No. It was time to “address it” 25 years ago.
Actually, it’s CHAIN MIGRATION, that I would like to see ended asap. That is far more harmful and expensive in the short and long run, IMO.
STOP THE ANCHOR BABY SCAM
screw the 14th Amendment
It’s long past time to end the false premise that if a kid is born here that he/she is automatically a citizen.
One or both parents must be a citizen in order to convey citizenship to the child.
If both parents are from mexico then their kid is a mexican citizen. Same goes for honduras, guatamala, etc.
WHY ARE WE ALLOWING CITIZENS FROM OTHER COUNTRIES
ENTERING ILLEGALLY
RIGHTS THAT THEIR COUNTRY DENY US HAVING???
It’s time we consider illegal entry by any person who is a non Mexican citizen illegally entering the United States through the US Mexican border a defacto Mexican citizen with limited Mexican constitutional rights subject to their laws while transiting. As well as any Mexican citizen doing so. Subject to reciprocal citizen treatment a citizen of the United States receives in Mexico through the Mexican constitution on citizenship .
Besides being unable to vote one must also be a citizen to own land and Mexico is very restrictive about granting citizenship. Because of that a US citizen besides not being able to vote,and cannot have title in their name to any land property in Mexico. And until that is changed the US and the affected state should consider making that reciprocal.prohibiting citizens of Mexico or countries with similar restrictions from doing both voting and land ownership..
Chinese mothers having anchor baby American citizens who WILL EVENTUALLY AND MORE EASILY SPY ON AMERICA THEN DISSEMINATE FINDINGS BACK TO THE CHINESE MOTHERLAND.
It's so out of control in my city, it is NOT unusual to see 3 or 4 pregnant Chinese women walking TOGETHER in groups near parks or pathways. NOT JOKING. And they are SMUG and NOT WORRIED about any repercussions for taking part in maternity scams.
These women come here legally...and they leave a few weeks after giving birth and take their children back home to China...while they are here they pay for their hospitals and doctors, hotels, food, transportation etc themselves c...
What about the illegal aliens who also come here to give birth but dont leave again but stay to be a drain on our taxes ??? They don’t pay for anything...the American citizen taxpayers pay for the doctors, hospitals, EBT cards, welfare, food stamps, housing, schoold and upkeep for the anchor babies...
The way to stop all of this is to pass a law which gives American citizenship at birth to only the children of American parents,,,at least one or both of the parents must have been born in the US or be a must have been born in the US to parents here legally or be a naturalized citizen at the time of the child’s birth...
The foreign parents of any child born here must apply to their own country’s consulate for a birth certificate..
Mexican parents have Mexican babies
Chinese parents have Chinese babies
Americans have American babies...
New Zealand stopped this racket years ago...and their main problem was women from the Cook Islands and Fiji...Now only New Zealand parents get a New Zealand birth certificate for their babies..
and Nancy Pelosi didn’t scream “Immoral !!!” or keel over dead because of their new law...
“...children born on American soil get a birth certificate and are citizens, fully entitled to all normal rights and privileges, up to and including running for president...”
Nope.
That child would only be native-born, not natural born, precluding there right show called to be a president of the United States
Is it anything like Obama and his Hawaiian BC ?
There is at least one more birth tourism scam - “Fertility Clinics.”
Wealthy couples, especially from lesser developed countries, claim they can’t conceive, fly to the USA, conceive the old fashion way (after paying the clinic), then they get special extended medical visas because the pregnancy might be high risk.
Nine months later, they apply for new visas or Green Cards because they want their citizen baby to grow up in America!
“Anchor Babies” outnumber “Tourist Babies” about 10 to 1 over the last 10 years.
The average is roughly 300,000 to 30,000 each year.
More often than not, the parents of a “Tourist Baby” are wealthy, or close to it.
As harsh as some countries can be; at least they don’t play when other countries or people are taking advantage of them. Heck; I remember reading China would not allow bald men to become Chinese citizens and stay because they didn’t want to see more baldness in their country. I’m sure they had already taken steps to reduce what they did have.
China, as we well know, doesn’t think short term like America does. They think 50, 100, even 200 years ahead.
It is dead wrong. Yes, we should make our laws clearer to only give citizenship to those born to citizens or legal permanent residents only.
How do they get here? Most airlines don’t permit late-term pregnancies onboard.
Let 'em 'tour' in Virginia.
Yes, especially since some people think the children of foreign nationals are natural born citizens eligible to be President.
