Should illegal Immigrant children born in the US be automatic American Citizens?

Jessica

Yes, legally they are, that's why so many illegals have these anchor babies.

The illegal Mexican immigrants are invading this country trying to take it over. It's encouraged by Mexico and the American businesses who use them for cheap labor. Their loyalty is to Mexico. They proved that during one of the first rallies when they took down the American flag, hung up the Mexican flag, and then hung the American flag upside down underneath it. THAT is how they feel about America.

Then the people who want to appease them pull out the excuses about how people who are not even alive now, and haven't been for hundreds of years, 'stole' the land from the American Indians. Even American politicians are carrying out this traitorous attack on our sovereignty! If this keeps up, the United States of America will become a 3rd world country, just like Mexico! Mexico's problems are not the fault of Americans, but they are becoming our problems because the Mexicans are invading us and bringing their problems with them.

The illegals make up about 5 % of the work force. The unemployment rate is about 4.5%. Keep in mind that the unemployment rate does NOT represent everyone who is unemployed. It only counts those who are collecting unemployment. Everyone else's plight is ignored. The unemployment rate if everyone was counted would be tremendous. We do NOT have a shortage of labor, we have a large surplus. The more illegals that come in and take our jobs at minimum wage or less (often less) puts more and more Americans out of a job. Most of these Americans are never counted in the unemployment rate if they do not manage to get unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are hard to receive.

Illegals draw welfare by stealing people's social security numbers and identities. That means there are a lot of people being directly hurt by these people as well. Innocent people are having their credit ratings ruined, having IRS problems, and social security problems. If someone who has had their social security number stolen gets married, if either spouse dies or become disabled then they can be denied their benefits.

My family moved to the US before WWII. Those of my family that didn't make it over got killed by the death camps. Our family assimilated to the American culture. We didn't expect the Americans to change to suit us. The illegal immigrants from Mexico are not civilized like that.

They not only changed the National Anthem to Spanish, they changed the words. They already burn our flag and hang our flag upside down. They waved the Mexican flag during a lot of their protests. Some schools have stopped hanging the American flag and forbidden students from wearing clothes with any part of the American flag on their clothing all to keep from offending the Mexicans. It's nothing short of an attack of our country, not only by the illegal aliens, but those who seek to appease them.

I am tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drives the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexicoâ€™s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.

Cultural imperialism

We experience Mexicoâ€™s assault on our country incrementallyâ€”as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our â€œimmigration problem.â€ Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and eventsâ€”all of them framed by the mediaâ€™s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigrationâ€™s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of â€œimmigrant rightsâ€â€”we donâ€™t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.

Another reason we miss whatâ€™s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as â€œgood dads,â€ â€œhard working folksâ€ seeking to better their lives and their familyâ€™s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nationâ€™s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchismâ€”to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialismâ€”to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially

(3) Economic parasitismâ€”to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.

Anyone born here is legall. Were u born here? Your ancestors probably weren't, they stayed here.

Blackfirefly

dont be so dumbfounded, you freakin kno the answer to that, SAY IT AINT SO

Popocatepetl

I agree with datman4u.

I believe most of the countries have that kind of rules.

And about the learn english and American culture, i'm sure there are lots of work to do in that matter, but it can be done.

I really believe there is a lot of effort there is gonna be to be done by the immigrants, - the parents of those children you are talking about. In order to learn english them self, to accept, and even be proud of the country that has given them the posibilities to have a good life.

I am from Mexico, and it's sad for me to know that my compatriots have to live my country, but i understand their situation, and i hope there's the way to make it work.

This is all trash to get the focus on illegal immigrants. The economy is going to hell because of a trillion dollar deficit from the pointless war and that is incomparable compared to the millions illegals mooch off the health care system.

The rate of illegal immigration has not changed, yet all the stories suddenly switched to illegal immigrant problems in the news. This is a political switch for when blame time comes and the economy is doing horrible, people will blame immigrants instead of the massive accumulated debt killing our soldiers to protect some random countries oil for exxon.

illegals work cheap. The companies get more profits. The companies have to pay more taxes. Taxes pays the illegals healthcare. Blame the companies that employ them cheap if you have a problem with that and demand they give them healthcare like any citizen. Right now they work for slave labor prices and get hurt, just like anyone else.

dancemom

No, they should be considered illegal as well. They were born to illegal immigrants and should be treated in the same manner as the parent(s).

Black Fedora

NO!!!! But it'll take a constiutional amendment to change this.

kgokie333

HMMMMM Why do you think they are called ANCHOR BABIES?

Lucifer

If an illegal immigrant children are born in the U.S they should be legal. Its not really our place to say
"Well your mom and dad did try hard to get you here and all, but we don't want some brat here waisting all our money just because their parents are good at hopping fences."
There parents should stay in the U.S in till the child is able to support and care for themselves. We should not give the parents special treatment but we should also not turn away a child who may be valuable to our country later on.

sharpshooter

they should be deport along with their illegal mom or dad.
Illegal means they have no right to be here in the 1st place. That is a difference between those who are illegal and those who has a VALID visa to be here.

joeandhisguitar

No they are not.

hippieguitarist420

no, they shouldn't be at all, but the sad true fact is that if dirty mexicans sneak into the country to pop out their dirty babies, then yes, those dirty babies are american citizens. too bad, huh.

norcal

Yes they are American`s unless parent`s declare other wise.

DAR

Some think this will take a Constitutional Amendment to change, some think it will take a Supreme Court interpretation to clarify. Either way we can't fix it today. However we CAN change the immigration law that lets every citizen get preference to bring in family members. Family unification procedures, which are established by our immigration law, can be changed in our immigration law to apply only to those who had a citizen or permanent legal resident parent in the U.S. at the time of birth in the U.S. This will limit the 'gaming' of our laws to bring in families when the child was calculatedly brought here to be born, to begin with.

I recommend you suggest that to your Congressmen. Right now the situation looks like 'all or nothing' on the Hill.

jason

yes, but that shouldnt mean that there whole dam family can just walk on over!!!!

bridor

NO!!!!because they come over here illegally and have there kid here for that reason.so i think they should go back with their family and do it the right way.one wrong does not make it right.if we let them stay they will all do it!!!

luvamerica

the law says Yes.

Nevena

YES! 100 % sure! If you are born in U.S. or in any other country no metter where is your family from you will automaticly get an american passport! Trust me

bentley f

i was born in san francisco both my parents are aussies and of course so am I.just because i was born in the usa doesnt make me american, thank god!

lifedrain

this won't be resolved online.
its constitutional law that ANY babies born on US soil be american citizens.
it does not allow for the parents to be automatic citizens of the US though, although the kids have every right to file the papers for their parents when they reach a certain age, i'm unsure if its 18 or 21.
thats the same for ANY person. if i'm born here legaly and i'm from Russia or some ****, and i want to have my immediate family over, i can file the papers for it.
then, its a matter of time, a few years or whatever.
until that changes, shut the **** up, or do something about it.

Evangeline

Being born in the US shouldn't automatically make you a citizen. I am an immigrant, so I know that it's tough...but I went to mexico in 1999 with a few friends and I saw about 4 or 5 pregnant (ready to burst) young mexican women waiting to cross the border. Some of them even give birth outdoors, right by the border, just so that their babies are born in the US. I don't know if ALL of what I saw was legitimate, who know why they were standing there... but it sure bothered me. Also, many American citizens who have children on Foreign soil (like on a military base) are not considered citizens of that country.

hexa

If their parents are illegal the babies are illegal.

Momma

Nope - if I was in a foreign country while pregnant, and my child was delivered there, would they be citizens of that country????? I think not!
