Recently several anchor baby homes/hotels have been discovered in residential neighborhoods here in Southern California. While the law does not make having an anchor baby illegal, these growing baby mills are breaking tons of local ordinances and laws by building editions unto residential homes (without permits), and by turning those homes into hosptials/medical care facilities for the mother and the babies.

SEE:http://www.pe.com/local-news/san-be...chino-hills-maternity-hotels-not-uncommon.ece

http://www.immigrationdirect.com/immigration-articles/anchor-babies/index.html

According to the following article, "Four years later, the problem has intensified, and under the Obama administration and their opposition to immigration reform, we can only expect -- at the very least -- more of the same." http://lanewser.net/2012/12/03/chino-hills-residents-weigh-in-on-anchor-baby-safe-house/

According to Wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_baby these mothers and their children can expect a boat load (excuse the pun) of benefits. I predict that this will be the next waive of American anger towards people who bought citizenship at a cheap price.

I Tend to Agree, BUT....

We need to be rid of anchor baby laws and begin a mass deportation of all illegals.

....your thoughts will bring some fire and ire! Be ready for the onslaught for sharing the thoughts within your heart and on the minds of many Americans like me, for one! :thumbsup:

If we controlled our borders the question of anchor babies would be moot.

How do other countries handle this situation, anyone know?

Ireland changed her laws so that citizenship is not automatically conferred to children born here. Parents must have three years of legal residency before a child born here is born with citizenship.

It has severely reduced the number of illegal immigrants.

Most of the countries of Europe have passed similar legislation and we are seeing far fewer of the shipping containers full of immigrants literally dying to get in.

We obeyed the law and now all have either dual citizenship or permanent residency, but it is not easy. We have a son born here under the old law and a grandchildren who qualified under the new law.

I suspect that if the US changed her laws in a similar manner it would greatly reduce the number of immigrants who go there to have babies and be a solid start to dealing with illegal immigration.

:thumbs::thumbs:

But getting such a law passed would likely be impossible. It MAKES TOO MUCH SENSE!!

ha !! THAT is better said than done. The longer I live in this country, the more liberal and secular I see it becoming. I voted for a change of laws.

I think our last election tells you that changing the law isn't going to happen. The same group seems to want to stop us from controlling our borders.

It's OK. I expect it from a few people. LOL Desiring actual justice, and not PC "justice" is seen as bigotry, racist, and altogether evil by some.

True. Though I never said it was likely to happen.



What liberals ignore is that our laws are much more lax than many of the nations they love to tout as morally superior to the US concerning social issues.

This from the website that was referenced by Mexdeaf


Among the findings:

Only 30 of the world’s 194 countries grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens.

Of advanced economies, Canada and the United States are the only countries that grant automatic citizenship to children born to illegal aliens.

No European country grants automatic citizenship to children of illegal aliens.

The global trend is moving away from automatic birthright citizenship as many countries that once had such policies have ended them in recent decades.

14th Amendment history seems to indicate that the Citizenship Clause was never intended to benefit illegal aliens nor legal foreign visitors temporarily present in the United States.

The U.S. Supreme Court has held that the U.S.-born children of permanent resident aliens are covered by the Citizenship Clause, but the Court has never decided whether the same rule applies to the children of aliens whose presence in the United States is temporary or illegal.

Some eminent scholars and jurists have concluded that it is within the power of Congress to define the scope of the Citizenship Clause through legislation and that birthright citizenship for the children of temporary visitors and illegal aliens could likely be abolished by statute without amending the Constitution.

...thanks Roger. This is telling it like it is, and America needs to do this before we see this nation slip away into a place that can't be redeemed.

It's like other say, no nation on earth would tolerate what the American government tolerates regarding immigrants, especially the illegal and undocument ones.

It must stop!
