That would seem to be a loop hole for deportation with their parents, right?

It would depend on the laws of the home country. In many countries, you can get citizenship of that country if both your parents are citizens, regardless of where you are born. In that case, an anchor baby would have (or be able to get) dual citizenship.
The US does recognize dual citizenship, whether through birth or naturalization.

Not sure what an anchor baby is so can't answer that, but to Smarty Pants the US does recognise Dual Citizenship as long as you are born with it not acquire it. E.G. I am a British Citizen, my wife is a US Citizen, all 3 of our kids are dual nationals born and bred. With US and British passports.

I don't know exactly what you mean but if it helps, I was born in the States, but my family is from canada and I do have dual citizenship.

In 1998, Mexico changed its law to allow Mexican nationals and their children to have dual citizenship. they just have to apply for it here. (i have dual citizenship of US and Mexico)

Probably not. If born in the U.S. supposedly they are U.S. citizens, but why would the country their mother is from recognize them as citizens of that country?
As far as I know, the U.S. is the only country that grants citizenship to a person born here.
