Illegal Who Sneaked Back In to Birth ‘Anchor Baby’

Justice Alito said it best, “If anyone who sneaks into the U.S. can have a child here and (simply by the act of being born here) automatically grant that child American citizenship — with full rights and no allegiance required — then who really controls who becomes a citizen? The country or the people who break our laws to get here?”

America: the third world’s ATM, safety net, and back-up plan.
Not a country. Not a culture. Just one gigantic opportunity zone.
In arguing at the Supreme Court this month to overturn birthright citizenship, which many see as central to the country’s identity, the Trump administration asserted that the practice acts as a “powerful pull factor,” encouraging people to cross the border illegally and give birth in the United States. With a majority of justices appearing likely to uphold birthright citizenship, Ms. Acosta’s experiences reflect the often fraught choices and questions inherent in the policy.

A 27-year-old immigrant from Honduras, she and her partner had crossed the southern border in the fall, when Ms. Acosta was about six months pregnant, after being deported from the United States the previous spring. The couple knew they were taking a chance when they began their 1,700-mile journey back to the United States. But to give their first child together a chance at American citizenship — to be born on U.S. soil — they had agreed that they would do anything.

Ms. Acosta and the baby’s father, Jaime Murillo Padilla, made decisions that put themselves and their future child at risk — desperate for their son to achieve citizenship in a stable country rich with economic promise. They also encountered an immigration system ill equipped to deal with the consequences of a practice that creates strong incentives for noncitizens to have children in the United States, with detention policies and conditions that can put mothers and their babies in jeopardy.

We should simply separate the parents from the child permanently. Deport parents and kid goes into adoption, they have the right to deport with child, if the revoke the child's citizenship.

It’s not even debatable. No one can argue the intent of citizenship was to sneak in the country and have a baby. As usual, leftist filth perverts everything for political gain.

I'm at a point now, and I know this seems cold, but do exactly this.
If this stupid country can't get this right, fine, your kid is a citizen, now GTFO forever.
Alito is absolutely correct here. This incentivizes what these people are doing and you cannot argue that this was the founder's intent.

Per SFP: “The Founding Fathers should have foreseen this and explicitly stated on a document 250 years ago if they wanted to stop birthright citizenship therefore they supported it”

Jeopardy question: 60% of houselholds with illegals receive benefits because of this.................anchor babies.
Has nothing to do with being an American and everything to do with benes.
It used to be the child was sent home with the parents and could return when they were 18 if they wanted. That negated all financial benefits to the parents. Now they even have the option to leave the kid with a "sponsor" and continue to receive the benefits.

I read a "heartbreaking" story about an african who was flying to America, 8 and a half months pregnant, so her child could be born with the father. Such a tender thought. It was during covid and they banned flights and she was stuck in Europe, holding in that kid like a big turd, trying to get on a flight

Contrast that with KBJ's nonsense about stealing something in Japan and in that way having allegiance to / being under the jurisdiction of Japan. Ignoring the fact that the United States has laws against being here illegally in the first place--why aren't people who sneak in here subject to those laws first and foremost?--and in the second place, that Japan is a 'right of blood' country, meaning having a baby there doesn't mean it's a Japanese citizen by virtue of being born there. Most countries are 'right of blood'.

They are. That's what makes them "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States". If they weren't subject to that jurisdiction, then the US couldn't charge them with a crime or even deport them.

Just send them home. Again. And figure out who’s financing this, and if tax money is being used to do it.

Hondurans as a group are low IQ, lazy people. They are not the kind of immigrants we want here.
This is the woman in the story btw

Let the baby have citizenship but must deport with parents and cannot enter or stay in US until 10years old and then must have a citizen family to support them in US.. or something like that. This is only for babies with parents who are not legal citizens.
