Should Children Of Illegal Aliens Be Deported With Parents?
Most illegal aliens who have had children within the last 5 to 10 years are more than likely born on American soil making the children immediate American citizens.
So if you deport the parents, why do the children have to leave since they are citizens.
But who should take care of the children and why separate them from their parents if they are well taken care of?
Answer:
It seems like a no-brainer to me as well. If the parents want the children to come with them, they should not be refused. Even if the parents want their children to stay, the children are their responsibility, and they shouldn't push that responsibility off onto the American people.
They should go back with their parents. We don't need any more whining about tearing apart families.
no way should the parents be deported,,,but, the parents must apply for citizenship! must pledge their ways to the USA, pay a penalty, go to night school lerarn english and our laws and sorry to say, take some birth control!
yes they should not be american citizens since illegal aliens have been known to come to americe just to give birth and thats not right
Before deportation the parents should be charged with child endangerment, and do jail time.
If your child is a citizen in a country that you yourself have entered Illegally your putting the child at risk.
Under the 14th Amendment anyone born on U.S. soil is a U.S. citizen so children of illegals born here are citizens. I had a neighbor that was illegal and he told me that the reason they had children was because no one would be able to deport them then.
Yes the law needs to be changed and if your here Illegal you and your child should not have rights to anything. If you are on a visa and you give birth then i can see your child becoming a citizen. But person who has broken our laws no way should they be given citizenship. What dumbo thought that one up? Must have been on a week long high.
Yes, no, I don't know. They are citizens and should be able to stay if their parents would like and they should also have the choice to take their child with them because it would be sad to see their children seperated from them. Unfortunately, some of these people have used their children as greencards, welfare checks, and a way to complicate deportations. We need to figure out a way to stop people from abusing the 14th ammendment.
of course they should. the illegals are not stupid, they come here to give birth on purpose, knowing that they will be made citizens. its a bunch of b.s.
This is a horrible policy, for it breaks up familes...If it must be one or the other, the children should always remain with their parents, I hope it never comes to that.The interesting thing is that "anti-illegals" often cite the need to enforce the laws.. yet, "anchor babies," as so eloquently put it, are legal U.S. citizens by every definition of American law.
So, which way is it, are we going to respect the law, or pick and choose? You can't have it both ways...This is not only the law, but part of our Constitution.
The parents are the ones who made the choice to have the children knowing the consequences. That said yes the children should stay with the parents. When they reach the age of 18 they are free to come back.
The solution is to send them packing with their parents and require they prove they where born here (hospital records) but we should also deport any illegals that come to the hospitals (after treatment of course, and give them birth certificates as well) The child may come back when it's 18.

build houses along the border put illegals back in mexican side and their kids on american side then they wont be apart
Say buh-bye. These parents purposely have kids in the USA. What other country will allow us to sneak in, and not only PAY for the birthing of an illegal child, but grant them Citizen status as the parent's reward for breaking the law?
Wanna see the birth rate go down and our social services have a SURPLUS??
End the instant CITIZENSHIP to any child born of illegal immigrants. Treat them like any other country would, when someone crosses their border illegally...pregnant or not.

This policy does NOT break up families. Illegals coming here and having children while being illegal is breaking up familis.
The 14th ammendment was written for slaves
yes
Children under the age of 18 belong with their parents. Illegal aliens should be deported. They should take their children with them. THose American born children are free to return to the US when they are of legal age and can do so in accordance with the laws of our country.
Sorry, but taking advantage of our system by having those babies on US soil while you are here illegally should not be rewarded, and it should not be the "out" of following our laws.
Despite the fact that the 14th amendment has been interpreted as granting birthright citizenship It is not a legal interpretation. In actuality it is a myth. I challenge anyone to cite the court case which says that the 14th amendment guarantees birthright citizenship.
Anyone that has studied the 14th amendment, it's authors, and the proceedings of the 39th Congress will tell you that the 14th amendment DENIES birthright citizenship to the offspring of anyone owing allegiance to a foreign country.
During the reconstruction period following the civil war the view on citizenship was that only children born to American parents owing allegiance to no other foreign power could be declared an American Citizen upon birth on U.S. soil. This is exactly the language of the civil rights bill of 1866: "All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States."
Current interpretation blithely ignores the "and not subject to any foreign power" but again, name the court case that struck that provision.
Sen. Lyman Trumbull said of the above: "My own opinion is that all these persons born in the United States and under its authority, owing allegiance to the United States, are citizens without any act of congress."
Can an illegal alien be said to owe the United States allegiance? Can an alien be said not to owe some other country his/her allegiance without evidence?
The author of the Fourteenth Amendment, Rep. John A Bingham (OH), responded to the above declaration as follows: "I find no fault with the introductory clause, which is simply declaratory of what is written in the Constitution, that every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen."
Note the "of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty"
The children should be deported with the parents because they are NOT citizens by the intent and the correct interpretation of the 14th amendment.
The children should be deported with their parents. The parents knew the risk when they came to this country. Depending on how the parents brought their children and unborn into this country, they should also be charged with Child endangerment as well as they were committing a crime while their children are present. Furthemore, they should be charged if they crossed the border in a manner that endangers the childs life. How many children have died of thirst in the desert or have been killed by coyotes?? Is this really worth endangering your OWN childrens lives? Personally, anyone who endangers the childs life should be shot. Thats sickening and morally wrong!
No brainer is right. The parents can take their children with them, it's their right. Any parent who leaves their child behind - guilty of child abandonment, parental rights terminated, and put the anchor babies up for adoption to real US citizens who will teach them respect, dignity, and patriotism.
Yes
Yes, deport them with their parents. Then they can re-unite their family back in the country they came from.
Children should not be separated from their parents. Send the anchor babies back with their parents.
NO.
Are you saying we should deport American children?
They played the odds an lost,There is no sympathy needed for 1s that thought the amnesty bill would say them from deportation and had children to make it easy-er to stay.
Yes defanitely deport
