I have to toss a red flag to this rule.  It’s my number one sticking point to everyone trying to stem the tide of Illegal Immigration.  If you deny these so-called "Anchor Kids" their US Citizenship, what pray tell would they be Citizens of?  Mexico?  They weren’t born in Mexico.  They’ll be _illegal immigrants_ in Mexico.  And you know by now what Mexico does to Illegals there. To make them go home with their parents like they’re Mexicans would be laughable if it weren’t so tragic.

This kind of legistration will only end in tears, especially from the children who will apparently have no country to call their home.  At least the guy in the famous story where he’s kept in ships for the rest of his like knew what he lost.  Where will their home be?  The border?  Or would they just be dumped and abandoned in hospitals by the truckload.  And I’d love to meet the heartless bastard who’ll just dump them back on the Mexican side of the border and leave them to rot.

Look, I won’t blame Arizona for having enough with border jumping and all the crime they brought to the state, but you needn’t put a boot to the face of an innocent child who had no control over where he was born—or who his or her parents were—to do it.  It wouldn’t kill you to show a little compassion with your conservatism.
