States must fight legal fiction called
‘anchor babies’

“If
anyone’s going to be deported, it's going to be you! ... Get out! We are
the future. You're old and tired. Go on. We have beaten you – leave
like beaten rats. You old white people, it is your duty to die. Right
now, we're already controlling those elections, whether it's by violence
or nonviolence. Through love of having children we're going to take over."
Augustin Cebada, information minister of Brown Berets, militant para-military
soldiers of Aztlan shouting at U.S. citizens at an Independence Day rally
in Los Angeles.
It is
astounding how many elected public officials support illegal aliens who
sneak into our house like criminals in the night, stealing jobs that belong
to Americans and bankrupting cities and hospitals for "freebies"
they have no right to receive, backed up by federal judges who should
have been removed from the federal bench decades ago. In April 2008, the
very popular, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, prostituted himself during
a speech for votes at an event sponsored by the Latino Leadership Alliance
of New Jersey by assuring his audience illegal aliens were not really
here illegally, but were simply “undocumented.”
The
'unofficial' number of unemployed Americans is close to 25 MILLION. Those
"undocumented" criminals Gov. Christie refers to are illegally
holding 11.5 MILLION jobs that belong to Americans and naturalized citizens.
Shame on you, Gov. Christie for thumbing your nose at our federal immigration
laws and encouraging even more criminals to break into our country. Roll
out the welcome mat. Unemployment in New Jersey is holding at a steady
9.3%. Gov. Christie apparently doesn't care if jobs go to illegal aliens
instead of legal citizens in his state. After all, they're simply "undocumented".
Well, what can one expect from someone who believes the hoax called 'global
warming'? Yes, Christie is on the record saying 'climate change' (the
repackaged global warming baloney) is caused by human activity.
Gov.
Rick Perry here in Texas is also pro illegals despite his carefully crafted
stump speeches. Almost six years ago, Perry signed a bill into law to
steal from the taxpayers of Texas to give tuition breaks to illegal aliens
attending state universities. "Students" who have no right to
even be on U.S. soil, much less take classroom seats in universities.
Voters beware: Rick Perry is not who you think he is; Perry's actions
speak louder than his campaign rhetoric.
What
exactly is this legal fiction called an 'anchor baby'? The theory is that
a child born on U.S. soil of an illegal alien, regardless of country
of origin, automatically becomes a U.S. citizen.
Nothing
could be further from the truth.
Those
favoring illegal aliens sneaking into our country use the Fourteenth Amendment
as justification for babies born on U.S. soil by mothers who have no legal
right to be in our country. They are wrong.
Amendment
XIV - U.S. Constitution
Section
1. "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. No state shall make or enforce any law
which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United
States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,
without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction
the equal protection of the laws."
"Anchor
babies" is simply a bastardization of the Fourteenth Amendment. Illegal
means illegal. If the parent(s) have no legal right to be on US soil,
their off spring are also illegal and must be deported if there is going
to be any respect for our laws. I'm sorry for children of illegals, but
they should blame their parents for sneaking across our borders, making
them criminals in the eyes of the law.
The
single largest number of illegal aliens (not "immigrants") sneaking
across the border are from Mexico. What does their Constitution say -
and thank you to Mothers Against Illegal Amnesty for bringing this to
light last year:
Mexican
Constitution - Chapter II
Article
30. Mexican nationality is acquired by birth or by naturalization:
A. Mexicans
by birth are:
I. Those
born in the territory of the Republic, regardless of the nationality of
their parents:
II.
Those born in a foreign country of Mexican parents; of a Mexican father
and a foreign mother; or of a Mexican mother and an unknown father;
Quoting
one of the experts on the destruction of the illegal invasion and 'anchor
babies', Frosty Wooldridge, wrote in one of his columns, January 6, 2011:
"April
4, 1997, President Sedillo of Mexico stated that "We will not tolerate
foreign forces dictating and enacting laws on Mexicans. Our contention
is that we are not enacting or dictating any laws on the Mexican illegal
alien children born by illegal alien females in the US territory. Further,
he states that "he was going to use all diplomatic and legal forces
at his disposal to protect Mexicans living in the United States."
What
Sedillo was saying is legally correct:
Illegal
aliens who smuggle themselves across our borders from Mexico are Mexican
citizens and so are their off spring according to their Constitution,
which is why he vows to protect "Mexicans living in the United States."
All 'anchor babies' whose mother is a Mexican citizen should be stripped
of US citizenship because legally the child never had the legal right
to acquire such status.
Consider
these words from Edward J. Erler, Professor of Political Science, California
State University, San Bernardino, in his column (I hope you take the time
to read all of it): Birthright Citizenship and Dual Citizenship: Harbingers
of Administrative Tyranny
"In
sum, this legacy of feudalism—which we today call birthright citizenship—was
decisively rejected as the ground of American citizenship by the Fourteenth
Amendment and the Expatriation Act of 1868. It is absurd, then, to believe
that the Fourteenth Amendment confers the boon of American citizenship
on the children of illegal aliens. Nor does the denial of birthright citizenship
visit the sins of the parents on the children, as is often claimed, since
the children of illegal aliens born in the U.S. are not being denied anything
to which they have a right. Their allegiance should follow that of their
parents during their minority. Furthermore, it is difficult to fathom
how those who defy American law can derive benefits for their children
by their defiance—or that any sovereign nation would allow such
a thing."
He further
points out: "But in any case, to say that children of legal aliens
are entitled to citizenship is one thing; after all, their parents are
in the country with the permission of the U.S. It is entirely different
with illegal aliens, who are here without permission. Thus repeal of the
current policy of birthright citizenship for the children of illegal aliens
would not require a constitutional amendment."
Prof.
Erler hit it out of the ball park: Children born on US soil of an illegal
alien parent (or two parents) regardless of country of origin have no
"right" to U.S. citizenship.
'Anchor
Baby' Constitutional Amendment to Face Scrutiny in Congress - December
26, 2010 (FOX News)
"In
a matter of weeks, Congress will go from trying to help young, illegal
immigrants become legal to debating whether children born to parents who
are in the country illegally should continue to enjoy automatic U.S. citizenship.
Such a hardened approach -- and the rhetoric certain to accompany it --
should resonate with the GOP faithful who helped swing the House in Republicans'
favor. But it also could further hurt the GOP in its endeavor to grab
a large enough share of the growing Latino vote to win the White House
and the Senate majority in 2012. Legislation to test interpretations of
the 14th Amendment as granting citizenship to the children of illegal
immigrants will emerge early next session."
There
is a rancid bill in Congress right now that should be rejected: H.R.140
- Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011. Why? Because it includes citizenship
for illegal aliens who serve in our military. The Department of Defense
is so hard up for IED fodder for the on-going illegal invasions and occupations
of Iraq and Afghanistan, they - with the blessing of the Outlaw Congress
- have allowed illegal aliens to enlist. Currently there are about 29,000
illegal aliens serving in our military who should have been deported the
minute their legal status was determined. Rep. Steve King's bill rewards
violating our immigration laws. That is not a solution, it's a magnet
for more illegals to invade this country and enlist. The military provides
a lot of perks paid for by you and me. I'm sick of being fleeced to reward
criminal behavior.
Forget
about pandering to the "Latino vote." I am so sick of racist
politics shoved down our throats by minorities. This isn't about anyone's
race. It's about our laws and the financial destruction heaped on this
country as a result of allowing nearly 25 MILLION illegals into this country.
Pile on the number of children birthed by illegal female aliens and the
numbers become staggering. According to a 2010 study released by the Pew
Hispanic Center, 79% of the 5.1 million children of criminals (illegal
aliens) were born in the U.S. That means just over 4 million babies have
been given U.S. citizenship when they should have been deported immediately
with the mother. Since their mother had no right to be on U.S. soil, the
baby has no "right" to U.S. citizenship.
That
might sound hard nosed, but the carnage caused by illegals since Ronald
Reagan opened the door to this massive invasion back in 1986 would fill
a hundred newspapers. The financial destruction to the states of the Union
heaped on the backs of hard working Americans and those who came to America
legally and went through the process, runs into the hundreds of billions
of dollars -- every year. Those 4 million illegal alien babies are recipients
of your paycheck in the form of welfare and stealing the limited resources
for education in the states.
Last
year alone, the cost to taxpayers of LA County was whopping $600 MILLION
dollars in welfare for children of illegal aliens. I guess it doesn't
bother the people there getting fleeced in taxes to pay for all that welfare
because they continue to elect governors who refuse to lock down the border
and sympathizers of the invasion across the southern border of California
to their legislature. Remember the quote at the top of this column.
The
Republicans controlled Congress from January 1995 - December 2007. For
eight of those years, there was a Republican president, Bush, Jr. This
mess regarding 'anchor babies' should have been taken care of once and
for all: Regardless of country of origin, if you drop a baby on U.S. soil
and you are an illegal alien, your baby does not automatically become
a U.S. citizen. Both will be deported. The easiest way to detect this
is from hospitals reporting the legal status of a woman giving birth.
Oh, can you hear the screeching already from the American Communist Lawyers
Union (ACLU), La Raza and other pro illegal, anti-American groups that
illegals have rights!
No,
they don't and the ACLU, LaRaza and other militant anti-American groups
can yell and jump up and down all they want. Either we get serious about
deporting illegals or continue to suffer even more destruction to our
country. Lawlessness breeds lawlessness. The U.S. State Department and
the Department of Homeland Security support giving U.S. citizenship to
illegal babies. Not surprising considering who heads up both of those
cabinets.
It's
long past time the states of the Union stood up to the General Government
on this issue. The states of the Union birthed the Constitution which
created the U.S. Congress. They still hold the power.
As Prof.
Erler stated above, there is no need for Congress to pass a constitutional
amendment to deal with the issue of the 'anchor baby' scam. Art. IV, Section
4 of the U.S. Constitution says: "The United States shall guarantee
to every state in this union a republican form of government, and shall
protect each of them against invasion; and on application of the legislature,
or of the executive (when the legislature cannot be convened) against
domestic violence.
Last year Arizona's
state legislature tried to pass a bill dealing with this issue; it didn't
pass. Many, including myself, were opposed to the language in the bill
as it would have changed the language of the Fourteenth Amendment and
that can only be done by a constitutional amendment. However, the states
can write legislation that succinctly spells out the myth of 'anchor babies'
being protected by the Fourteenth Amendment and their right to turn the
mother over to ICE to be deported right along with the baby.
That
won't happen unless the people of each state make this a major issue with
their state legislature. That means all of us put the heat on our state
reps and senators. It doesn't matter if your state legislature is out
of session, send that snail mail letter and remind them next year is an
election year. It's time to replace gutless legislators with real men
and women who have the backbone to stand up to Washington, DC., the ACLU
and America hating groups like LaRaza.
