Children of Illegals?
Answer:
First of all the interpretation of the ammendment giving the children of illegals citizenship is misguided and no they are not a citizen though the hijacking of the ammendment lends itself to the assumption. The 14th ammendment was intended for the children of slaves not the children of law breakers who sneak across our borders. No the mom is not a citizen. Yes women run across our borders having children google the term anchor babies for your information on that.
Yes they come over here to give birth. Happens every day.
The baby is an American but the mother is not. We should change this law. The baby should NOT be an American if it is born to illegals or any non US resident.
I would not doubt that illegals would do any and all things to use their unborn child to give them a free pass to stay in our country
the woman do have babies here and they do put a huge strain on the healthcare adn welfare system, however, America cant have it both ways. either we need them here to "do the jobs others wont do" OR we need to follow the rules and keep them out.
cant be both ways.
Only the person born in the United States would be considered a citizen, the mother would be an Illegal if she is not a registered migrant. Some women run across to get American citizenship for their children. It is just a way for them to try and give hope for their children, a chance for better living.
If an illegal alien runs across the border, gives birth to a child that child is deemed legal in the U.S. despite the fact that said childs parent's are illegal. Yes, both parents remain illegal and the child is termed legal in the U.S.
It makes no sense from the standpoint that the child had no business being born here, but that is the current law. I believe it is something that should be looked at for change.
The answer to your question is Yes. Hope that helps.
Under some circumstances, the child is only an American if they stay here. It does not automatically entitle the mother to stay here as well either. I'm afraid you have a skewed view as to why most people come to America. Most of them just want to make some money so they can send it to their families back home and feed their kids. If there was a way to do it legally, they would be happy to. The people who hire them don't want it to be legal however, for the same reason that they don't want drugs to be legal. It drives down the profits, and eliminates about a thousand ways they can routinely take advantage of the situation, because it's illegal. By the way, if you could give your child opportunities that you never had, what lengths would you go to, to ensure their success. Now why would you expect any other human being to do any less?
Their mom have no rights !!
When her son or daughter is 21 then they can make a petition !
but untill then, they got no legal righst just for having an american son.
no, no Amigos amnesty will be granted for illegals next week
so no more worries. voteyes for amnesty OK.
its a loop hole in the law that people use that should be removed the mother is illegal and so should the children
No the mom is not, and of course they do, everyone here lives on the border and they see them running across in droves.. just ask them.
No. Mom is not an American citizen, yes she can still be deported and yes, women do run across the border to give birth , even at the cost of their own safety. When the child turns 18 he/she can sponsor the parents to live here but has to give up dual citizenship and choose the USA as their coutry. I live in AZ.
No the mother doesn't become a legal citizen. But while on the subject - neither are the babies. So why does everyone still fall for that fallacy and believe it's true?

In the same light I find it amusing that there is another fallacy going around about Americans not willing to do the jobs that illegals get. When the truth of the matter is the US Government did this to the American workers who were more than qualified for those jobs.
1999: The US government passes the H-1B Visa amendments to close the loophole allowing Americans to be openly fired and replaced by H-1B workers..
2000: The US government passes the H-1B Visa amendments which almost doubles the number of temporary visas for foreign skilled high-tech workers from 115,000 annually to 195,000 annually for the next three years. the legislation was changed in response to the arguments of tech companies that contend they face a shortage of 300,000 workers and a 1.4 percent unemployment rate in the information technology industry. If they cannot draw the needed workers from abroad, they argue, they will be forced to more their facilities and research overseas.
And the odd thing about it is that these illegals aren't educated or qualified to do the jobs that those H-1B visas were meant for.
Edited: - Sorry Franklin you're wrong with the 14th Amendment, section 1. In fact because you so misread the 14th Amendment - you are part of why the lie continues. Note - It says Natural law not Common law.
The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied as recently-freed slaves. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by writing:
"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."
The original intent of the 14th Amendment was clearly not to facilitate illegal aliens defying U.S. law at taxpayer expense. Current estimates indicate there may be over 300,000 anchor babies born each year in the U.S., thus causing illegal alien mothers to add more to the U.S. population each year than immigration from all sources in an average year before 1965.
The correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is subject to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby.

To further mention -

The "loophole" which makes children of illegal aliens United States Citizens is set forth in Article 14, section 1 of the United States Constitution, which was enacted after the civil war. It reads:
"Section 1. 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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
It would take a 2/3 of vote of the senate and house, followed by ratification by 3/4 of the states to change it - so you can forget about that happening.
According to Supreme Court decisions, the term "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" in the 14th amendment, would not include children born of foreign diplomats or children born of an occupying foreign power, if the U.S. were under control of a foreign army. Everybody else born within in the United States is included.
The United States Supreme Court first held that a child of alien parents, who was born in the U.S. was a U.S. Citizen - in the year 1898 in the case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898). In that case, the parents were not eligible to become U.S. citizens because of the Chinese exclusion acts.
The mother of a U.S. citizen is not automatically a U.S. citizen. Only a tiny number of foreigners come to the U.S. specifically to have a child here. How you can believe that a pregnant woman would run across the border to have a baby in a field? Illegal aliens are people - not animals. There are approximately 12 million illegal aliens living and working in the United States - and they have children just like anybody else.
Well, the mother is not a citizen, however in AZ she can apply for benefits, i.e, food stamps, healthcare, housing assistance, for her child. Now she can't get the benefits, but she can apply for her child, and although, only the healthcare costs for the child are paid, there's no policing who lives in the housing or how the food stamps and monetary aid is spent.
