The author knows nothing about immigration law and makes a dirt common mistake.

He is confusing BIRTHRIGHT citizenship with an “anchor baby”

In 1996 the Republican congress did away with the “anchor baby”

The concept of anchor baby is that custody follows the american citizen. Hence the “anchor”.

Under CURRENT LAW, cutody follows the parents of the minor thus a birth right citizen goes with the deported parents.

JUST TO ADD TO THE MIX, under the current law those born of that citizen are only US citizens IF that illegal alien offspring has lived in the USA for ten years.

The author should actually study law before looking like a MSM journalist.

Info is available on http://www.uscis.gov under citizenship or obtaining a proof of citizenship certificate.

takes all of 2 minuts to look up.

Sounds like a good solution, but why don’t it get enforced?
