Should the children of illegal immigrants (that are born in the US) be able to stay in America?

Look, I'm an American with Legal Immigrant Asian Parents.

Had they been illegal, I would still be an American citizen because I was born here.

Difference is, if my parents came illegally, that would put THEM at risk of deportation and not me. They would know this. They also would know since I'm their daughter, they are responsible for me.

So getting deported would be the 2nd most stupid thing they did, 1st being they came to the US illegally. Their deportation is their problem and while it's not mine, they have choices. They can find another family member or friend willing to take care of me, or they can take me with them back to their home.

US owes these people nothing. US owes me nothing. I didn't ask to be born. It's the job of the parents to be good role models so I can grow up to want to be just like them. If they were illegal, I would still love them but I would not love what they did to risk our happy family by ignoring a soverign national border.

It is not the job of the US to take care of every unhappy person who happens to be a citizen of somewhere else.

That is the big dilemma with Anchor Babies. The crime was committed by the parents and ethics would say that the child shouldn't be penalized by sending the parents away.

However, this is the way the law looks at this issue. If a parent or parents commit a crime that warrants jail, the children are put into State protective care and the parents go to jail. In this situation the parents should be deported and the child should be put into protective care or allowed to go to the country of the parents. If the Child is not a minor then the parents should be deported and the child should be allowed to stay. The key to this is it is a legal issue. The law was broken and there must be a remedy. We must not be weak on crime. Some countries will execute you for being in the country illegally, we need to remember that the terrorists that blew up the World Trade were illegal aliens.

We are not able to move legal guidelines that require something of another country, comparable to that country's citizenship rules. We will handiest cross and enforce laws that outcome our residents or persons journeying our country, whether they're right here legally or no longer. I am beautiful definite that anchor babies should not residents of the us if their mothers and fathers aren't residents. I do know that is not the long-established figuring out at the moment but I suppose it is the intent of the structure and when it is subsequently proven they'll no longer be residents. If for illustration an American soldier and his spouse are stationed in a overseas country and they've a youngster (no longer born on base, which IS American soil) there the little one is an American. It isn't a (some thing nation) citizen. Babies who're born even as their mothers and fathers are touring are citizens of the parent's country. There is no intent to reward unlawful invaders of our country with citizenship for their youngsters. That is not the law and that isn't the customized. It's in basic terms a competition by using illegals that their little anchors are americans as a consequence spreading Americanism to the entire household.

If they were not born in the USA they are not citizens and should exported. Their parents should have considered the welfare of their children before including them in their illegal activities. If a person is born here, then by law you are a citizen, and in that case the question the mute. But in that case, the parents go back to their home, and the child should be able to choose between going home with their parents, or going to foster care if old enough to decide, or the parents can decide if the child is too young.

Yes. Every (White) person born on American soil has always automatically been a citizen under the English legal decision enumerated in Calvin's Case (1609).

They continued that rule when they wrote the Constitution in 1789, and in 1870 the 14th Amendment made it the rule for non-whites as well.

Indians on reservations were deemed to be born on foreign ground until 1922. The only exception remaining is for children of Ambassadors (or invading armies) who are deemed to carry their sovereign nationality with them at all times. That is an ancient and accepted rule.

There is no reason to change it. We have bigger problems to solve.

If they are born here they are citizens and can't be forced to leave. However, if they are minor children their parents decide whether they go back with them or remain here with other family members.

We all need to insist that our Congresspeople modify the 14th amendment

and end Birthright citizenship. If either parent is an ILLEGAL immigrant,

the baby is NOT a US Citizen, that should be the LAW!

We could do, simply if we had the will to, DEPORT all of the illegals from this land.

We The People simply need to decide that its a good thing to do.

Every nation has regulations & laws governing immigration and people who

flaunt disrespect for the law, should be treated as what they are & that is OUTLAWS.

Can U dig it?

In some countries, citizenship is a matter of blood. In Germany, for instance, if both your parents are German, it doesn't matter where you're born, you're a German citizen. Even if your parents left Germany decades ago and never plan to return.

In the US, citizenship is a matter of birth. We don't have an official nationality in the US. We are an immigrant nation, made up of people from everywhere else. (Otherwise the only people who could really claim to be -Americans- would be Native Americans). More than half of Americans have at least one grandparent who was born in another country. In my case it's FOUR grandparents.

If you're born here to a couple who are just on vacation, and they take you home right after that, then you're not really a citizen. But if you're born to illegal immigrant parents who raise you here, you learn English, you learn our culture, go to school here, maybe even get a job here, then you are a citizen of the US and nowhere else.

And these are the people who have caused the big controversy in recent years. Both Obama and Rick Perry (Republican governor of Texas) have allowed this kind of 'illegal immigrant' to stay here, at least for now.

Yes,

people born in the United States are natural-born U.S. citizens. Doesn't matter if you or I or anybody agrees with that, it's a fact, Do we like it that pigs can't fly? Does it change anything if we like it or not?

IF U TRY THAT IN MEXICO IM PRETTY SURE U GET LOST IN THE JUNGLE AND NO ONE EVER SEES U AGAIN -- NO --- JUMPING OVER THE FENCE HAVING A BABY IN THE DESERT DOESNT MAKE U A CITIZEN --- THE WHOLE THING IS ---- MEXICO KNOWS HOW TO DEAL WITH IT
