Take Your Anchor Babies With You

Another ploy by the MSM to make us pro-amnesty:

Julie Quiroz, a 14-year-old U.S. citizen, has been separated from her mother for nearly two years. Her mom was deported to Mexico for being in the United States illegally.

At the age of 12, Julie was forced to decide between her country and her family. With the help of a Christian philanthropist, she chose to stay in the United States.

“It’s really, really hard to leave your family,” she told CNN by phone.

A study issued Tuesday provides one of the most comprehensive looks at “citizen children” like Julie who are caught in the cross hairs of the nation’s illegal immigration battle.

Nearly 4 million children who have at least one parent who entered the U.S. illegally were born in the United States and are U.S. citizens as a result, according to the study conducted by the Pew Hispanic Center.

That’s about three quarters of the estimated 5.5 million children of illegal immigrants inside the United States, according to the study. About 1.8 million children of undocumented immigrants live in poverty, the study found.

Tough break, kid! We all have them. Get over it. Don’t blame Americans because your parent(s) snuck over our border illegally and gave birth to you in hopes that we would allow them to stay because their child was born on American soil and is therefore a US citizen. You are what is commonly referred to as an anchor baby. That’s not my fault.

If you want to place the blame on someone, you better start looking at Mami and Papi. They are the ones who created a situation in which their 12-year-old daughter had to decide between her country and her family. Americans didn’t do that to you and neither did the more abstract America. Your parents used you for their own benefit and now the media wants to pull on our heart strings by making our country (the one Julie chose over her own family) out to be the bad guy.

This is all ridiculous. You should not automatically be a U.S. citizen just because you are born on our soil. This is why illegals cross our border pregnant and have so many children once they are here. They’re hoping that if they ever get caught their childrens’ citizenship status will convince immigration officials to allow them to stay in the country.

Illegals need to turn it around. We don’t owe you. You knew the rules and you decided to go for the gamble. You gambled that if you could sneak around here long enough and give birth to enough kids on our soil that once caught you would be allowed to stay with a nod and a wink.

You took a chance and it didn’t pay off. You had children to legitimize and avoid punishment for your crime. What kind of parents would do that? And, what kind of parents would allow their children to stay behind? Take your anchor babies back to Mexico with you. We don’t want them here.

CNN, stop telling me their sob stories. These parents made a conscious decision to create this situation for their children. I didn’t. I refuse to feel any sympathy for them. As for the children, like I said earlier, don’t be mad at me. Direct your anger toward the responsible parties: sus padres.
