Should the jus soli doctrine be changed to stop "anchor babies"?
Answer:
NO!
they should change it to ,
"If the mother has legally entered the country and gives birth, then her son/daughter will become a citizen"
if not, then send them back to where they came from.
Yes, it should be changed. I'm sorry, but it's not me who is ruining everything; it's the illegal aliens.
Yes it should be changed. Either the mother or the father of the child should have to be a US citizen or permanent resident in order for the child to be considered a US citizen. If both parents are foreign, then the child should be considered a citizen of their parent´s country. Every other country has this law, why not the US?
ABSOLUTELY!!!! It should have been done long ago. Anchor babies were not the intention of this law. It is mis-interpreted!
They should change it; Come here legally, then you can have rights. Come here illegally, you don't deserve ANYTHING America has to offer.
Just because they are born here ILLEGALLY, does NOT make them a citizen!!!
If you are born in a GARAGE, does that make you a CAR???! NO!!!
If you are born in a hangar, does that make you an AIRPLANE?? NO!!!
If you are born in a MANGER, does that make you the Messiah??? NO!!!
Although, it might make you an @ss!!!
Yes.
Ireland was the last of the EU countries to do away with birthright citizenship, and Canada has done so as well. Do you see a pattern here?
For countries that subsidize education and services for their poor, birthright citizenship has become too subject to abuse.
Why should we be the only such country in the world that retains it?
What they are doing was not the intent of the doctrine and that loophole needs to be tied up nice and tight.
I would like to see one small change, and that would be if both parents are illegal, the baby would be given a delayed citizenship offer effective at the age of 18, when they can decide for themselves if they want to live under our laws. The parents have already shown contempt for the law of the land. That should satisfy both your viewpoint and mine.
The lawbreakers should be treated accordingly. If they want to give the baby up for adoption, then I would wave the 18 year wait for the child.
It should be change 1 or both have 2 be a US citizen no more anchor babys.
