Another major flaw in the Senate immigration bill is the failure to repeal the provision that babies born to illegal aliens in the U.S. get automatic U.S. citizenship. This is known as birthright citizenship.
Birthright citizenship is one of the media’s powerful tools to advance the Senate immigration bill. The media use young children, even babies, as showpieces, arguing that if the government does not legalize, or grant amnesty to their parents, then these children will be left without mothers and fathers if their parents are deported. It’s one sob story after another.
An example was a May 20, 2007, article in the Washington Post Style section using a color half-page photo that covered the entire upper fold of the front page with the picture of a young girl crying while being held in her mother’s arms. The photo ran with the headline “Poster Child.” It showed a March 7 photo of 2-year-old Tomasa Mendez, “crying in her mother’s arms because her father was suspected of being in the U.S. illegally…” Mendez was born here; her parents were not. Her father was taken into custody by immigration authorities for doing illegal work at a Massachusetts clothing factory that makes backpacks for U.S. military personnel. The implication however was clear–that her father, and perhaps her mother, might be deported, and the poor child would be left behind.
The Post and Illegals
Notice that the Post says her father was “suspected” of being in the U.S. illegally when there is absolutely no doubt he and his wife entered the country illegally and had this child. We can’t even expect the basic facts of the story from the Post because they tend to make the parents look bad. And sympathy for illegals is a given at this paper. The Post, of course, is the paper associated with the Philip L. Graham Fund, which provided funds to Casa de Maryland, an illegal alien support group.
The Post exploits the little girl, Tomasa, and calls her photo “iconic” of the immigration debate, rather than use photos of illegal aliens climbing over border fences, or of illegal alien terrorists that were responsible for planning terrorist attacks here on U.S. soil, or of illegal alien sex predators, or of the illegal aliens that commit crimes here in the U.S.
This is the face–a crying girl–that pro-illegal alien supporters and illegal aliens themselves are using to support their cause. The Post even claims that Tomasa has come to “symbolize” the national debate on immigration. According to the Post, “thousands of posters and fliers featuring Tomasa’s tearful visage” have been made to influence the public and Congress and that the same photo was used on “placards carried by marchers at immigrant-rights rallies from Denver to New York to Washington.”
But Tomasa is not the face of immigrant rights; she is the child of illegal aliens. Tomasa lives in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and on March 6, ICE agents raided a factory there and detained 361 workers that the Post calls “suspected of being in this country illegally,” including Tomasa’s father, Hector Mendez. The factory that the U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) raided where 361 suspected illegal aliens were working was Michael Bianco Inc.
This is not a case of innocent until proven guilty. Tomasa’s mother Dominga asked the Post to not print her last name, which is different from her husband’s, “for fear that authorities would detect her own undocumented status.” In other words, she’s an illegal, too. Dominga and Hector came to the U.S. from Guatemala six years ago, and had Tomasa on U.S. soil, making her a U.S. citizen. They are responsible for their own plight. They knowingly violated U.S. laws.
A spokesperson for ICE, Pat Reilly, responded to the Post’s insinuation that the government is to blame for the girl’s predicament. Reilly said, “You should look back to the decision the parents made in coming to this country without legal status.”
The Plan
These families knew exactly what they were doing when they came to the U.S. and had a child born on U.S. soil. And we know and understand exactly what they’re doing. For illegal immigrants, having a child born in the U.S. becomes the Golden Ticket to staying here in this country. Numbers USA calls these children of illegal alien mothers “anchor babies” because they become eligible to sponsor for legal immigration most of their relatives, including their illegal-alien mothers, when they turn 21 years of age, thus becoming the U.S. “anchor” for an extended immigrant family.
Although birthright citizenship was never intended to be the law of the land, and is a flawed interpretation of the 14th Amendment, birthright citizenship accounts for more than 380,000 children each year, born to illegal alien mothers that become citizens simply because their mothers gave birth on U.S. soil.
However, even this figure could be low. The Federation for Immigration Reform (FAIR) estimates there are between 287,000 and 363,000 children born to illegal aliens each year. These numbers are based on the crude birth rate of the total foreign-born population (33 births per 1,000) and official estimates of the size of the illegal alien population–between 8.7 and 11 million.
However, the Bear Stearns investment firm and others have concluded that the actual number of illegal aliens in the United States could be as high as 20 million. When using the higher estimate of 20 million illegal immigrants and FAIR’s 33 births per 1,000, this would roughly double FAIR’s estimate to approximately 574,000 to 726,000 anchor babies born in the U.S. each year.
Having a child born in the U.S. does not prevent the illegal alien mother or father from being deported. But this rarely occurs, especially for the illegal alien mother. Numbers USA reports that “In some cases, immigration judges make exceptions for the parents on the basis of their U.S.-born children and grant the parents legal status. In many cases, though, immigration officials choose not to initiate removal proceedings against illegal aliens with U.S.-born children, so they simply remain here illegally.”
The real solution is for the illegal alien parents to return to their native countries with their children. That avoids the potential or theoretical problem of deportation.
Focusing on another such case, Dimitri Vassilaros of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review asks, “…is there even one American standing in the way of an alien family leaving intact to return to its country of origin? Deportation threatens unity only when a foreigner would rather be here illegally than back home preserving his family. Many Americans believe in traditional family values. It’s too bad more illegals don’t.”
Illegal aliens have a child in the U.S., according to Professors Peter Schuck and Rogers Smith, because “The present guarantee under American law of automatic birthright citizenship to the children of illegal aliens can operate…as one more incentive to illegal migration and violation by nonimmigrant aliens already here [.] When this attraction is combined with the powerful lure of the expanded entitlements conferred upon citizen children and their families by the modern welfare state, the total incentive effect of birthright citizenship may well become significant.”
Exploiting America
The provision is being used by people all over the world. According to Numbers USA, “Thousands of pregnant women who are about to deliver come to the United States each year from countries as far away as South Korea and as near as Mexico so that they can give birth on U.S. soil.” These expectant mothers come either on legal travel visas or illegally across the border, but the purpose is always the same: “Once the child is born, they get a U.S. birth certificate and passport for the child, and their future link to this country is established and irreversible.”
To compound this problem, those mothers who illegally enter the U.S. to have their anchor babies have little to no health insurance. But they will not be turned away from hospitals because the law requires that they be treated. All uninsured people, regardless of citizenship, receive medical care in hospital emergency rooms under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act of 1985 (EMTALA). The act requires hospitals to treat any patient that enters an emergency room for “emergency care,” which can include anything from a cough to drug addiction to a gunshot wound to depression to being HIV-positive. The Act requires emergency rooms to treat anyone that comes in, but does not require patients to pay for their care.
Instead, the costs are passed on to the American taxpayers and those with health insurance through rising premiums. Some hospitals can’t afford the care for the illegals.
According to Marjorie Greenfield, MD, on the Dr. Spock website, in 2001 the average cost of having a baby in the U.S. ranged from $6,000 to $8,000 for a normal vaginal delivery and $10,000 to $12,000 for a cesarean birth. If the $8,000 cost is used for 2007 births, and all 380,000 babies born to illegal immigrants in the U.S. all had normal deliveries, this would cost hospitals around the country approximately $3 billion. But if there are 726,000 anchor babies born in the U.S. each year, the cost skyrockets to nearly $6 billion.
And if there are any complications with the pregnancy, or if the child is born prematurely and needs to be admitted into a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the cost rises by tens of thousands of dollars.
Illegal alien mothers aren’t the only ones benefiting. There are reports that some pregnant Mexicans are entering the U.S. for the sole purpose of giving birth and having the costs paid for by Americans. A survey conducted by the University of California found that of new Hispanic mothers in California border hospitals, 15 percent had crossed the border specifically to give birth.
Misinterpretation
It has been argued that the legal basis for birthright citizenships derives from the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Although the original intent of the 14th Amendment was to give former slaves citizenship after the Civil War including the right to due process, the Amendment has gone on to have far-reaching implications beyond the intent of the writers. The specific part that is being used to justify birthright citizenship comes from Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment which states, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.”
The question though is whether illegal aliens are “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Illegal aliens do not have the right to vote in federal elections, do not have to register for the draft, and do not pay taxes, unlike American citizens, because they are foreign nationals living within the borders of the United States. However, supporters of birthright citizenship claim that the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States has no real meaning and is just another way of saying “born in the United States.” For illegal alien supporters, they believe the Fourteenth Amendment requires that any child born on U.S. soil be granted U.S. citizenship.
However, as Numbers USA points out, scholars “have looked to the original Senate debate over the Fourteenth Amendment to determine its meaning. They conclude that the authors of the Fourteenth Amendment did NOT want to grant citizenship to every person who happened to be born on U.S. soil.”
Numbers USA concludes that “The jurisdiction requirement was added to the original draft of the Fourteenth Amendment by the Senate after a lengthy and acrimonious debate. In fact, Senator Jacob Merritt Howard of Michigan proposed the addition of the phrase specifically because he wanted to make clear that the simple accident of birth in the United States was not sufficient to justify citizenship…Sen. Howard said that ‘this will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.’”
Even though it is a misinterpretation of a Constitutional amendment passed almost 40 years ago, the Supreme Court has never decided the issue. According to Numbers USA, the closest the Supreme Court has come to ruling on the matter was “a case involving the U.S.-born child of lawful permanent residents in which, of course, it held the child to be a U.S. citizen.” Therefore, without a ruling by the Supreme Court, or congressional action to end this practice, the status quo remains and anyone born on U.S. soil even though their mother is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States will continue to be given citizenship.
Time for Action
The practice of birthright citizenship has been all but done away with in the industrial world. According to the New York Times, in June, 2004, Ireland, which was the last country in the European Union to still grant citizenship to anyone born in the country regardless of where the parents come from, overwhelmingly approved a plan to do away with a constitutional provision granting automatic Irish citizenship to any child born in Ireland. The United Kingdom, which has struggled with a growing Muslim and Southeast Asian population, ended birthright citizenship in 1981. Due to immigration pressures, it restricted birthright citizenship to requiring that one parent be a legal resident.
Rep. Nathan Deal (R-GA) introduced H.R. 1940, the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007, which would eliminate birthright citizenship for the children born to illegal aliens in the United States by limiting the granting of such citizenship to the children of: U.S. citizens or nationals; lawful permanent resident aliens residing in the United States; and aliens performing active service in the armed forces. On April 19, 2007 the bill was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. The bill has only 46 co-sponsors in the U.S. House, listed here.
No “reform” of the immigration system will be complete without the provisions of the Deal bill becoming law. But the media, led by the illegal alien-supporting Washington Post, will fight any such change every step of the way.

we are already a third world have you been to miami or south texas why are we still giving citizenship to foreigners with 20 million illegals and all having 4 to 5 children and amnesty aroung the corner with each undocumented want to reunite their families lets see 20 x at least 5 members to each person forget open the borders erase the plan for the wall forget american culture we are dead
SUCK DICK
Yeah, let them take their kids back to their home countries, right? That way they can get kidnapped and prostituted to AMERICAN TOURISTS as is often the case in some of those countries. Heck, if they’re lucky they might even get smuggled back into the US and sold to some rich pedophile.
Think about it.
Now, do you realize there is a reason some deported parents would rather be away from their AMERICAN children? The crime rate in some of these countries is unbeliveable.
Look at your children as if they had black hair and brown eyes for just a second. What WOULDN’T you do for your kids?
I may have taken a different stance on this a few years ago, but I’ve met enough white trash and have seen so many different places that I realized that there are no bad guys. Just people who won’t give up, and others who can’t learn to share. Honestly, you don’t know #### until you’ve seen the way some of these people live.
Look the US economic right now ( not good at all) There is more than $ 40, 340, 866, 575 ( US DOLLAR) flew to Mexico since 2006 till NOW. And it keeps growth about $1,500 every Second!! They rob this country indeed. While we have been giving them very big support for their family here ( Free baby delivery cost, free food/ milk/ medicine for their babIES)! Soon or later this country will be UNITED STATES of AMEXICO, but the point is not the name of the country, Will this country will have the same wealth/ well being in the future? ( soon). Most of them, has about 4 or five new born babies within 6/ 7 years period of time. They make a baby like a “machine”, to be honest nobody know exactly how many illegal mexican here. Because is no tool can count their total.
Operation Wetback No! Operation Go Back Yes! Sign Our Petition
Hi I am a former Army National Guard soldier and I have a petition at OperationGoBack.com, would your sign my petition? Can you also ask others you know to sign my petition too? I need 2 million legal American to sign my petition. We must reverse this illegal invasion of illegal people into our country!
Can you help me increase that Illegal Exodus?Back to Mexico to an even larger number by signing our petition to send back all illegal alien invaders from our country? Because The SPAM Group will take another bite at the apple of “American Citizenship by any means necessary and Legalize Our Illegals Agenda. (The SPAM Group means The Spanish People Advocacy Movement Group) They are pushing a “The Race” or La Raza” agenda which is against the well being of the legal American citizens. It has been proven that their MAIN agenda is to create through political manipulation and what I call “False Arguments of Illegal Immigration, create a DUAL SPANISH/ENGLISH speaking America. Our founders are turning over in their graves. We can not let this happen. “Now is the time for ALL GOOD MEN to come to the AID of this country!”
Soon Illegal Alien Invaders will be granted AMNESTY (legal) status by DEFAULT! Because Legal Americans DID NOTHING to stop them. Have you ever been summoned to court to answer a charge, but you didn’t show up to defend your self and make your case, so the other party WON BY YOUR DEFAULT? That’s what’s happening now in this country! In just a little while Illegal Alien Invaders will get;
? AMNESTY (Legal Status) By YOUR DEFAULT!
There is only one question that all legal Americans must answer, and answer now. This question is also the MANDATE for the next president of the United States. We must get ready to sit 2 Million plus signatures on his desk, with the answer to this question. Yes the number is high because this issue is that important, and we have 300 Million plus legal people in America:
? Should illegal alien invaders stay here illegally in America and gain LEGAL AMNESTY status by DEFAULT (American’s Inaction) or should they Go Back?
Sign our petition to send illegal alien invaders back, we need 2 Million
Legal Americans to step forth and sign our petition, then ask everyone
you know to sign and ask them to tell their friends and family to sign
our petition too, that means everyone on your contact list.
Why? Because absolutely no one is telling these illegal alien invaders
to Go Back to their country, so they SQUAT illegally in our neighborhoods!
To Sign the Go Back Petitions go here:

Sure Richie, let’s all sign the petition as long as you promise you will work the land and will wake up each and every morning at 4 to get to the fields!
It is ignorant people like you that are starting riots to deport illegal immigrants without giving them an option to do it the legal way. I understand we need to do something about our Immigration however your suggestion is simply stupid as it wouldn’t solve anything.
My father was in the airforce for 11 years, he served our country and I am a born US Citizen and proud to be one! and I pay my TAXES! I am also Mexican and can understand why “our” people would want to come to America to work! I’m surprised you think those “illegal alien invaders” come and do nothing when they are the ones that do most of the LABOR WORK in the US!
Wake up and smell the coffee, stop this racisim! And why just the “Mexicans”??? we have so many illegal immigrants that are not Mexican, they come from everywhere around the world! The Philipines, Cuba, you name it!
Again, our country needs to come up with a solution to solve this problem but don’t blind your self thinking that by getting rid of all illegals will solve the problem because it WON’T!
Your petition is not the answer to this problem and again, Mexicans shouldn’t be the only one’s being targeted!
illegal spics are mexico’s niggers.
there are 50/60 million illegal mexcrements in the usa. go to any walmart in any state.
the repubs sold out this country.
You are racists! None of you are “legal citizens” of America! The only true American citizens are the Native Americans!! We ALL immigrated to this country! I don’t know who you think you are, calling immigrants derogatory names (I’m sure you don’t even know the meaning of that word!)
And to talk about culture! Our culture is dead and has been for decades! Tell me what kind of culture is constant BUY,BUY, BUY? Tell me what kind of culture is listening to an ipod all day, playing video games all day, staring at computer monitors all day, and not knowing where Japan is on a fucking map!??? THAT is who YOU are! You racists pigs who think you are true American Citizens! You are a bunch of dolts and have no idea about the world or anything else besides your chevy trucks and your sky television! You have no identity as an American. You are scum and have no right to judge people in who come to the U.S. who are just trying to earn some money because the governments in their countries are corrupt. They don’t want to live among you motherfuckers and your stupidity, they just want to earn some money and return to their countries.
You are all STUPID RACISTS!
we white scum do not want to pay for illegal spic’s babies. the spics don’t give a #### about the usa , but only the free services they can get. it takes stupid greedy welfare mentality spics to bring babies, 3/5 to a family when this country is broke. look at mexifornia. Mexico doesn’t even care for it’s own. spics bring crime and debt to america.
#### ALL YOU SPICS. GET OUT. GO BACK TO YOUR SHITHOLE COUNTRY.
spics only bring crime and debt to america. their culture of living 10 to a house,illiteracy,large welfare families,etc is not wanted here,
time to deport the welfare spics.
too bad we can’t deport the niggers.
Get rid of all illegals including the brats they had here. I am so sick of our stupid government catering to them. Obama’s aunt has been in the country since 2002 illegally; get her butt out of here too. Ya think our idiot president will deport his aunt? He won’t do a darn thing about illegals because he is one himself and if he orders all them deported then he has to leave too! Get him out of here too. I won’t miss him one bit.
Hey there Sure, how many options do you think the Mexican government would give us if we invaded their country and took from them? ABSOLUTELY NONE! If you want to support all these lazy lying law breaking people that is fine with me but I am sick of seeing them get everything when legal born American citizens can’t get any help when they need it. The Mexicans are targeted because they are the ones who take and take from our government. Asian people come here and work, they don’t collect welfare etc like the Mexicans do.
And What!?; these lazy Mexicans could care less about you, they are just happy that they can get what they want out of hardworking taxpayers and laugh all the way to the bank at all of us idiots that let them take advantage of us.
It’s hard to see a mexican female under 25 that isn’t pregnant.
the welfare anchor baby payments might end soon.
Thanks for the post, really very informative post for all the readers.
we illegals thank the americans for supporting our families during this depression.
Alot of these immigrants are not only mexicans.
Wow. Somehow I’m not surprised that the people damning all the Mexicans to hell can’t use proper grammar or punctuation. As for this site’s claim of “balanced” and “accurate” reporting, there is a subtle twinge of redneck-ery. I do agree that there should be tougher immigration laws regarding automatic citizenship to U.S. born babies, but using derogatory terms doesn’t exactly add credence to your case. I mean the N-word? Jesus, what year is it?
I`m getting really annoyed with people crying “racist” just because some concerned americans want to cut back the number of spics.Do you overemotional bleedin hearts not realize the social and economic impact of all these spics? Being anti-migration is not about being racist or insensitive,its about recognizing the real reason why these spics are here and who,in both american and spic government,is to blame.Any country has the right to have effective migration policies in place.Look at what happens without them.Look at how the african niggers have displaced the white britons in the UK,its appalling.
just look how broke mexifornia is. yet the spics keep on pumping out more welfare babies. they don’t have a clue or give a damn that this whole country might go under.
remember the alamo.
We should not make this a racial issue. The bottom line is that the US can no longer be an open door for anyone in the world to have a child on American soil and be considered an American citizen if at least 1 parent is not a US citizen. Other countries know that their people can come here, have kids for free in our hospitals and automatically make them American citizens. If you lived on the border of Mexico or lived in say Serbia and had the chance to have your child in the US and be an automatic citizen (with medical care paid by the US) would you not do it? Most would. Time to close this ‘loophole’ in how this works.
Ok, I have to start by saying to the people who think this is ok, cause these peoples coountries are so horrible to raise children, tell them “DONT HAVE BABIES!!!!” If its SOOO horrible in your country, use a freaking condom. Don’t expect American’s to foot the bill for your “anchor baby”. Enter the country the way you are supposed to, then start a F-ing family. It makes me so mad that these are the issues in this country. Our economy is so bad as it is, stop adding to our spending on illegal’s.
Umm, people need to learn what they are talking about. Unless you are part of a particular culture you don’t know ####. First of all I am part Asian and we have undesirable people in our culture as well. Some of us who are well off and own our own business (like restaurants) use government assistance to pay for things like food that is served in the restaurants. Yes, a lot of us bust our ass, but we take just like everyone else if we can. It is embarrassing to say and just because a lot more of us are successful it doesn’t make those actions okay. You’d be surprised. Why would my friend’s aunt need housing assistance from the government while she and her husband drive a Lexus? Their daughter, my friend’s cousin drives a BMW. Trust me, there are people of every race who take. I live in California so I know about the issue of illegal immigration and I feel that the laws are plain and simple. You must be here legally or you face deportation. We are overrun with human beings who are here illegally. Not just Mexicans, but Vietnamese, Filipinos, and some Europeans even. Honestly, in this job market sending back all illegal aliens would make sense; it shouldn’t be something we dread. Between all the unemployed Americans and the LEGAL immigrants we have here the unemployment issue would be solved.
Oh, and I understand people have pride in their race, but making stupid comments about other races is uncalled for. Everyone has people in their race who are lazy or who struggle to make a living. It is so easy to generalize about other races to make themselves feel better. It takes someone honest to look at their own race and see where improvements need to be made. Hardly ever hear anyone do that. NO RACE IS PERFECT. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
WOW!!I have never heard so many disgusting things said in the name of patriotism. This should not be an argument about race, however, three-quarters of the arguments agains immigrants, or illegal immigrants are very racially aware. For those people, that means you are racist, and for those who are not racist and share their side, these people are hurting your argument. The only true Americans are the Native Americans, everyone else are descended from immigrants. As for the comments about our president, you uneducated, racist, bigots, he is our president now so get used to it. there are facts that you can look up, so LOOK THEM UP! otherwise, you just sound illiterate. The people who make those racist comments and show their lack of education, make it embarrassing to admit we share the same nationality.Instead of blaming all of your problems on illegals, why don’t you all go to school and get an education? Maybe then you wouldn’t be fighting over the gutter jobs that the illegals seem to be “taking”.
We, about 100, work dayly to make illegal aliens and imployers of illegal aliens lives a living nightmare. Also 20+ year old anchor babies in the jail systems are tageted too. We get results.
There is nothing we have not done to get results.
Illegal aliens have made America the dumping ground for all their illegal alien children, then we have to school them and give them free medical care.

How can you ILLEGALLY enter this Country and be rewarded with the precious gift of U.S. citizenship for a crime that the ILLEGAL ALIEN has committed by ILLEGALLY trespassing onto this Country. It makes no sense to me.
I for one, am sick and tired of these ILLEGAL ALIENS snubbing their nose at our immigration laws and the many other laws of this Country. If our Federal Government can not ENFORCE our immigration laws, and get these ILLEGAL ALIENS out of this Country, then let the States do it! One way or another, an end has to come to this illegal immigration, and not with AMNESTY! Amnesty will only encourage more ILLEGAL ALIENS to invade our Country and reward those who broke our laws and raped the American taxpayer in many ways…depressing our wages, taking our jobs, overwhelming our schools with their ILLEGAL ALIEN children, driving without a license or car insurance, all the crime from stolen identities to rape, drugs and everything else.
It’s time for ZERO TOLERENCE with these ILLEGAL ALIENS. It’s time for them get out of this Country and back in their own Country where they belong. When we get rid of the ILLEGAL ALIENS, we will get rid of all the problems that go with them. THAT IS A FACT!
You ignorant racists:
- We do pay taxes. Every single time we buy something, and out of every paycheck. Taxes are as unavoidable as death.
- We pay into your social security (But we can never, ever collect)
- We help build your houses, your highways, your shopping malls, your childrens schools.
- We harvest your food.
- We helped build america with our hands too.
Everybody here in an immigrant. You want to call us names and kick us out ?
Dear Mark
You already forgot the most important thing
The people that were here before and built this country got her LEGALLY.
First of all who has the right to say americans are better than anyone?! What gives you the right to say they dont have family values? Can you imagine how hard it would be to leave your home country, family, freinds and life to go somewhere for maybe a year to 10 years. Without seeing anything you cherish most just to send money home so your family could have a half decent life? No you wouldnt know how hard that is because you live in America, a place that its SUPPOSED to be better, where people are free… None of us chose where we were going to be born. And secound, I am SO tiard of people trying to blame illigal aliens for the way america is today, GUESS WHAT WE ALL LIVE HERE. Maybe if some of us dead beats would get up off the couch and claim some responsibility for the shape America is in then hey who knows maybe it would actually get better.
Resources like the one you mentioned here will be very useful to me! I will post a link to this page on my blog. I am sure my visitors will find that very useful..

I can see that you are putting a lot of time and effort into your blog and detailed articles! I am deeply in love with every single piece of information you post here. Will be back often to read more updates!
Fucking mexicans
What a well written great piece of information. I remember that I was looking for something like this from a couple of months. I am glad that I found my way here by coincidence!
they want this country and the only way you can have this country its over my dead body fuckin mexicans
Excuse me, Mark (Sept 30). You did not build my house (I know for a fact it was built by Americans), and you did not build all the roads… when my father was a teen he worked construction for two years building roads and bridges before going to college. Today if my son wanted to build roads and bridges he would have to take Spanish classes and compete with illegals who are willing to work a lower wage—not going to happen. And I am not ignorant. My daughter got involved with one of the “anchor babies” mentioned in this article, and now I am the grandfather of a half-mexican baby. The “anchor-baby” father is 19 and refuses to move out of his parents house. He refuses to serve in the military which is his best option to take care of his common-law wife and baby. Do you know why he won’t serve? Because his illegal father doesn’t want him to. See, they need him to stick around for another 2 years and lay low until his 21st birthday so he can sponsor Mom and Dad to finally become citizens. And in case you are wondering, the illegal father does not harvest our food or build our houses either… he washes cars for a dealership. And the illegal mother, she doesn’t work, and also refuses to speak English. Kinda difficult to have a good relationship with my daughter’s “in-laws” when I know they are in this country illegally and are a drain to so many public resources (as well as mine). For what it’s worth, they live near Dallas, and I am a 22 year Air Force veteran born in Illinois.
I just wanted to thank you very much for this enlightening article. I have already bookmarked your site!
it discusts me the ignorance i see on here, wouldnt u do anything you could to get a better life for your child? And I don’t know who you people have been talking to but my son is mexican american, born in Washington state, I am on dissability for a disease in my legs. my wonderfull husband who is from mexico ((Who raised our son and cooked and cleaned when i was at my worst for Two Years!))HE CANNOT GET A GREEN CARD HERE!!! and he has never broken any law! We are married and our son is 5! THEY WILL NOT LET HIM COME!!! IT DOESNT WORK LIKE THAT PEOPLE!!! you sound so ignorant and people like you is the reason the world is going to hell
YOU ARE IN NO WAY PROMISED CITIZENSHIP BECAUSE YOU HAD A BABY HERD YOU STUPID IDIOTS!!! MOST OF THE TIME THE PARENTS ARE SENT HOME WITHOUT THEIR CHILDREN!!!I HAVE A KID WITH A MEXICAN THAT WANTS NOTHING ELSE IN THE WORLD THAN TO WORK TO SUPPORT US (here or in mexico)!!! AND HE CANNOT EVEN GET A GREENCARD EVEN THO WE R MARRIED! THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WOULD RATHER PAY ALL MY BILLS AND HEALTH CARE AND RENT FOR ME AND MY SON THAN LET HIS FATHER STAY AND WORK TO SUPPORT US!
WE ARE ALL IMMIGRANTS RETARDS!
How can people hate someone else because of where they were born? I am pregnant with a mexicans child, and I am PROUD to be with him. It does not matter to me that he does not have a card saying he can be here. I would rather be with him ( a man that loves me and his unborn child, does not abuse me physicaly or mentally, and does any job he has to to support me) then be with an abusive, lazy, cheating American!!!! If the american’s in this country would stop blaming mexicans and do something, everything might be better in this country. But no, they would rather blame someone that is working their asses off at jobs that dont pay, that the lazy americans dont want to do. Taxes come out of every paycheck they get, and they get taxed everytime they buy anything. So stop putting blame on others and prove that YOU are worthy enough to be an “american”!!!!!!

I am purely amazed at the sheer ignorance of nearly every person who has posted to this site. First and foremost every person who walks on the soil of this corrupt big business run country who is going through a huge case of pussification was indeed at one time an illegal immigrant.
Our founding fathers that laid the original ground work for this country who claimed to be the founders of the ?New Americas? where illegal aliens and they exploited, killed, raped and pillaged the only people who could have every truly claimed legal citizenship in this country.
Then we forcefully brought over millions of Africans to our country because we where to lazy to do the back breaking labor our selves. Yes there where Americans who would have and did gladly perform these jobs themselves however there where not enough of us ?Americans? to support our exports let alone our own insatiable needs.
Our country has been an importer of immigrants for hundreds of years. With out them half of us Americans who claim to be real Americans and have true rights to America would be homeless, hungry, and without clothes our lawns would be overgrown, there would be no schools, shopping centers, or roads (yes I understand that everything was not built by foreigners buy about 70% was and is look it up). Face fact whether you like it or not this country was built on the back of the illegal and legal immigrants of which we are all.
However to enter this country illegally and give birth on American soil of which you have no legal status does not give illegals the right to gain legal residence. That is an abomination of the original intent of the birth right clause. You should be deported forcefully if needed you are taking advantage of our medical, educational, social, and financial well being. Half the money you make is sent to your country of origin to support your extended families of which does not get put back into the American economy.
I encourage all of you who have posted to this page to do a little research and look deeper into the problem instead of taking a side wholeheartedly we do need immigration it helps our country as well as the world economy but we need people who pay into the system what they get out of it of which we are having a huge problem with.
And to all of you who are sending out racist remarks to all illegals and legals whom you feel are illegal once you have completed your research you will find that there is a rather large population of white American born citizens who rape the benefits of our system who do not pay into the system what they take.
Well I think that there should be a slightly different law for the illegals, for e.g the government should give the birth citizenship right to the legals only. You can also check my ideas on auto insurance by state site.
If you love them so much, then let the nasty people come live with you and then you’d change your tunes. I’m so sick of hearing we’re all immigrants. It’s a proven fact that most of the so called third world countries are dark skinned people. I’m Scandanavian and proud of it. All the Latinas do is spread their legs with everyone and get pregnant. Their taking over around here and act as if they own the place. The Latinas are nasty, skanky azz ho’s!! They come here have babies and shack up with different men and keep reproducing like cockroaches. And for the stupid azz that said americans rape and steal ugly little mexican babies. Sorry, their own people do that ####. YOU KNOW NOTHING about Mexico and how corupt their government is. Go down there and see how well they treat you idiot!!!
Yes, if he came illegally, then he will be deported, since he is a criminal and will retain that criminal record forever.Every country in the whole world does this for its own protection, because he was violating their national laws and borders when he went there illegally, without applying and identifying himself through normal government channels. Safety
I ws born while my mother was on a tourist visa, she went back to Mexico and has never spent more than ten days at a time in the US ever since. I on the other hand, came back for college, been working for ten years and have a B.B.A and MBA…..If I go back to “where I came from”, will the government forgive my student loans? please say yes, $80,000 for an education i could’ve gotten for $10,000 in Europe is just stupid. Can I go back home? I will gladly take my stuff and leave.
Sorry to not include you invaders from a third world country as having any legal rights to anything in the USA. You starve in your own country because you multiply like dogs at the start of puberty. Like any kind of animal you enter our country to get free welfare and jobs which pay more than professionals earn in your own third world country. You are like en endless line of open mouths wanting to be fed. How many babies to each family ? 5 -10 ? How many times do I see a 16 year old Mexican girl with a baby ? We need a big #### rake to filter out all of you Mexican open mouths who are not legal. I will support the AZ bill and anything like it. Cry Racism like the disease you are. You have no rights to be here and should be arrested and deported to the #### hole called Mexico. Yea American Corporations import cheap corn and screw up the farmers. Gather your Guns and fight the Wealthy who allow your country screw you. The Mexicans know how to exploit a free American Lunch and Dinner. I have been to Mexico and it is a #### hole. BUT THEY MULTIPLY LIKE DOGS EVEN IF THERE ARE NO JOBS. Let them fight for freedom there or die. An Engineer in Mexico makes about 15k out of school. Why get an education when you can just climb a fence and make more doing simple tasks. Start by killing all of the drug lords. They are here to GET whatever they can so they can quickly MULTIPLY. I’m sure the same can be said to all Illegals. Yes those starving black babies are still in need of food 20 years ago and today. Perhaps if the males had their balls cut off there would be no starving black babies. You have too much population for the resources but they just want to multiply like dogs.
I mean Export corn not import. What would be the standard of living if China and India were allowed in ? Their standard of living will come to be our standard of living. I expect the least educated to produce the most offspring just like an animal.
Oh please “Safety” you have no intention of going to a country which your salary would probably be $4 an hour when you can make much much more here. If you go to Mexico you would not be concerned about USA debt but who wants to go ? NOT YOU !
Mistake, “Safety” should be “same as yours” sorry.
[...] turn 21 years of age, thus becoming the U.S. “anchor” for an extended immigrant family, notes Andy Selepak of Accuracy in [...]
these mexicans come here illegaly!! plain and simple. come here the proper way!! instead of coming here and having anchor babies to try and stay here.
in the old days, immigrants would come here wanting to live in the U.S. and want to be an american, live free, learn english. but you mexicans want to come here and demand that you be taught in your own language in schools! and demand that this countries laws be changed just to suit you being here! and demand affirmitave actions in various situations! when you come in this country legally and obtain american citizenship, then you may protest about laws, demand this and that. until then you have NO right to demand anything!!! you show no respect to this country whe youre first foot across the border is an illegal one….i dont care how hard you want come here and work or your family this and that or whatever… simply put, dont come here demanding stuff when you dont even have the legal right to be here!
Firstly, those who think they are not being racist, and yet are using terms such as “spics” and “niggers”, you are completely ignorant and guess what… you ARE racist. If it were just about undocumented versus documented immigrants, use such terms instead of ignorant, racist terms. Sure the dominant undocumented group NOW are Mexican, but don’t ever forget the periods of times when those very same “scum” of America were the Chinese, the Japanese, the Irish, the Italians, the Jewish, and the list goes on to include every single group of people. Even the WASPs were at one point persecuted just for being who they are (i.e. why America began in the first place, as a refuge from the persecution in England). So before you point the finger to who deserves respect and who doesn’t, don’t forget where YOU come from!
Secondly, to anyone who thinks America doesn’t take anything from countries, such as Mexico, PLEASE get real! Read up on our country’s actions and history before you make such comments! America sucks the life out of the Mexican economy, which is the very reason they are so poor and must come to America to make a living. Ever heard of a little thing called NAFTA? America forced Central American countries into signing this agreement, solely for its economic benefit. Whereas in the past Mexicans could make a living on agriculture, which was the main source of income, after signing the agreement there was absolutely no way they could afford to compete with America. America exploited the countries buying out every farm it could get its hands on, leaving the people largely unemployed. What option could they possibly have if any chance of an opportunity in their home countries are demolished by American businesses and their own terrible government? What exactly would YOU do?
Thirdly, everyone is so easy to point the finger to the migrants coming in, but the real problem is within ourselves! Instead of blaming the immigrants looking for a way to support their families at home, how about you blame the American companies that LITERALLY recruit those abroad and help them immigrate illegally. American businesses covet cheap labor. They feel they need them to beat out fast growing markets such as those in China. What would they do without the multitude of people willing to work for astonishing low wages and little to no benefits!? Imagine if they actually had to pay each individual they hired minimum wage and provide them with some kind of health insurance and vacations!! Impossible, which is why they turn to undocumented immigrants, whom they can abuse with the assurance that with any complaint they could threaten to call INS.
Sure, what the undocumented immigrants are doing is illegal coming to the United States, but if you want to change ANYTHING the change has to come from within. Put the pressure on AMERICAN business to not abuse the poor abroad, whom they know will do anything for some money.
And sorry this was so long, but I cannot stand to see such ignorance on such important topics. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions but lets look at the facts to build them, shall we?

Yes there is a huge immigration issue in this country. To start not all people who originally came to the US were illegal. My relatives decided to come here legally and make a better life…Not all undocumented citizens are bad people. Hell our economy uses them for the cheap manual labor that US citizens won’t take. We did kill the Indians off… US citizens also abuse the privileges given to them…Yes they are granted these rights being citizens… ICE needs to crack down first on undocumented citizens with criminal records and then we can talk about immigration reform. But a working immigration system is not plausible, very similar to the war on drugs.
Illegal aliens try to confuse the issue by calling those of us racist who oppose their illegal way to get into this country. Racism is not the reason.
Their illegal action of violating our borders blatantly and then demonstrating about their rights is what causes the resentment.
They come into the country unauthorized and unchecked. They bring diseases, which we have worked to eradicate. Anyone ever heard of drug-resistant TB ?Guess where that came from ? Or even the Plague cases ? This thing needs to be fixed; amnesty is not the answer, it only encourages more people to come here illegally. Why not impose sanctions on their corrupt governments who take no interest whatever in their own citizens ?
Most of us have nothing against immigrants, but please, respect our laws and
immigrate LEGALLY.
Wow! I am totally American, going back to the Native Americans. I am against ILLEGAL immigration. But after reading some of the comments here, I feel sick.
Illegal immigration is a legitimate concern to all Americans, but when we begin making racist comments we undermine ourselves.
We focus on the illegal Mexican immigrants not because of the color of their skin, but because they make up the majority of illegals in this country. I personally, focus on them because this country isn’t being turned into “little Canada”
most illegals do not pay taxes. They claim 7 dependents on their W2′s and pay little if any taxes.
Yes, they do take a lot of crappy jobs I don’t want, but in this economy any job is better than no job. They also take jobs with pay I’d love to have. They receive full scholorships to colleges like Harvard.
And what about their us born children? They have a legal right to jobs my kids, grandkids want. But they are minorities so they’ll be hired before my kids. Not fair.
Have you checked out want-ads lately? More and more say “bi-lingual” preferred. That leaves me out.
I am an over the road truck driver, every where I go, every state, it’s a problem. Many times I have a difficult time doing my job because the peron I’m dealing with barely speaks English.
My granddaughters father is illegal. It would tear apart the family if he is deported. But he knew the risk when he crossed that border.
Mexico is a horrible place, I’ve heard the stories. I couldn’t emagine living in such a place. I can’t blame them for coming here any way they can. But instead of coming here and changing our country, GO HOME AND FIX YOUR COUNTRY
All this comments are fueled with ignorance hate and racism.
Immigration is an obvious result of a series of social-economical factors in Latin America that U.S.A have been directly involved in a rather negative way slowing down these countries economical growth, taking advantage of their corrupted governments (created by colonial mentality rooted in these cultures)to impose and control economies on its favor.
The answer to immigration problems is in U.S.A’s hands, reviewing carefully immigration laws, promoting sensible trade, penalizing employers who hire illegal immigrants (paying them salaries below average rate), etc.
U.S.A has to take its hands of Latin America and for their citizens well being tidy up the mess.

The debate about the meaning of the citizenship clause overlooks a more fundamental problem. The Fourteenth Amendment was never legally adopted.
After the Civil War, it was proposed by a “Rump” Congress in which only 25 of the 36 States then in the Union were represented. Eleven Southern States were shut out of this rogue body. Thus, the Fourteenth Amendment was never proposed by a legitimate Congress.
Ten of the eleven Southern States then refused to ratify it. So the necessary three-fourths majority was not achieved. The illegal Congress responded by “reconstructing” these ten States and subjecting them to the absolute control of five Army Generals. Their subsequent “ratifications” were a sham. Governments erected by an illegal congress and subjected to military control have no power to ratify a constitutional amendment. Consequently, there is no legal clause in the Constitution that gives automatic citizenship to children of illegal immigrants.

You are so stupid, you racist… you don´t know a thing…
I live in Mexico and I spend most of my money in the US… and guess what? the tax I pay never returns…. and guess what… I am not the only one… thousands of people do the sasme… what happens to that money??
and so happens to all the illegal immigrants that live in the US and pay taxes with every purchase and don´t receive their money back…
Just remember that the US is made of immigrants… the only real Americans are the Indians and Us… because this land (California) belonged to us.
why is it against the law to shoot criminal invaders on sight? If someone broke into our home and took our money against our will; pushed us out of our homes; made us support their bambinos; teach them to speak American; wouldn’t we have the right to defend our heritage and property? If it weren’t for the corrupt politicians, specifically Nancy Lagosi and Dirty Harry Reid and, our muslim, communist, socialist half breed dictator, we would be able to do what ever was necessary to rid ourselves of this infestation take over of our country.
Puerto Ricans are just as bad as Mexicans when it come to punching out babies that the US taxpayers will certainly pay for.
Our lawmakers pretend this isn’t going on but what can you expect from fools like Dick Cheney who said that “Budget deficits don’t matter”. We are now seeing the huge drag on our budget that illegals pose and budget deficits run up the borrowing from China to stay affloat.

‘Anchor Babies’ Congress Grapples Making Illegal Immigrants, Illegal
WASHINGTON – In January 2011, The House will be in Republican hands. In a few weeks, Congress will no longer be trying to help illegal immigrants to be legal. The debate will shift to the meaning of the 14th amendment to the constitution. Does the constitutional citizenship include children born to parents who are in the country illegally?

Allisha, drop the warm fuzzy feeling. They DON”T have family values. A Latina will screw anything with a penis!!!
hahaha! All you racists are more than a little mentally challenged. I am MEXICAN and I am a 20 year old, LIGHT SKINNED (i pass for “white”), BLONDE HAIRED, GIRL. I have never gotten pregnant, never even gone to a free clinic for a check up. My parents were born here and when my grandparents came here in the 40′s… they were never lazy. They were business owners whose business still thrive and that plenty of AMERICANS still take use of today. I am educated and fortunate enough to be able to pay for college with the help of non-government scholarships and my hard working dad.. who, by the way, is legally employed by the government. NONE of you racists have the right to say you in any way, shape, or form, DESERVE your “legal” citizenship. You probably don’t even know the pledge of allegiance which states “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the REPUBLIC FOR WHICH IT STANDS ONE NATION under GOD INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL.”
I’ve been having a ball reading all these ridiculous comments especially the one with the daughter who slept with a Mexican… hey was she raped? because last time i checked, it takes two to tango. I’ve managed to not get knocked up by a Mexican and they’re all around me… You have to blame your daughter as much as her Mexican baby daddy. Honestly, his being Mexican has nothing to do with your problems. Own up.
SO anyway.. being Mexican in California has given me the opportunity to meet many different wonderful races and many different wonderful and not so wonderful people. Let me tell ya, my best friend is white and has a baby! haha how funny and I know HUNDREDS of mexican girls 20 and over with no kids whatsoever, some do, but they’re not all the same. Gotta admit, some white girls are trashier than the Mexicans and viceversa. Go out and experience the world.. it’s pretty nice outside your small bubble of a brain.
It’s so amusing the way most of you seem to indulge in being ignorant and stupid by thinking that Mexicans are all the same… hey if you white people are all the same.. you should all be locked up like your other fellow white people.. You know all those serial killers you’ve heard of on E! true hollywood story? because statistics show they do tend to be white males with a lower to middle class background. Oh and once you’re all locked up… you’re going to be the ones taking OUR tax money. FUNNY. Oh and you know what else is funny?? The Mexicans I know who don’t have citizenship.. are the hardest working ones.. they are the ones with 4.0 GPAS and those who graduate at the top of their class. How is that possible? Well when you aren’t bitching about who you don’t want to share a citizenship with you actually TRY at life. No one is stopping you from going to college so stop finding Mexican scapegoats.
Either way you can all be as mad as you want because this country is progressing. This new generation.. our new generation (all young people not just mexicans) is open and loving and smart. Whether you all like it or not.. there are fewer and fewer of you as the years go by because your type of mentality is becoming a rejected minority. The world is progressing and even if you don’t like it.. you’re all just going to be left behind, bitching to yourselves, refusing to progress with the rest of us. Good Luck to ya though ;D
[...] $6 Billion a Year for Mexican “Anchor Babies?” By: Andy Selepak | June 5, 2007 Another major flaw in the Senate immigration bill is the failure to repeal the provision that babies born to illegal aliens in the U.S. get automatic U.S. citizenship. This is known as birthright citizenship. Birthright citizenship is one of the media’s powerful tools to advance the Senate immigration bill. The media use young children, even babies, as showpieces, arguing that if the government does not legalize, or grant amnesty to their parents, then these children will be left without mothers and fathers if their parents are deported. It’s one sob story after another. $6 Billion a Year for Mexican “Anchor Babies?” [...]
First of all, just to set the record straight, while the majority of the people in this country are descended from immigrants, we are NOT ourselves immigrants, as suggested above.
Secondly, most of us descended from LEGAL immigrants, or from people who came here before any immigration laws were passed.
It is ILLEGAL immigration that is at issue, not immigration itself. This country’s immigration policy still allows for immigration, but with some restrictions.
We are a nation of laws, and the primary purpose of our laws is to protect the people of this country. I have no problem whatsoever with Mexicans immigrating to this country, as long as it’s done legally. I do believe that we, as a country, have the authority to decide what kind of people we’re going to allow to immigrate. I doubt that many of those involved in the drug trade, or in the street gangs that are spreading across this country would qualify for legal immigration – and we have enought of the home-grown variety!
In the past, immigrants from virtually every country in the world were welcomed here. Many that came were the poor and unskilled. They contributed to the economy of the country, because there was a real need for unskilled labor.
However, the job market in this country has changed dramatically, and the demand for unskilled, illiterate labor has diminished. A very large percentage of illegals today will end up as welfare recipients, or as criminals. The employable honest Mexicans could probably qualify for legal immigration.
I have a couple Mexican friends, and know a few others who are good people. I also know of some that leave a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, many of us stereotype people. I don’t assume that a person is honest, hardworking and has good moral values because he is Caucasian; and I don’t assume that he is anything less because he is Mexican, black, or Vietnamese.
One of my Mexican friends, a very successful CPA that lives in an upscale neighborhood, tells this story: One day while he was mowing his front yard, a car pulled up to the curb, and the driver yelled, “Hey Poncho, when you finish there, come get my yard – third house down on the next block.”
“Poncho” (whose name is actually Rick) finished his yard, then drove his mower over to the next block, and mowed the guy’s yard. When the guy asked what he owed him, Rick said, “Nothing. I just thought it was the neighborly thing to do” – and when the jerk asked what he meant, Rick explained that the yard he had been mowing was his own, making them neighbors. The guy just said “Whatever…” and stalked off.
Rick has a real problem with illegal Mexican immigrants, and with more reason than most of us. He is totally opposed to the Dream Act, and also opposes the imposition of Spanish as a second language. Rick’s father was an illegal who earned his citienship by enlisting in the army, then
raised four kids and put them through college. Since any illegal immigrant (at least most who don’t have a criminal record) can enlist in the armed forces and obtain citizenship, there is no need for the Dream Act. He also feels that American citizens of Mexican ancestry are judged by and discriminated against because of the actions of the illegals. This has been a real problem for his two teenaged daughters, who have had to cope with some of the ideas expressed above about Latino women.
Rick makes a very valid point when he says that the imposition of Spanish on American culture actually makes it harder for Latinos to integrate into American society. It may help them read labels and apply for Welfare benefits, but it won’t help them get a decent job. It’s simply a crutch, and as long as it’s available, they’ll never reach the point where they don’t need it.

Well all I can say is wow isn’t this an ACCURACY website, because the writer is no journalist. First of all you can’t have a heading about Mexican Anchor babies and your prime example is a couple from GUATEMALA which in case because of all the ignorance and hate you failed to notice is not MEXICO…..the real crooks are those in the skycrapes the CEO’s of banks and other financial institutions who robbed you blind and gave you a home loan and later took it away…all this greed how about the BILLIONS OF TAX PAYERS MONEY That were given to the banks as bail outs and left so many people homeless and without jobs…. And what did they do with this bail out money THEY TOOK THEIR FAMILIES ON VACATION while you stayed home so worried how were you going to put a roof over your families head….. In my opinion let go of the ignorance and hate and get on corporate America for DESTROYING AMERICA!!!!!!!
And for the quote in the article about family values here goes some statistics the population of USA is about 315 million people 80% are non Hispanic/Latino 15% are the divorce rate of the white non Latino is 10% and Hispanic Latino is 7.08% which if your smart enough to make the math leaves close to 4 millions Latino Hispanic divorced a year and over 15 million white non Hispanic divorced a year how bout them apples in FAMILY VALUES and funny think I was born in Mexico and now I am a PROUD AMERICAN!!!!
The reason OBAMA has changed his view in illegals is because he himself has someone living here as an illegal, so is he going to make sure that person is deported? I believe NO.

If you’re so tired of paying for their welfare then vote for welfare to be revoked, this is a republic correct? But wait that would mean that many of your families wouldn’t get their food stamps every month or wouln’t get the medi-care benefits you all enjoy now. There are just as many caucasian families on welfare as their are mexican families if not more. So get the wefare revoked maybe it’ll give you a little sample at what these PEOPLE have to go through.
I really find it funny how many people actually support this. This is a huge debatable topic which many can provide and create their own opinion. However, instead of being BIASED and actually deriving your opinion form another, how about you look at the facts! Do you think immigrants just sit around? No, they work their asses of more than any other American in a middle class family. Immigrants make up the lower class of the US, why, because they take jobs Americans are not willing to do for little wages, oncee again why? Because we are spoiled, individualized, selfish, and bratty Americans whom are brilliantly smart, but would rather spend our time with our books and high class jobs yet still complain about lower class immigrants that DO the job BETTER than we would for a relatively low pay the we WOULD NOT accept. Thus, perhaps if we would actually turn to the attitudes our founding fathers had NO better yet the attitudes of the COMMON MAN in the North about 2centuries ago (because many founding fathers were southerners who used free labor through the use of slave ownership, not all, but many) through application of manual work or acceptance of any work instead of saying you can’t find a job (hey you chose your major right?) then perhaps we wouldn’t be allowing immigrants. Secondly, they are NOT anchor babies !! Are you unaware of the perquisites and requirements FOR legal parent status. Do you think many “anchor babies” have the fat chance of earning enough money to establish their parents as legal citizens? Many “anchor babies” are at a disadvantage compared to us. Nonetheless, a very few actually succeed in this life and gain success through very difficult struggles as well once successful, entering the middle class. Thus, the possibility of these anchor babies actually being “anchor babies” is a FAT CHANCE so just let them be. Do you not see the case of our economy and the problem the Exclusion Act of the Chinese has done to us? We are soon to be taken over by the Chinese!! Why? Because they obviously work harder than us, succeed from nothing (slowly, but they do! while we easily give up and mostly everything is handed to us). Can we please see that not always can we avoid the consequences of our founding fathers or people in congress in the past whom allowed slavery, TOOK the land of the indigenous people here on US SOIL (not through superiority, but advanced technology like GUNS AND FORCE), and have related mostly everyone including those of EUROPEAN DESCENT LIKE IRISH PEOPLE as IMMIGRANTS!! We are all immigrants here! How about we find a way to better our education system, praise hard work, give help to those that actually need it (lower welfare), and get on with our lives because we ARE COLLECTING TAX REVenues from these “illegal immigrants” whom see barely nothing of it EVER. Be thankful for what God has given you because who knows if your even worthy of it or if the way you lead yourself is the right way and karma will prevail in your generation or another!

Ignorant americans… Yall have no idea! we are smarter that yall realize.
This article is very informative and I’ve been saying these things in blogs I’ve written over the last few years, espcially to news orgainzations. I agree, the time for action is now and we need to not only address the enormous burden illegal aliens have on all of us, but the issue of birthrights and citizenship and anchor babies before the future of our children is eroded beyond repair and America turns into a third world country like Mexico.
