New York Times reports that Henry Cejudo, the son of unauthorized migrants, has just won the gold for the U.S. For most nativists, however, Henry Cejudo is not a U.S. citizen. He is an "anchor baby".
"This is the American dream," said a joyful Cejudo, still wrapped in the U.S. flag. "The United States is the greatest country in the world."
“I served in the Iraq War with many so-called ‘anchor babies.’ They are among Americans who died for the United States,” said Ruben Gallego, a Hispanic military veteran who is running as a Democrat candidate for the state legislature. “Stupid laws like these make Arizona look like another backward state.”
No problem and per the constitution you are obviously correct.
The parents however are not and regardless of the fact that their child is an legal citizen, the parents should be deported and they can make the choice of either placing the child in foster care or taking the child with them.
Re-apply for citizenship when they turn 18 if they want.
No more of my TAXES will pay for ANCHOR BABIES.
ILLEGALS ARENT TOO BRIGHT it seems EXCEPT for WHEN IT COMES TO CHEATING THE AMERICAN SYSTEM. They should spend their mental energy thinking up ways to improve their own country instead of ways to SCREW OVER THE TAXPAYERS OF THE USA.
Either way this problem needs to be adressed...and there is better ways then screwing with the constitution....just take away the illegal support system...brick by brick.
I believe that to become a citizen, you have to do more than just be born at the right place.

Of course the Mexican government will need to determine if they want a flood of American children flooding over the border into Mexico.
Don't worry, your taxes aren't going to anchor babies. It's going to help pay the interest on that 13 trillion dollar debt. China loves you for it.
I don't know, I mentioned this in another thread... maybe that's what AZ is after here. They've got to know this is going to be ruled unconstitutional... perhaps they're trying to have the larger issue addressed?
i dont think that someone who comes here illegally should be granted citizenship just because they had a child here.
