"Anchor babies" not protected under 14th amendment
June 8, 2009
"Anchor babies" not protected under 14th amendment, says commissioner.
A county leader says automatic citizenship issue is "ripe for litigation."
County Commissioner Bill James cited opinions among members of congress and some legal think tanks when he wrote me last week saying U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants should not be granted automatic citizenship.
He was responding to my story about U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal of Georgia and his efforts to change a federal policy that automatically grants citizenship to any baby born on U.S. soil. He and his supporters feel the current policy encourages illegal immigration and makes immigration enforcement more difficult.
James supports the effort, but questions whether the policy needs to be changed. He argues it was “never written to include everyone born in America.â€

Good comments on this website, and I urge everyone to get in there and contribute. Tomorrow I will send a letter to Commissioner James to support him.

The 14th amendment was ratified on July 9, 1868.
Things have changed since 1868.
Illegal immigration was NOT a problem then. The U.S. still had an "open" immigration policy in 1868.
Since there were not many, if any, "illegal immigrants" then, obviously this amendment was not meant to include them. If there weren't illegal immigrants giving birth in the U.S., then why would anyone think the authors of this amendment WANTED them, in the future when they actually started to exist in any large number, included? This was for SLAVES, not ILLEGAL ALIENS.

The Chinese Exclusion Act was a United States federal law passed on May 6, 1882, following revisions made in 1880 to the Burlingame Treaty of 1868. Those revisions allowed the U.S. to suspend immigration, and Congress subsequently acted quickly to implement the suspension of Chinese immigration, a ban that was intended to last 10 years.
The Chinese Exclusion Act was the first significant restriction on free immigration in U.S. history
So the "first significant restriction on free immigration in U.S. history" was not until 14 years after the 14th amendment was added to the Constitution.
The reality is, Manna says, “nobody really knows what Congress intended when they added "and subject to the jurisdiction of thereof..."

If this is bought up before the supreme court, look at one of the judges who will get to make a decision on it. SOTOMAYER. And you know the rest of the story.

So they can change, write, and pass all the legislation they want. It don’t mean nothin’.
We have become a worldwide joke with a punch line that doesn’t generate so much as a limp chuckle.
But let’s remember folks, it isn’t over until the fat lady sings.<div>

The ILLEGAL parents know what they are doing; Abuse of the 14th Amendment to create an Anchor Baby and more ILLEGALS for U.S.A. Citizens to furnish benefits! The babies serve as an "anchor" to pull a large number of extended family members into the country to receive additional benefits further exhausting our treasury to the final outcome of the U.S.A. becoming just another Third World Country!
But NOT to worry the Elitist Special Interest Groups will get their CHEAP LABOR and leave the Citizens to pay for the ILLEGALS and their Anchor's benefits.
