U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal of Georgia wants to change a federal policy that automatically grants citizenship to any baby born on U.S. soil.
The Associated Press reports that Deal, a Republican candidate for governor, and his supporters feel the current policy encourages illegal immigration and makes immigration enforcement more difficult."This is a sensible, overdue measure that closes a clause that was never meant to be a loophole," said Bob Dane, spokesman for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, which seeks tighter immigration restrictions.
The term “anchor babies” is often used by opponents of illegal immigration who say immigrant families have children in the United States to establish a legal foothold. The children could also later sponsor citizenship for family members.
Automatic citizenship is part of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution. It says:
“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."
It’s no surprise that Deal’s proposition has raised concerns among Latino advocates and human-rights groups who say it contradicts the American spirit.
Lisa Navarrete, vice president of the National Council of La Raza, a Hispanic advocacy group, told the AP that the proposed law wouldn't stem illegal immigration and would make the problem worse because not only would illegal immigrants be undocumented, their American-born children would be, too.
"You end up with potentially millions of children who are stateless, who were born here and have no ties to any other country, yet they're not considered citizens or part of the United States," she said.
It's very difficult to amend the constitution. In once scenario, an amendment must be proposed by a two-thirds vote in each house of Congress. If approved, it must be ratified by majority votes in the legislatures or conventions of three-fourths of the states before it can become part of the Constitution.
A recent study the Pew Hispanic Center found that the number of American children who have at least one undocumented parent has increased considerably from 2.7 million in 2003 to 4 million in 2008. More than 70 percent of all children of illegal immigrants are American citizens.
Those children would not lose their citizenship under Deal’s proposal but the numbers demonstrate the rapid demographic shift taking place within the country’s undocumented population.

This is way overdue. That is why you see so many Hispanic women that are pregnant with 3 or 4 more hovering around. Tax payers are paying for their births. That is why most Americans are not having families because they can't afford the medical costs that they are expected to pay. If this is not changed, you will see the Hispanic population become the majority in 15-20 years.
Franco,
In your opinion, what does the clause, "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the 14th Amendment mean? Because if the authors of the 14th Amendment had meant for ANY "anchor baby" to be a US citizen, it would have been sufficient for them to just have the birth language and NOT include "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".
It seems to me that "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means that the baby cannot be a citizen of another country as well. And since nearly every country has a provision in their law or Constitution that says if a mother and father of that country have a child born abroad, the baby is the citizen of the "motherland".
In other words if a French couple give birth in the US, the baby is automatically French citizen. If a Mexican couple give birth in the US, the baby is automatically a Mexican citizen. NOT an American citizen.
So Franco, give us YOUR take on "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".
The entire country is suffering from xenophobia.
GO FOR IT........it's about time somebody spoke up against this ridiculous law.
Where do I donate to his election campaign? (BG)
The current practice is encouraging more Mexicans to get over the border and produce like rabbits. Once they have planted their seeds, it gives them more leverage of becoming citizens themselves. This is simply an invasion that needs to be stopped or we will be facing serious consequences!
i completely agree with anon at 1:53pm. i had a family member that was born in south american while her parent was working there -- she is an american citizen not colombian. why is it if you are in america it does not matter what your parents are - french, mexican etc -- the baby is automatically american? that is crazy and why so many illegals are having kids. then when the parents are caught and to be deported they pull the heartstrings about the kids....send them all back!
FINALLY! This ridiculous law has burdened U.S. taxpayers very heavily. They have mass quantities of babies for free, and then those babies are educated for free while the parents do not pay into the system. Something needs to change because too many illegals are taking advantage of us. It is out of control.
Somebody give this guy a medal.
OK, Anonymous, so you believe that people who are here illegally are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US, and neither are their offspring?
So, if they are not subject to our laws, then they're not illegal, right? How could they be?
While I try to ponder the implications of your argument, I think there is a body of established agreements relating to children born with dual citizenships we'd have to work our way out from. Also, there's just something jarring about not granting citizenship to native-born Americans. I don't know that any of my ancestors did anything to become US citizens. We've just been born here for 250+ years..
The reason this law won't change is because these politicians rely heavily on the Hispanic vote. They are not serving the best interest of the country, only themselves. The majority of people in the U.S. agree on this same issue so how does a small group of politicians keep getting elected!
We are rapidly losing our country.
Steve,
If an American man and woman go to work in France and the woman gives birth, that baby is an American citizen, not a French citizen.
So why would a foreign couple giving birth in the US expect their child to be an American and not a citizen of their native land?
Steve, our ancestors came here for a better way of life and sacrificed to do so. The difference is they wanted to be a part of this country and conformed to it. The Mexicans coming here do not want to learn our customs but change them. They refuse to learn the language and why should they, knowing once they become the majority they will just expand Mexico into Northern Mexico.
Here is a profoundly well-researched essay on the meaning of the 14th Amendment's citizenship provision:
http://federalistblog.us/2007/09/revisiting_subject_to_the_jurisdiction.html
It concludes with unwavering certainty that children of non-Americans are NOT automatic American citizens.
"U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal of Georgia wants to change a federal policy that automatically grants citizenship to any baby born on U.S. soil."

Sadly, this makes so much sense it will never happen. So all these kids will continue going to our public schools, taking advantage of our programs and resources, while their illegal parents do not pay into the tax system to provide these services. Our schools are completely maxed out - having to print forms, posters, tests, etc., in both Spanish and English, having to provide ESL teachers for those who don't speak English - and having to have translators at any school or teacher meeting because the parents aren't bothering to learn the language that the kids speak in school. We have given our country away and will never be able to get it back.
You will have to concatenate the parts of this link to reach the essay:

2:48 - This isn't about Mexicans, this is about the law. There are quite a few illegals coming from other countries (China in particular) that need to be repatriated.
This is not about mexicans - or latinos....honestly it's not really that part of the world that concerns me the most. Korea, Pakistan, Turkey, China - all heading into the US to have babies. And are we actually foolish enough to believe that al-Qaida hasn't thought about this for the next generation?
My mother has been delivering babies for 35 years at a semi-rural hospital outside NYC....they all know how to stay under the radar, and they all ask the same question within seconds of the baby being born, "how long does it take to process the paperwork and get a birth certificate?" Scary stuff.
I am amazed at the hatred behind this proposition and the comments on this board.
Most immigrants - legal or otherwise - come to the US to work and earn enough money to support their families. Most immigrants long to become US citizens. They take great risks to come here but are willing to sacrifice their lives for the chance at a better life. These people often work dangerous or physically taxing jobs at ridiculous wages.
At the heart of the matter, these children are born and raised here and should not have to suffer for decisions they cannot control - their parents' legal status.
BTW - immigrants spend money in the US. The buy food, clothing, gas, etc. In the Carolinas, all of these items are taxed. Also - taxes are taken out of the paychecks of illegals immigrants which will not be refunded. It is not a free ride.
Do it! Also, make it retroactive back about 20 years.
3:12 - The only hatred here is YOUR hatred for THE LAW.
What part of ILLEGAL do you not understand?
Franco was an Anchor baby, ship him back please!
3:12 - Illegals don't get paychecks, they get paid in cash. Go spend a few days on Wendover or Wilkinson.
Yes! I'm behind this 100%! Let's get this into law! Yesterday!
The baby should be born into the same nationality of their parents, no matter where they're born. If your born to American parents in France, you should be an American citizen.... just the same as if your parents are Mexican, Canadian, German, etc... you should be a citizen of that country. Then when you become old enough to make your own decisions about your nationality, you can go through the proper channels to become a legal citizen of your adopted country.
I'm so tired of seeing a small army of children following these women in public... with the kicker being... she's pregnant again! This nonsense has got to stop!
3:19 - Great point about it not being the child's decision.
How about it, LIEberals? Why do you want a person's citizenship FORCED on them and for them to FORSAKE THEIR HERITAGE?
I agree with most posts. An anchor baby should be illegal. In Mexico a couple of years ago there were ads in papers promoting the migration of pregnant women. Why? Because it helps Mexico. Stupid Americans pay to support the kid, pay hospital bills, etc. Hell yes. I applaud this. Illegal immigration is not just a "civil infraction" and the elitist Harvard educated Mary Newsome at the Charlotte observer says. It is a crime. We should be at war with these scum.
In a few years McDonalds will remove burgers from their menus and will replace them for Tacos, then will change their name to McPedros!
3:12 - you're referring to the IDEAL situation. There are certainly those who risk it all to be here and provide a better life for their families for that matter.
But just like EVERY other situation out there - this requires balanced thinking. For everyone who is legit, there are probably 5 who are taking full advantage of the system.
3:12 - The US has the most permissive immigration system IN THE WORLD. Nothing stopping these people from going through the proper channels like the Irish, the Italians, the Jews, the Germans, the Japanese, etc. did.
Here is a good example of the invasion taking place. I saw a school somewhere along the Mexican border, I think Arizona where the students hung the Mexican flag over the American flag. I don't think this is a typical immigrant like our ancestors were. They want to take control of this country and they have already started. They laugh at us and say things about us in Spanish while we grin and go about our merry way. They are not stupid and know how to get what they want.
Let's help the economy: Bring our trrops home from this hopeless war in Iraq and Afganistan, build more military bases along the borders and let them patrol and establish a perimeter. Once this is established, work from the inside out finding and deporting illegals. The government can give GM a huge contract to build MTVs (Mexican Transport Vehicles)for deportion purposes. We cut down on all the medical care we give them, the bases help the local economies, and our border is secure from illegals and terrorists! Sound good!!
Oops, mis-spelled troops on the last one...Next, is for Americans to stop buying everything made in China. Once we cut into their profits, these companies who moved our jobs over there will be forced to come back since America makes up the majority of goods purchased. Cheap labor = cheap product! The Japanese were right on the attack at Pearl Harbor, "I am afraid we have awoken a sleeping giant", well we have been asleep for too long!!
God Bless the USA, and if you don't like that I said God, get out!
The Constitution is obviously outdated and should be ammended ASAP to protect the true "citizens" of the US. Enough is enough. Go after the employers of illegals with steep fines and jail time.
All of us white folks are a bunch or racists and descendents of illegal murderers. The only TRUE and LEGAL Americans are Indians, YES American Indians! Have you forgotten? Many years ago there was no white men on this land. When the first white men & women came they were not invited by the Indians and were not welcome in their land. Therefore all white men & women back then were ILEGAL… not content with just being illegal our great, great, great, great… grandparents, decided to KILL the true Americans and take over their land, making the American Indian majority a minority. So, all of us white folks are just a bunch of anchor babies descendents of illegal murderers.
Could be my ancestors migrated after these murders took place. Indians murdered as well as whites. There are lots of people who were murdered in our history and it is sad but as long as evil exists, it will keep happening. Don't stray away from the issue at hand. Ol' Frank is loving all these comments, stirring up people's emotions for more media attention.
OK, here is a scenario that really ticked me off last night. I stopped by the grocery on the way home and I go to the shortest line, but it ended up very slow. The lady in line had two little kids, but she was dividing her groceries up so that she could pay for them in four separate purchases. She was giving the cashier a white piece of paper to cover each group. Of course she could not speak English so it went slow. After she checked out I asked the cashier what the white papers were. She told me it was "WIC" and was a subsidy for Women and children. I may be wrong, but I assume this lady was here illegally. It really ticks me off that illegals come here and live off of our taxes for food, school, medical treatments, etc. I recently had to take someone to the emergency room and English speaking people were the definite minority being treated.
After the reading the headline, I thought this was a story about the news readers on Fox Charlotte.
Very true, indians also killed white men... but they did so because they were defending their land from the abusive and ilegal white aliens.
Were you there to know what went down? Maybe, when the white settlers were fleeing the tyranny on England in search of a peaceful home, they were greeted by arrows and tomahawks. It is like walking through a neighbors yard and getting attacked by a pitbull. I am sure if you knew the dog was there you would have avoided it. I am confident the settlers were non-violent until provoked!
Okay 4:23 - so I guess we now deserve to lose our country to the next group of pilgrims - the ones coming from south of the border. Since Europeans did this to the Indians, then all the Latinos can now do it to Americans. I think you should be the first one to give up your job, give up your tax money, give up your children's place in school, and their spot in college with scholarship money, and you should be forced to learn their language so you can communicate with them. You can also pay to give them healthcare and take your place in the back of the line in the ER.
That same ole argument about how we are all immigrants is old and lame. Get over your liberal self and see that you are in the clear minority - soon to be in more ways than one.
So, settlers = legal? No, settlers were illegal. Settlers did not adopted or embraced the culture or language of the American Indians, instead they decided to take over… So, history it is just repeating itself. What goes around comes around, it is inevitable.
The bottom line is that this will never see the light of day and the 14th amendment will not be changed. It is a political tactic by this KKK congressman to garner votes in the KKK state of GA. The hispanics are taking OVER, yes I love it when y'all rednecks are so mad and angry yet there isn't a damn thing you weazles can do
Very true, this argument is old and lame, but also it is very truthful.
Bottom line, if you are caught breaking a law, you go to jail, period. A law is a law, why people are pro-illegal immigration just means they are guilty of something. There should be no debate over enforcing the law. If it offends you, get out and leave America to those who love it and want to sustain it! This is from a 3rd generation US Army veteran who love his country. I have put my life on the line so you can have the freedom you enjoy. I am not happy that this country is being over-run by those who want to change it.
That's a very silly policy. The UK already has that and they are still struggling with undocumented inmigrants and in my opinion because I have lived in England also (mi eldest son was born there), their problem with inmigration is worst that the american one.
In the other hand I'm a hispanic and I have what some of this guys called an "anchor baby". But as far as I remember no public funds or taxes from the great american people were used to pay for my baby girl. Actually I had to pay for my bills. And my baby was not an "anchor" at all, her precious smile didn't grant me any visa, green card or citizenship and I'm back in my country.
Glad to know you paid your bills but there are very few who does. My wife is a nurse and she sees it everyday. The hospitals can not deny medical care so if they are treated and use phony id, who gets stuck with the bill? We tax paying Americans!
You are back in your country, Mexico?
I just laugh about your comments.
What would Jesus do? Hm...you don't have any idea. When you die will you be "illegal" in heaven? I don't think neither you nor me would be there to know it.
All these feelings....all about land, money, "I did this you didn't", "you are illegal because you look illegal", you break the law I don't, DO I?...my my my!!!
Instead of wasting your time expresing yourself in that way PRAY!. Pray to get "one Nation under God, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all".
Remember we are all brothers and sisters in God. Criminals inclusive. And HE will be the only one who will forgive our sins.
Not further comments whatever you say.
When this guy ask me if I'm mexican explains why this whole debate bothers me. The fact is most of "illegal" inmigrants are from mexico but I can assure you there are people from all over the world with no proper documentation living in american soil.
It is the same with these so called anchor babies, people would believe all hispanics are having a babies as part of a master plan to conquer america or destroy the great american values. In fact most of these undocumented are young people compare to the average of american people, that's why I beleive they are having more babies than the regular american people.
Also people might think , beucause most of the undocumented are from latinamerican countries we all are "illegals". One day a guy asked me for my green card, I told him, -I don't have any green card-, he replied -then you are "illegal", he assumed because I had accent and the way I look I was "illegal" an also because I told him I had no green card when I fact I wasn't "illegal".
I don't wan't to say is that no matter how tall the walls are in the border or if you don't consider anchor babies as american citizens the inmigration problem would be there. I understand why people are upset or worried about this but as long as we have poverty or violence in your neighbord's yard they will be here. Happened with the irish, the italians and now with latinos. How to fix it, that's complex, but band aids could make things a lot worst.
I moved here from Arizona. Hospitals in small towns close to the US-Mexico border had to CLOSE their maternity departments, forcing US mothers to drive hours for care, because those hospitals were overburdened with women from Mexico who had dashed across the border just before they were to give birth to their "anchor babies."
I agree that children born of non-citizens here in the US should NOT be issued automatic citizenship. Change the 14th Amendment.
Pinches cuellos rojos de cagada! Me cago de risa de leer sus comentarios de odio y ahora mas x que escribo estas lineas... jajajaja!
7:07 Why don't you go to the Spanish version of the CO if you can't leave your comment in the English language?
I believe that the 14th amendment needs to be re-written to state that BOTH parents must be US citizens (and have documentation to prove it) in order for the offspring to be a US citizen. Otherwise illegal immigrants do whatever they can to cross the border before the baby is born.
Also, I believe ALL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS should be deported as soon as possible and they should be forced to take their anchor offspring with them. (We wouldn't want to separate the family now would we?)
Something must be done to prevent illegal immigrants from coming here and multiplying like rabbits just because they think the more children they have on US soil, the less likely they are to be deported.
Bottom line people is:
TWO WRONGS DO NOT MAKE A RIGHT!
7:18 eres un punetas tarado, pinche meco, jajaja!. I could write my post in English, French, Portuguese and German too... but decided against it just to piss you off, showcase your bigotry and your lack of world education. Mission accomplished!
7:31 has proven how some immigrants have no regard for others and are always going against the natural flow of our country just to benefit themselves and others like them.
I agree with 7:07.
2 wrongs don't make a right and illegal immigrants should have no rights in this country.
Deportar a todos los inmigrantes ilegales y sus bebés ancla!
Expulser tous les immigrés illégaux et de leur ancrage bébés.
Deportar todos os imigrantes ilegais e os seus bebés âncora.
Ausweisung aller illegalen Einwanderer und ihre Kinder verankern.
No matter what language you use, the MAJORITY of posters are against illegal immigrants coming the the US to give birth to their illegal anchor offspring.
I'm 7:31... who said that I am an immigrant? I am a 2nd generation Charlottean. Unlike most of you I have traveled quite extensively and I am fluent in 4 languages. I am a Southerner but I am not a bigot like several of you.
7:58 - I am SO impressed by your "Google Translate" abilities. You really know how to copy/paste/translate! Hahahaha!
I hope the US government will be smart about this and listen to the US citizens. Most of which do not want more illegal immigrants and anchor babies. Hospitals and schools are already overburdened with children of illegal immigrants. If the 14th amendment had been changed 20 years ago this country would probably be doing much better economically.
Besides the US is getting way too overpopulated. If current immigration laws were enforced, none of us would have had to read this article in our local paper.
8:05 Since you are so "worldly" and travel so "extensively", why do you choose to live among people you refer to as "rednecks"?
Do us a favor. Next time get a 1 way ticket!
8:05 - Ok, I will get a 1 way ticket home... that is to Myers Park... and if you haven't notice, Charlotte it is no longer a redneck town, it is becoming a world class city. That's why after living and working in several cities I decided to come home, stay close to family and childhood friends. And, for the record… I’m not 100% in favor of granting US citizenship to children born in the U.S.A. of undocumented/illegal parents. However, I am 100% against the term “anchor” because it is not an anchor whatsoever, more than 18 years have to pass by for the child to be able to “sponsor” their parent - 18 years it is not a free pass. However, I do know several of what you call “anchor” young adults now that have a higher education, hold management positions, are law abiding, taxpaying, contributors of this society, and most important, proud to be American while not forgetting their cultural background, quite the contrary, embracing it. Therefore, like I said, I am on the fence on the discussion at hand.
BRAVO!!!! 8:45 PM. I totally agree with you.
I could see sadly being American doesn't mean to be well educated. Just take a look the way the use their words. What a shame!
Oh! by the way, my neighboor is illegal and live in Myers Park since 1998. Did anybody give him his house as a gift?????
Uh,oh!
9:34 - See... I'm just an average American who makes mistakes, and since you hate illegals and your illegal neighbor too, why haven’t you call DHS on him? Shame on you! You know, actions speak louder than words.
Who said I "hate" illegals???
I can't H A T E anybody.
Good night!
Finally, someone that makes sense! Where can I contribute to his campaign?
To 8:45: Isn't it amusing how some people assume that your one way ticket "home" is to Mexico and not to Myers Park? LOL! The comments here amaze me. I love how everyone assumes that anyone who looks "Mexican" is illegal.
Here's an idea. Instead of changing the 14th. Ammendment, just deport the illegal parents. If someone is born in the U.S. they are considered a citizen and I have no problem with that. The problems start when the illegal parents then try to make everyone feel sorry for them when they face deportation. They cry "but what about my child".
Just deport the parents and make the children wards of the state.
Our tax dollars are paying for thier up-keep anyway.
Taxpayers want to alert all these mooching system working illegals that America is broke and not only broke but in debt 100 trillion or more. In 1973 abortion was made legal with Roe vs Wade.
Therefore why not abort in the US since it would be much less costly for us taxpayers since you are going to break in line and steal our money anyway.
ABORT !!!! In America its safe and legal. Hopefully pro choice libs can understand ...
Illegals don't get paychecks, they get paid in cash. Go spend a few days on Wendover or Wilkinson.

...................................
That comment shows you that local business operators are actually complicit in flaunting the law and exploiting the lack of rights of illegal immigrants. Local businesses are undermining the local economy knowing full-well people will blame the illegals rather than them. As well, they are greedy, taking taxes from illegal employees knowing full well they, the businesses, will never have to remit them to the local government...thus padding their revenue.
People do have dual-citizenships; so, it stands to reason, Mexicans can be both legal Mexicans and legal US citizens. There are lots of Americans who are also legal Canadians. It's not a case of being only one nationality or the other.
This attempt by Deal is all political. What about the ensuing additional expense and negative publicity associated with having to deport entire Mexican families complete with newly born infants snatched right out of hospital nurseries?
Better to resolve the issue of allowing these aliens to obtain proper permission to work and thus, enabling the taxation ( and reporting by employers) of all their earnings. Force employers to pay standard minimum wages to them, as well; that will level the employment field and more Americans will get more of the jobs.
Darn near every immigrant who ever settled in America, came poor with the motivation to work hard and make a simple living. The Mexicans are no different. Instead of seeking to rid the USA of them, figure out how to assimilate them to the benefit of the US.
To 1:44 pm.

"Anonymous said...

HUH? Sounds like the typical racist bigoted white liberal trash lie.
Sounds like some crackhead extremely dumb mentally challenged D-F student in high school who never went to college and was raised in some poverty striken white trash neighborhood.
Indians were never "Americans" before the white European man arrived who by the way happened to be a white European Italian real Latino caucasoid (like white Euro Latino blog owner Franco) who was working for a white Euro Latino nation named Spain who brought its white Spanish language culture religion etc after conquering the pagan cannibalistic savage red mongoloid race who went by many names such as aztecs, eskimos, indians, amazons, myans etc. They were all from eastern Asia and had migrated across the Bering Strait 1000s of yrs earlier filtering down 10k miles to the tip of what is now Chile.
The moron is devoid and ignorant of the truth and real history proof of his lack of proper education and spouting his ignorant mouth typical of his subpar education.
America was not named America until the 16th century after another white European Latino Italian Americus Vespucia.
The bottom line America has only been America for 500 yrs and was founded by European white caucasoid real Latinos not the adopted Asian mongoloid peasant red race type illegals from what is now Mexico since 1821 being New Spain for 350 yrs before that and the land of the aztec indians before that who originated from Asia.
The English did not set up shop until 1607 in Jamestown Va and in 1621 the Pilgrims heaed to Jamestown blew off course and landed at Plymouth Rock.
The rich white guy Franco member of the ruling class of real Euro Latinos knows all this ...
To 8:44AM – Wow… you have set up the racist bar quite high for all your educated and uneducated KKK friends, you must be a Grand KKK Master! You hate browns, yellows, I’m sure you hate blacks too and now reds? and everything in between. Heck, you even dislike Franco b/c he is a member of the ruling real Euro Latinos!
I truly hope you don’t have a daughter/grand-daughter because chances are, she will be jumping the bones of one or more of the above, which will make you an unhappy Grand KKK Master camper.
Stop the invasion. One good way of stopping the invasion by illegal, resource robbing and job stealing immigrants is to take away their incentives for coming here. Stop giving their children born here automatic citizenship, take that incentive away. Or, if they do have a child here, deport them and let the child come back when he/she turns 18 as an American citizen. Either way, since the government refuses to enforce our laws and protect our borders from invasion- this abuse of our country *must stop* and it must now. Enough is enough.
Here's some reading on just some of the other damage illegals are doing to this country, to *citizens* of this country. Stories that go largely unreported because it isn't PC and doesn't fit the agendas that many in the media have.
Just the tip of the iceberg... illegals are devastating peoples credit and lives with their criminal behavior.
