If a baby contest requires the participants parents to be US citizens?
Answer:
Would the baby be a citizen or not?
If the baby is not a citizen, then I would refuse the prize to them.
Yes. If the rules say open to legal U.S. Residents, then that would mean illegal immigrants are not eligible.
yes....but then we all know illegals aren't "held to" the laws so why would they expect to be "held to" the rules.......I plan to spend much more money at toy-r-us because of their stance on this! I also intend to contact them & let them know how I feel so they won't "cave" under the media pressure....we all know how the media loves the sob stories of the illegal aliens!
I don't know if it is wrong or right but I don't really care either.
I think that if a person represent the USA or any other country for that matter the person should be from that country, born or naturalize,, not the parents. Wrong to refuse the price to an illegal immigrant, legally or morally he's not supposed to be in the country. Is the same as in any other country.
I think the contest required the mother to be legally here.
And no, if those are the contest rules, those are the contest rules.
Contests have all sorts of rules.
It is wrong to even allow participation!
Obviously the then-unborn baby could not enter a contest to be the first baby born in the new year. So its citizenship or legal residency status is irrelevant.
If, indeed, the mother is here illegally, I would hope that she has bigger problems than not winning $25,000. In any case, she does not qualify for the prize, if press reports are to be believed that the rules required the winner to be a citizen or legal resident.
