Illegal Aliens and their children. Are "anchor" babies citizens?


Why do you suggest we treat parents who are illegal aliens and their children who are, also, illegals differently?  The liberal position seems to say if you have children, you don't have to follow our laws.  Now, what OTHER laws do they NOT have to follow?  I know we have somewhere in the neighborhood of 10 million illegals and it isn't practical to deport them all, but we have to start looking out for the best interests of Americans first.  We need to be very aggressively deporting ALL criminal aliens AND their families, regardless of where the children are born.  The parents go back and take their children with them.  Pretty simple.

Now libs will be screaming at the top of their lungs "if you are born here, you are a citizen!!!!"  and will cite SCOTUS precedent (which is rooted in completely inane footnote in a case by William Brennan, an extremely liberal "activist" judge who refused to hire women and probably the most inexplicable appointment EVER made by a Republican president) and the 14th Amendment, conveniently ignoring the fact that the 14th Amendment was intended to ensure that freed slaves were citizens.  It had NOTHING to do with immigrants.  In fact, in 1884, in Elk v. Wilkins (112 U.S. 94), the Supreme Court ruled that the 14th Amendment did not grant Indians citizenship.  The first sentence of the 14th Amendment "was to settle the question, upon which there had been a difference of opinion throughout the country and in this court, as to the citizenship of free negroes and to put it beyond doubt that all persons, white or black … should be citizens of the United States and of the state in which they reside.”  It says NOTHING about immigrants.

Regardless of what MANY people think, SCOTUS is not infallible.  Remember, Dred Scott was the law of the land for 50+ years.  They DO make mistakes when they allow politics to enter into their decisions.
