Anchor Babies: No More U.S. Citizenship

Does it make sense to taxpayers for 400,000 pregnant mothers to break across America’s borders annually—and birth their babies into instant citizenship in the United States? Is it fair for American taxpayers to pay for those births in hospitals via the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act (EMTALA)? Does it stand to reason that taxpayers must then pay for those children to enjoy 13 years of schooling at the expense of our children? Does anyone realize that the costs run into the billions and trillions of dollars over the decades?
Not only do taxpayers support those children, their mothers become part of the welfare ride for those 18 years. Once 18, the child may ‘chain migrate’ an endless numbers of relatives into America.
In an interview with Business Week, director of www.NumbersUSA.com , Rob Beck, said, “The U.S. should pass H.R. 1868—the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009—so all babies born on U.S. soil are no longer automatically made citizens.
“Maternity tourism is just the beginning of the silliness of birthright citizenship that goes to the babies of foreign students, temporary foreign workers, international travelers—and the millions who break the law to criminally enter this country.”
With an astounding 400,000 anchor babies or “Jackpot babies” as named by radio talk show host Terry Anderson in Los Angeles, www.theterryandersonshow.com, American taxpayers pay a heavy price for a total misinterpretation of the 14th amendment of our constitution.
“All told, federal law (not the Constitution) gives citizenship to an estimated minimum 400,000 babies each year who don’t have even one parent who is a U.S. citizen or permanent legal immigrant,” Beck said. “This is a huge impediment to efforts to stabilize U.S. population to allow for environmental sustainability. And it is a great incentive for more illegal immigration.
“Each of these babies becomes an anchor who retards deportation of unlawfully present parents—and who eventually will be an anchor for entire families and villages as chain migration leads to the immigration of grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins.
“Birthright citizenship is an antiquated practice that has been abandoned by nearly all wealthy nations and emerging nations (recently India and Indonesia) and by the majority of poor nations.”
First of all, it’s unlawful! Mexico, with strict immigration laws, does not allow any kind of activity such as anchor babies. Second, it creates a whole new subclass of entrenched poverty. Third, it undermines American children in schools as Jackpot babies displace special programs by requiring English as a Second Language, and, it disrupts normal learning for our students. Fourth, it costs billion of dollars that should go toward America’s inner cities and minority poor.
“The Supreme Court has ruled only that the Constitution requires babies of legal immigrants be U.S. citizens,” Beck said. “It is time to join the modern world, pass H.R. 1868 (Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009), and limit citizenship to babies who have at least one parent who is a citizen or legal immigrant.”
Rightfully, four years ago, Ireland became the last country in the European Union that outlawed anchor babies.
Today, America must stop illegal, unlawful, immoral and unjust allowance for anchor babies. We must, as a nation, pass H.R. 1868 in order to make sure those pregnant foreign and unlawful migrant women birth their babies in their own countries to be taken care of by their governments and families.
We must, as a nation, insist on personal accountability, personal responsibility and national accountability. Become a member of www.numbersusa.com and help pass H.R. 1868.

This three minute interview with Adam Schrager on “Your Show” May 4, 2008, NBC Channel 9 News, addresses the ramifications of adding 120 million people to USA in 35 years and six million people to Colorado as to water shortages, air pollution, loss of farmland, energy costs and degradation of quality of life. In the interview, Frosty Wooldridge explains the ramifications of adding 120 million people to the USA in 35 years. He advances new concepts such as a “Colorado Carrying Capacity Policy”; “Colorado Environmental Impact Policy”; “Colorado Water Usage Policy”; “Colorado Sustainable Population Policy”. Nationally, the USA needs a "National Sustainable Population Policy" to determine the carrying capacity of this nation for the short and long term. Wooldridge is available for interviews on radio and TV having interviewed on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and FOX.

Again you're looking at many of the problems of mass immigration without addressing the causes. You try and address the cause as lack of legislation, but most immigrants are here illegally and therefore don’t care about laws. People would still bring their children with them as they immigrated and all the problems mentioned about would remain.
My sister-in-law is an immigrant graining citizenship and has paid over $10,000, she can’t leave the country to visit her while she filing, she must suck-up to these immigration authorities who treat her less then human, and will continue the process for years just for the possibility of becoming a US citizen. Because she is married to my very legal bro, she is having a much easier time gaining residency or citizenship then any of those “chain migrants” under the circumstances you mentioned. Yet you claim through misreading of the 14th amendment it opens an easy path for aunts, uncles, grandparents, and cousins to gain residency. So these immigrants are fleeing poverty with $10,000 dollars and spending it on a small possibility of gaining residency. Not to mention they have to be outstanding, productive members of society if they are going to have any hopes in even becoming a resident much less a citizen. So if they actually make it through the well vetted process they will not be a part of the people contributing to those problems you mentioned. I’m assuming that you believe that they are gaining residency or else what would an “anchor baby” have to do with their immigrating. The truth is that other then a very difficult process in which the immediate family can gain residency, and “anchor babies” give very little insurance or help to relatives in the legal immigration process.
What does happen quit often is legal immigrating citizen are used as a launching point or place of refuge for non-legal immigrants. So in this respect ALL first generation immigrants or any willing acquaintance may be used as “anchors”.
My problem with Frosty has always lied in his solutions. He wants to eliminate mass immigration through walls, hate, and laws. I have always agreed with eliminating mass immigration as I believe everyone does, but his “solution” only addresses the symptoms or sub-problems that are a result of larger problems. The world is not as simple as Frosty tries to make it and therefore his solutions would not work. This debate is not over a choice of saving ourselves or going down while trying to rescue the world; but yet that is what Frosty presents to us as our only options. If we neglect the larger issues at hand, such as poverty and lack of education, it will not only have devastating effects on them (third world countries), but it will also have disastrous effects on us. We are no longer a self-sustaining country. We need the rest of the world, but especially third world countries. Even if it were possible to end mass immigration through legislation, force, and walls; we would only be postponing a greater crisis. Although immigration does very little to help immigrating countries, stopping it would hurt everyone. It would take many more billions of dollars to arm our borders and enforce our anti- immigration laws. It would send a very strong message of selfishness, snobbery, and neglect from us, which would further inflame the existing resentment they already have. It would isolate everyone which would endanger trades and give strength to extremist/ militant rule. It would halt our greatest contribution to Mexico’s stability which is trickledown education. A closed border means closed relations.
History has shown us the consequences of a world power taking advantage of and neglecting its lesser neighboring nations. Europe is a fine modern example. In all its anti-immigration laws and hate, it has brought on itself unrest and terrorism fueled by resentment from their poorest neighbors. Much as Europe has a divided societies full of racism. The whole world throws trillions of dollars in aid at their exploited neighbors.
I want to stop mass immigration, but his solution is not a solution at all. We don’t have any problems with Canadians immigrating, so why don’t we compare our two neighbors and learn the cause of immigration?
The real solutions: No more government aid. Export education. No more subsidized products. Export education. Legalize all products. Export education. End all government sales of weapons. Export education. Privatize our schools. Export education, not people.
