America needs a NEW Constitutional Amendment!

No More Anchor Babies

Published on June 27, 2007 By Moderateman In US Domestic

Anchor babies have long been a sneaky way for Illegal Aliens to break the law by coming across the border Pregnant and give birth in America so the baby become a citizen taking advantage of the fourteenth Amendment.

It shows their contempt for America and her laws by taking advantage, having a BABY WHICH AUTOMATICALLY BECOMES A CITIZEN, and allows the Illegals to stay so we do not break the family up.

ENOUGH I SAY! We need to Amend the fourteenth Amendment and stop giving Citizenship to babies of illegal Aliens, forcing them to leave, this madness must stop. Put this to a vote to the American People. Let the people decide if we want this archaic law to continue. The law was written after the Dredd Scott decision, making sure that slaves born in America were citizens of the country, it has outlived its usefulness.

I for one would vote that we ban this law and send the entire family back to where they came from no matter when it is.

Enough of these escape clauses for Illegal aliens to take advantage of. Enough of fair play, for they do not play fair. they lie, cheat, SOME STEAL and still they get to reap the benefits of American citizenship while not being citizens! Enough is enough already! it is time to stand up and say if you are not going to come to America Legally, you will be deported, if you get caught a second time you will be sent to prison, then deported. To many Illegals are using this Amendment to weasel their way into America to stay, and they are taught how to use this by the Mexican Government to top it off.

Interesting to read this today, as I have just begun reading the Sword of Truth seris by Terry Goodkind, and it reminded me of a passage from yesterday. The crux of the argument was that the aggressor chooses the rules of the conflict, and it is the other's job to deal with the conflict under those conditions. Wishing or pretending While some may not like the comparison of illegal immigrants to aggressors, it is an apt comparison. It does still involve taking something through illicit means.

you write so well, deep thoughts and put to cyber paper so succinctly, I agree naturally, but that's because it seems you agree with with my premise too.

Amendment XIV: Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside."

An "anchor baby" is a person born in the United States to illegal alien parents. It is thought that, because the baby was born in the U.S. it is automatically a citizen, so the parents should be able to stay in the U.S. also.

Illegal aliens are not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", they are (in fact) in the country illegally and while they should be treated with basic human rights, they have no more right to be in the US than I have sleeping in your mayor's office.

Since the parents have no right to be in the US... neither do their kids.

Ted, you beat me to it. Maybe we need a clarification added as the 'interpretation' on it has been TOOO loose. Illegal = No Rights as citizen

yep that is how it should be, but it is not, have an child born in America no matter how you got here and the child is a citizen, and the parents get to stay so the family will not be broken up. Shoot I say deport them all, but changing the Amendment will work for me just fine.

It is a good thing that after writing this

Especially what the "Bill of Rights" and the other ammendments are about. They are never about taking away the rights of citizens.

You then state:

When we outlawed booze with the 18th ammendment.

Which does contradict your first statement above. Amendments to the constitution are not constrained by the intent of the Bill Of Rights (to control government). INdeed, as we have seen, they can be used to restrict our rights (second statement above).

But the one thing a "law" cannot do that an amendment can do - is change the constitution. IN the debate that MM started, the wording in the constitution is fairly clear. You are born here, you are a citizen. And no law can take that right away. Only an amendment can do that.

There is one other thing an amendment can do that a "law" cannot. It cannot be over turned by some monkeys in black robes. It, not the courts, are the final say in the law of the land.

Although you left this in another article, what you say fits right in here doc g good work,. Great definition of what I wrote, I put it simply enough "amend the 14th amendment" but some choose to read what is not there, good work putting it in SIMPLE terms.

heck giving rights that are met for American Citizens to Illegal Aliens are just scratching the surface, the loonie left wants to give American citizen rights to terrorists captured on the field of battle.

MM:

That is only the way it is because we let those ignorant of the U.S. Constitution continue in their ignorance.

I have an idea. Let's let the babies of illegal aliens be citizens, but only once they have reached the age of majority. That way, there's nothing to keep them in here. In order to become a citizen at that time, the baby must have been registered on a 'future citizens' list, which will allow them to return in time. However, as soon as they are registered, we deport the whole family. If the baby is found in the US illegally at any age he is taken off the list immediately.

Ok idea Jythier, but I'd rather go with the U.S. Constitution as it is written.

Well, yeah, but.. why? Change is good as long as it doesn't affect me. The original constitution is so old and musty. They could not have predicted that everyone in Mexico would want to have their babies in the US just so they could stay. Back then, they couldn't even travel that far without forgetting where they lived!

This wasn't true until someone decided to change the interpretation.

I have been crying for the loss of the America I knew, this NEW America I have to live in is fast becoming a country I really as starting to not care for to much. BUT it is still the best country on the planet.

see the problem with that is it would be a LAW, and some liberal knee jerk bleeding heart could over turn it with just the signing of a pen saying "it's unconstitutional"
