendment, those completely americanized kids - and thier descendents - could be denied citizenship.

Answer 5

Should offspring of illegal aliens be legal US citizens? Why? or Why Not?

Yes because its the law maybe?

Answer 6

NO. It is just an old law that probably was created with good intentions. It should have had a clause that said they would not be given citizenship if the parent was a law breaking illegal.

Answer 7

curiously, you're a conservative yet enable me answer ur question easily hm...properly, i truthfully might say that this coverage has allowed from a extensive type of unlawful aliens to stay in the U. S.... the reality that anybody is often giving delivery makes this requirement look purely approximately arbitrary whether, there's a extensive push to "up" the standards, to which i do help... whether i'm a liberal, i'm adversarial to any of my opposite numbers who help susceptible immigration regulations, wherein vast issues are created in our commerce and deficit budgets... one extra alien is one step nearer to national financial disaster, as we attempt our terrific in conserving social secure practices, decrease priced wellbeing care, and so on.

Answer 8

They are not U.S. citizens. They are illegal just like their parents.

Also not U.S. citizens is anyone born to someone visiting on a visa (tourist, school, work, etc.).

In order to be as U.S. citizen by birth your parent/s must be U.S. citizens or LEGAL residents. Those on visas and those who come over illegally are not Legal residents nor U.S. citizens.

The 14th amendment is used by their supporters and the politicians that benefit from them but they are wrong.

The 14th amendment cannot and does not apply to illegals. In fact if anyone with even a small amount of knowledge about U.S. immigration knows that there is NO WAY possible for the 14th amendment to be used in the argument for illegals.

Facts:

The 14th amendment was passed by Congress June 13, 1866, and ratified July 9, 1868.

If the 14th amendment states that anyone born in the U.S. is a U.S. Citizen then how do the supporters of the illegals explain the case of UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK?

In 1898 Wong Kim Ark, an American of Chinese ancestry sued the U.S. to prove that he was a U.S. Citizens. (That was 30 years AFTER the 14th amendment was ratified.)

Wong Kim Ark was an American of Chinese ancestry born to LEGAL RESIDENTS who sued the U.S. to prove he was an American citizen. He was born in the U.S. to LEGAL residents and made several trips back and forth to China. On one trip back, he was denied entry into the U.S. He sued and won.

However, Americans of Chinese ancestry WERE NOT granted U.S. Citizenship until 1943. It was not until China sided with America against Japan in WWII did America finally grant citizenship to people of Chinese ancestry. Wong Kim Ark's parents were LEGAL RESIDENTS but he and all Chinese were denied U.S. citizenship even though they were born in the U.S.

How can illegals, their illegal children, their supporters and the politicians use the 14th Amendment? It did not automatically grant U.S. citizenship to the children born in the U.S. to LEGAL RESIDENTS of Chinese ancestry.

During the 1940's, more than 40 years AFTER the case of UNITED STATES v. WONG KIM ARK and 75 years AFTER the 14th amendment was ratified Americans of Japanese ancestry were deported to Japan even though they were born in the U.S. In some cases they were 2nd generation Americans. They were the grandchildren of LEGAL residents of Japanese ancestry.

How can illegals, their illegal children, their supporters and the politicians use the 14th Amendment? It did not automatically grant U.S. citizenship to the children and grandchildren born in the U.S. to LEGAL RESIDENTS of Japanese ancestry.

We DO NOT NEED illegals working in America. We have Americans WILLING to do the jobs taken by illegals.

These jobs are filled by illegal because companies know they can pay them less than minimum wage or at just minimum wage.

These jobs should go to LEGAL Americans in the U.S. and to Americans born to U.S. soldiers.

One of the BIGGEST CRIMES the U.S. has committed is against Americans born to U.S. soldiers. The 1986 amnesty act gave millions of ILLEGAL LEGAL STATUS while specifically denying U.S. citizenship to children born to U.S. soldiers.

This was racist on the part of the American government. It supports illegals who are white or who are Christians but DELIBERATELY refuses to recognize the children of American soldiers as U.S. citizens.

All children born to America soldiers or their descendants are American citizens and should be allowed to come to the U.S. along with their entire family.

Then the supporters of illegals can ask “Who will do the jobs the Americans will not?”.

Why are illegals from Mexico welcomed but the children born to American soldiers in Vietnam have been denied U.S. citizenship for 62 years? America went into Vietnam in 1945.

America does not need any illegals, it has its own citizens regardless of where they currently reside in the world.
