Anchor babies is following the rule of law. The parents may have broken the law, but their baby did not. And as Archbishop Gomez indicates (and most people agree) the current law is dysfunctional and needs reform…Many kids move abroad with their parents as teen, it’s not a sob story.
Give em a year and I bet they are fluent in two languages
There is no harm in following the rule of law, letting them reside in their legal country.
Maybe they didn’t come illegally but were working on visa extensions? It seems illegality covers a lot of ground.
I argue with the logic–the idea that they should not be deported *for this reason * is a lousy argument.
well said.If their parents came here from Mexico, Spanish or as you state, the languages of Mexico, are their first language. English is their second language .
I think building a wall and securing the borders is a good thing, so that people can decide who and who doesn’t come into their Country just like we would our homes.
This involves two separate problems. Used to be that poor people earned extra money by doing agricultural work; this is no longer feasible as their welfare would be messed up.
Whether it’s their first or second language, we can always use someone who is well-versed in English. Reading comprehension in this country can’t get much worse.
What are you talking about? If these children were born here, they’re US citizens. You want to deport US citizens?Many kids move abroad with their parents as teen, it’s not a sob story.

Removing this type of amnesty is exactly what Trump is trying to do. So more deportations are justified because they now become illegal immigrants. How dehumanizing.
I think it’s your first sentenceI don’t understand, but overall, I’m not sure what you mean. We don’t have amnesty right now…
lol, Seriously though. Isn’t this in effect saying that illegal immigrants are essentially being used as slave labor then if that’s how you view those jobs? Because if that’s the motivation for keeping illegal immigrants I think it is a wrong and immoral one.
That is exactly what is going on. It is the same with H1B visas. There is always some poor group who can be exploited for labor against the interests of the poor locals. The difference today is that this system is absolutely incompatible with the social welfare state. You can’t pay tremendous sums of money to educate every child, legal and illegal, only to later pay many of them for not working while importing labor. Well you can do it but eventually it all falls apart and all but the richest people in your society will live miserable lives. Like so many things we do the cost is being shifted onto our children. It is very evil what we are doing.
You will have competition even without immigration. What do you think is moral, deporting all those who happen to perform at landscaping services better than you can?
But once legal americans hold those jobs, they are not going to work for $3. an hour or whatever the illegals were doing it for, so lawn care, and produce costs will likely rise.
Unless they have gone through the proper process, no.
Well, they are criminals.
If I as a parent refuse to pay the mortgage, the family will be evicted. My kids will suffer.
That’s what I’m trying to figure out…I’m still waiting for any of those who support deporting them answer your question as to why legal US citizens should be deported.
No. Let’s provide the parents the opportunity to become naturalized citizens.
