I agree, this anchor baby stuff is ridiculous. I actually think repealing that interpretation would slow down illegal immigration considerably as women would have less reason to want to come over the border. Furthermore, the judges would have less reason to prohibit sending them back. Now, you get the anchor baby and likely as not you get the parent(s) who get to stay despite the fact that their first act upon entering the US was to break Federal law.

The anchor baby law was stupid to begin with. Nothing in the books that would allow the mother or the rest of the family immediate citizenship anyway. Why would the fedguv deliberately create a situation where the child would be a U.S. citizen and leave the mother at risk to be deported?

Sounds like the gummint was out to legally steal babies for some reason.
