I agree with the priest who stated our immigration law must be fixed, to keep the family together (parent and anchor baby to be more precise). One must drive thru El Monte, California and will understand. The Mexican breeder will nest in a California city (sanctuary). After the child is born, that’s it! She is sure to stay.
Is this child indeed a US Citizen? I think not, and I am sure there are some US Constitution scholars who are researching the issue. Remember, the parent (only one known) is not legally here, and her own country is claiming jurisdiction over her.
This is the law on anchor babies:
“The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution provides that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof are citizens of the United States.”
“These babies, under current interpretation of U.S. law, automatically become U.S. citizens and most qualify immediately for a variety of benefits, including Medicaid. Over time, they can open the door to citizenship to other family members.”

Notice this -which is happening full force:
“Over time, they can open the door to citizenship to other family members.”
