For example in Mexico's constitution Chapter 2, Article 30, paragraph 2, states that you are a Mexican by birth if born on foreign territory, sons or daughters of Mexican parents born in national territory.
There are no such thing as anchor babies (its a emotional term brought up by racists and anti-immigration morons). they are children born on US Soil and are citizens by birth.

Either that or it is what you call a tiny anchor sitting next to a full size anchor.
This entire country was founded on the idea of people being able to come from anywhere and settle here for a better life. You wouldn't exist if your forefathers didn't illegally break away from somewhere to settle in America.
How can you be so unAmerican as to deny that right to someone else?
Illegally break away? WTH? Since when to countries stop their citizens from migrating somewhere else? You do know the difference between legal and illegal immigration, don't you? It's unAmerican to have immigration laws? Every country in the world has immigration laws which means you ask permission to migrate there first. If not, you are an illegal alien if you come anyway.
What the constitution says under the 14th amendment is "AND subject to the jurisdiction thereof".
Yes, illegal or not, anyone on US Soil (except for Ambassadors and Enemy combatants) are subject to our jurisdiction.
Quote:
Illegal aliens nor their anchors are under our jurisdiction in most every sense of the word.
Yes they are, in every SENSE of the word. If they break the laws in the US, they can be tried and convicted ON OUR soil, IN OUR court systems, and CAN BE JAILED here.
Quote:
They are only subject to our laws by not violating them while on our soil.
that's what subject to our jurisdiction means. To be subject to our laws (all of them). Not when they are not violating them.
Nothing about what you just posted shows any evidence to support your claim.
So you are comfortable with your ancestors gaining entry by simply showing up so that they could have a better life, but you want to deny that right to someone else? How noble of you. If your ancestors thought as you did, you wouldn't exist today.
Who is being denied? We allow in over 1 million legal immigrants per year from all over the world. Our population has grown immensely from when our ancestors came here and we have less resources than we did back then and jobs to sustain more than we allow in already. Our nation is already built so that and all of the above required us to limit immigration into our country in modern times. Are you really this dense and clueless? There are about 2 billion impoverished across the world that would love to migrate here for a better life. Should we let them all in and commit national suicide? Kill the goose that laid the golden egg so to speak?
