"Anchor babies"

A misreading of, or a deliberate misinterpretation of the 14th amendment, has given rise to the phenomenon called "anchor babies." The children born to non-American parents are seen by and judged to be citizens by liberal judges who have overstepped their authority in reinterpreting the 14th amendment.

Think about the absurdity of this concept of granting automatic citizenship to babies of illegal aliens born in the USA. If an American citizen was on a vacation in some European country and the mother unexpectedly gave birth a month early in Belgium, the fact that her child was born in Belgium territory does not automatically make that child a Belgium citizen. Yet in the USA a mother from a Latin American, Canadian or Middle eastern country who births her child in the United States is granted automatic citizenship.

What is wrong with that picture?

Everything in my opinion.

Congress needs to clarify the intent of the 14th amendment. This one Congressman is doing his best:http://www.jbs.org/news-center/birchtube/924-Bilbray+on+KUSI+Birthright+Citizenship+Bill?userid=79
