One of my concerns is that an Anchor Baby could become a US President down the road if we only use the stipulation that they were “born on US soil”. While I think there is perhaps language in the Constitution that wouldn’t allow this, it’s really a matter of interpretation. If someone is here illegally, then IMHO a baby should not be considered a US citizen as the parents had no allegiance to the USA; however, we know many, especially libs, will look at that differently, especially if it’s to their advantage.
As far as I know, Trump has been the only one talking about Anchor Babies.
I’ve read that the Admin has sent groups to 25 US cities to teach folks how to prep illegals to become citizens prior to Nov 2016. Guitterez (who makes my skin crawl) is doing something similar with another group. Anyone know what is happening with Obummer’s illegal EO’s that the judge stopped last fall? I haven’t seen anything on it in quite some time.
The legal argument there isn't as easy as the "born abroad" one, but see Kawakita v. United States, 343 U.S. 717 (1952) for the risks associated with dual citizenship. Obama is an admitted dual citizen at birth, BTW. And there is much written, even in modern cases (Tuan Anh Nguyen v. INS, 533 U.S. 53 (2001)), about the importance of contact with the citizen parent and US "culture."
Again we'd be stuck with a charismatic target (Rubio), which roughly stops people's ability to reason, dead in its tracks.

SCOTUS agreed to hear it. I think that is bad news, SCOTUS will say it's up to Congress to impeach if the president doesn't take case the laws are faithfully executed, not a power of the Courts. Actually, there is plenty of middle ground, but SCOTUS would not have taken it if it agreed with the status quo. SCOTUS wants to legitimize the legalization of the illegals by executive order, contrary to will of Congress. It's SCOTUS turn to be "bad cop."
It's not just libs. Many evangelicals are open borders advocates, the Catholic Church is a NWO proponent, and it's fairly popular to think that each of us should be able to dream of being leader of any country we choose to call "home."
The "anti national" forces have been working hard since the early 1900's. They are going to persist until they get their way. A 20 year delay is nothing to them.
Just saying, it's not just a "lib" thing. The number of people in Congress who stand in strong opposition to slowly dissolving the borders (other than for business purposes and managing the rate of "leveling the playing field") is probably fewer than 10. The rest all subscribe to modern political science.
No, they are trying to naturalize green card holders who are eligible to be citizens. Clinton/Gore did something similar in 1996 expediting naturalization of green card holders. Since immigrants vote more than two to one Dem, it is a way to get more Dems on the rolls. At any one time, there are about 15 million green card holders resident in this country. Many have elected not to become citizens. The is just a Dem GOTV effort. It is not about legalizing illegals.

The Obama second EO amnesty was stopped in the lower courts. The Obama administration asked SCOTUS to put it on the docket as soon as possible. SCOTUS complied and will hear the case this session with a decision in June.
Obama's first EO amnesty, the so called Dreamer amnesty in 2012, has legalized the status of approximately 580,000 Dreamers giving them work permits and SSNs. Based on that status, a number of states are issuing them driver's licenses and granting them in-state tuition. The courts have not ruled on this one either, but I expect no politician will try to undo it. Why? Because it has to do with "children" who came here 15 and under. It doesn't matter if they came with their parents or not. And they can be up to the age of 30 to get the Dreamer amnesty. So far, the approval rate for those who apply is about 99.5%.
Ah yes....Rubio.
