14th Amendment

[Twoller]

This is great. It could be real progress.

We need to go back and correctly establish that only when the parents are both US citizens and the birth is in the US, only then is the offspring a US citizen.

Once we can set this right, it is only a formality to remove the citizenship of the anchor babies. This is like amnesty. Amnesty does not work because it does not do anything to confront illegal immigration and, in fact, has the opposite effect. Everybody on the other side of the US border wants in before amnesty is posted with the limitations. Where you have amnesty, so also you have people who are unqualified after a certain date.

We cannot set some kind of bounderies for who and who is not a citizen based on birth right. The best that the anchor babies should be able to hope for is that they can line up to be naturalized like anybody else. But meanwhile, no voting at least. Naturalization would be the place to determine exactly who and what we have in terms of anchor babies. Those from English speaking countries would have less of a problem, but anchor babies who grew up with no English would have to be removed.
