That's America, buddy!
How are the parents being "anchored" here through a child? As someone accurately mentioned above, the child cannot sponsor the parents until the child reaches the age of 21. The parents do not have any increased rights as a result of having given birth to an American citizen and still, just as ever, subject to deportation.
Please explain.
Like freedom of speech, worship, assembly, the press....yeah, what a bunch of selfish, rights-demanding a$$holes.
Unlike your ancestors, who came here for...what again?
"That would be one person that the state has to care for, as opposed to three. "
dave, are you saying that ALL of the parents who give Birth to a Child in the USA ... just want a free ride.... They expect that the Government will house them , feed them and take care of the Health problems? Am I understanding you Correctly ?
This award is for YOU !
If you don't want to be broken up, stay in your own country instead of trying to work the system here.
And you get to stay because- why? Oh that's right, because you won the genetic lottery and were born here, unlike these poor suckers, who can go to hell as far as you are concerned.
Tells us everything we need to know about your level of basic human decency and respect for humanity, Dave. Not that this is anything new for you.
Tell that to members of the EU that have had open borders between other EU countries since the early 90s.
That couldn't have been a real statement.
The truth is there have been periods of great numbers if immigrants to the country, between 1850-1930, there were millions of immigrants to the country. The country has always been able to absorb those immigrants and helped expand our economy.
It really is that easy.

Again, please explain.

Which means her mom was here for 12 years too long.
And?
Again, please explain.
I know how to do this one... Bill O'Rielly taught me how!
For the what I said " I owe you an apology .. I also owe you $5 !"
As a result of this obnoxious, slanderous and shameful propaganda, uninformed people may illegally enter the U.S. with the intention of having a child...all while operating under the mistaken impression that the child would "anchor" the parents here.
Thus, given your apparent feelings on the subject, shouldn't you be trying to educate yourself and others about the hardships better known as reality?

and then what? esp if wife didn't want to give up her citizenship- what then? who's baby is it? german citizen? american citizen? can someone tell me about that?
Labels which denigrate do not support a real conversation about an issue.
Usually they mean, I believe a variety of uncomplementary things about the group being labeled. It will take a large effort to even start to change my mind. Resetting to the label and all it means is always probable.
What do you think, Doocy? Carlson??? Why so quiet all of a sudden?
:-)
If they want to change this, then they need a Constitutional amendment.
And, this just shows their racism, again, I think. Basically, they don't want "brown" people coming here and having babies who are then citizens.
It's ridiculous, it's not going to be changed.
Oh please, let the Republicant Party use the 14th Amendment as an issue. Please, please, please.
USA is heading for elections in November. Can it really be true that the Democratic Party is going to lose to the yahoos of the Republicant Party? I concede I am very disappointed in the Democratic Party but not to the point of allowing the Republicant Party back into power.
Is it possible the majority of voters will be willing to vote against their own personal self interests by voting for the Republicant Party? Really?

First we need an amendment that bans abortion, then an amendment that bans flag burning, then an amendment to ban gay marriage and then an amendment to allow school prayer.
Do any of these clowns understand the process of amending the Constitution?
What was good for THEIR ancestors is NOT good for the new immigrants. Why not? Well, I think we all know the answer to that, don't we? Something along the lines of "I'm here, so the fair thing to do is to shut the door behind me."
Here's how to get rid of anchor babies- open our borders to all immigration, like it was for most of our history (unless you were Chinese.) The sacred Founding Fathers these idiots like to bleat about didn't impose immigration restrictions, so I think it's safe to assume they didn't want them. So Fox is arguing against the Founding Fathers, as is the Republican Party. Why do they hate the founders?
Denigrating the amendment to the constitution that ended the injustice of slavery, paid for with a bloody war that nearly destroyed America.
All because they want to make you afraid of Mexicans.
Stay classy Stave and Gretchen!
Sorry again for the rant, but I think there is something almost fascistic in the way we have to hunt down raw vote totals and can't expect to get them from the MSM anymore- it's as if the vote totals are none of our business.
You'd think that people who have to LIE to make a point might stop every now and then and think "wait a minute- maybe I'm the one with the serious problem here."
This Beverly person is an incredibly hateful, ignorant person to be willing to spew such obvious falsehoods. I bet your parents hoped for more, Bev. Maybe you once did, too. But this is all you have in your life- posting bs on a blog in a pathetic attempt to build a rationale for your bigotry? Pathetic.
I feel sorry for you, I really do. No one should go through life as irrationally angry as you are. I hope you get help.
If you call me that in person, better be prepared to join me in jail or the hospital. I can assure you that each of us will end up in one or the other, or both. Also be careful about who is in earshot if you use that term in public. If it's me, again, be prepared for all the social services you're going to need.
Not to brag, but this "anchor baby" has done well for himself, and I'll bet I've contributed more to this economy in taxes and charity donations than most "real Americans" make in a lifetime. That's just a fact. My extended family of over 200 is very similar, again with little to no social services ever requested, a very strong work ethic, etc. The only "problem" is the questionable documentation status of our ancestors.
I find it so bizarre that this is even an issue. The very foundation of our national identity was the children of immigrant colonizers. It was the kids who fought against their own motherland colonizers for independence and formed the world's first real modern nation-states here and throughout the Americas. Our identity is all tied up with the idea of jus solis, law of ground, birthright citizenship. It's one of the few things that differentiates the Americas from the rest of the world. How can such a deeply engrained aspect of our very identity be in question centuries later still? Boggles the mind!
Because, really, who does?
