Anchor Babies…Next on Arizona’s List?

[Jermyn Davidson]

For the record, I believe that preserving the familial bond of father, mother and child trumps our faulty interpretation of the Constitution.


It could not have been the intent of our founding fathers, or anyone after them to allow or even codify into law a procedure where the parents are deported but the child is technically legally required to stay in the U.S.


Does anyone think that our founding fathers and the scholars afterwards would consider the illegal immigrant to be guilty of "kidnapping" or some other obscure law prohibiting the transport of American citizens when the illegal immigrant takes their child with them?


Should the children of illegal immigrants be given passports so that when they leave with their parents, everything is "done the right way?"


Again, our interpretation of the Constitution must change.

A Constitutional Amendment is not necessary. A common sense approach to the immigration mess is.

If a minor is in the custody of an illegal immigrant, when the illegal immigrant goes, their "trophy" goes with them. It's their child, their responsibility.
