Possible solution to "anchor baby, family-separation" bakvas issue

they have rights.

Madrasi Christian Blog,

Why should any child born in the US become a citizen? Change the law. These babies are no more Americans than their parents. I also think all school children should be required to recite the same oath that naturalized citizens do. This great experiment must not fail on our watch.

The CHILDREN have right to be in the US; the PARENTS do not, having failed (in the case of malfeasant aliens, intentionally) to fulfill the legal paperworks to do so.

See the Canadian case of Joshua Key (his child is Can-Am dual, and thus--by your "logic"--has rights in Canada; BTW, they are similar to what I already referenced, and will refresh for you).

A US-born child can (upon reaching 21st birthday, if he/she so wishes) petition to sponsor parents as "immediate relatives"--the beneficiar(y/ies) will then be scrutinised by USCIS.

BTW, I have known more than a few families who have taken US-born children to India (which DOES NOT allow full-dual citizenship)--timeframe ranging from 1962 (when the option of OCI was not available at all; btw it still is not available for children whose parents are both Indian citizens) to current--to be raised there, undermining even the tenuous foundation for your argument!

I wonder if you feel equally as adamant about the rights of unborn American babies who are put to death daily by their teenage or otherwise promiscuous mothers and fathers without the benefit of liberal advocacy; the same advocates who seem to believe in the rights of the babies of illegal homesteaders in our country who would probably have, had it not been for their mothers' not being so inclined as American women, to destroy their offspring in the womb?

Put your compassion at work where it belongs before you try to convince others of your magnificence and empathy for illegal people who sponge off the hard work of others.

How can liberals possibly complain about the costs of healthcare in this country while being completely opposed to eradicating the number 1 cause of waste in the healthcare industry: Illegal alien who are aided by the support of the very liberals who support their exploitation and overloading of our medical and healthcare systems at the cost of those who constantly complain and whine.

Why can't you people get it.

The reason your costs are so high is that others are getting away with sponging off the system that don't belong in the system.

If you want them to be able to stay here, then PAY FOR IT with high rates of insurance payments like you currently are!

You can't have it both ways.

If you are so compassionate, then continue to put your money where your mouth is...put some skin in the game.

Let the high costs of your private healthcare be your contribution to the babies of illegal aliens that you care so much about.

As I stated, there is a possible solution even with existing laws (assuming of course, rigourous enforcement of them, which unfortunately HAS NOT been in priority since Reagan's 1986 scamnesty). I will recognise your question as valid, as you probably gave it more thought than the five minutes I gave to my "solution" (even with amendments--btw, I forgot to mention, the fines are to be rigourously enforced).

The regulations on hiring illegals are the real problem in the sense that they are not enforced. Indeed, some states and cities flout those laws openly.

Without the jobs, there is no motive to come here. If one is going to be unemployed, one might as well be so in one's own country.

It's the one stop shopping solution to 90%+ of the immigration problem, and saves us the bother of this ridiculous fence to boot.
