A minor can't legally just live on it's own. I don't care how many children show up.
If a child runs away from home, they are returned to the parents.
That would be my whole argument if I were to make one against the "anchor babies". Their parents are illegal. The child would be a U.S. citizen. But the child has to live with it's parents or if he/she has other family in the U.S. they could live with them.
But the parents? Send 'em back home. And take their kid with them. When he/she is 18 years old, then he/she could come back.
That makes the most common sense to me.
It seems ass-backwards to allow people to enter the country to shit out a baby so the parents themselves can now stay.
Makes no sense in any way.
Don't you agree? Or do you think it's just fine and dandy the way it is?
Also...we all realize that the 14th amendment was written to make all the freed slaves citizens (they were all born to parents who were slaves themselves and not citizens).
Using it for "anchor babies" is a legal loophole that is detrimental to the country.
Or do you think it's a great idea to allow it to continue?
