Anchor babies

She was legal.

So, do you believe citizenship should be granted to the U.S.-born baby of an  Iranian woman impregnated by an Iranian man back home, so long as the woman is legally residing here on a student visa?

If she is legal yes that is not illegal.


Should Chinese citizens be able to fly here in the 8^th month of pregnancy on a tourist visa to have a baby that bocomes an american citizen? Then fly back to China with the little bambino.

I don't have any problem with the 14^th Amendment or birthright citizenship, though dual citizenship does sometimes cause logistical challenges for both countries' governments.

Anyway, if the mother being of 'legal residency' in the U.S. is your criteria for granting citizenship to a child born on U.S. soil, then the child of the Chinese woman should obviously be granted U.S. citizenship by your criteria.

How do you feel about a U.S.-born baby of an undocumented Mexican woman when the boyfriend who impregnated her is an American citizen?
