$6 Billion a Year for Mexican “Anchor Babies?”

Author: Andy Selepak
Source: The Family Security Foundation, Inc.

Date: June 6, 2007

Are you aware of a well funded illegal immigrant support group which funnels tear jerking propaganda through liberal media outlets about the plight of babies born in the USA of illegal parents? FSM Contributing Editor Andy Selepak exposes this “shamnesty” and the price tag for American taxpayers.

$6 Billion a Year for Mexican “Anchor Babies?”

By Andy Selepak

Another major flaw in the Senate immigration bill is the failure to repeal the provision that babies born to illegal aliens in the U.S. get automatic U.S. citizenship. This is known as birthright citizenship.

Birthright citizenship is one of the media’s powerful tools to advance the Senate immigration bill. The media use young children, even babies, as showpieces, arguing that if the government does not legalize, or grant amnesty to their parents, then these children will be left without mothers and fathers if their parents are deported. It’s one sob story after another.

An example was a May 20, 2007, article in the Washington Post Style section using a color half-page photo that covered the entire upper fold of the front page with the picture of a young girl crying while being held in her mother’s arms. The photo ran with the headline “Poster Child.” It showed a March 7 photo of 2-year-old Tomasa Mendez, “crying in her mother’s arms because her father was suspected of being in the U.S. illegally…” Mendez was born here; her parents were not. Her father was taken into custody by immigration authorities for doing illegal work at a Massachusetts clothing factory that makes backpacks for U.S. military personnel. The implication however was clearŻthat her father, and perhaps her mother, might be deported, and the poor child would be left behind.

The Post and Illegals

Notice that the Post says her father was “suspected” of being in the U.S. illegally when there is absolutely no doubt he and his wife entered the country illegally and had this child. We can’t even expect the basic facts of the story from the Post because they tend to make the parents look bad. And sympathy for illegals is a given at this paper. The Post, of course, is the paper associated with the Philip L. Graham Fund, which provided funds to Casa de Maryland, an illegal alien support group.

The Post exploits the little girl, Tomasa, and calls her photo “iconic” of the immigration debate, rather than use photos of illegal aliens climbing over border fences, or of illegal alien terrorists that were responsible for planning terrorist attacks here on U.S. soil, or of illegal alien sex predators, or of the illegal aliens that commit crimes here in the U.S.

This is the faceŻa crying girlŻthat pro-illegal alien supporters and illegal aliens themselves are using to support their cause. The Post even claims that Tomasa has come to “symbolize” the national debate on immigration. According to the Post, “thousands of posters and fliers featuring Tomasa’s tearful visage” have been made to influence the public and Congress and that the same photo was used on “placards carried by marchers at immigrant-rights rallies from Denver to New York to Washington.”

Anchor Babies or No Anchor babies. There will always be a DOEE and a DOER, no matter what happens when they grow up yrs from now. It will be up to them to succeed or not to succeed. That is the way of nature. Stefhen

With the 'Hispanic' birthrate cascading below replacement level.......where will your 'foot soldiers' come from?

If I were Mexico: I would be extremely worried about Nuevo Leon telling Mexico City to take a hike and petitioning to join the USA

If Arizona puts this issue on the ballot and it passes, then the courts will be the last word. If you want to know if the practice of granting birth-right citizenship will end, just look at each justice and come to your own conclusions on how they would vote. Good thing about that, is that you can't really do anything about it afterwards. Can't vote them out and you need some serious congressional override to reverse it. (not happening) If you don't believe me, just look at Roe vs. Wade. There where people bombing abortion clinics for god sakes, because they where so strongly apposed to abortion. Still the law of the land though, and will likely always be so.
GO ARIZONA!!!!! Save us all.
