No those anchor babies should not be granted citizenship. Check out this GTB post where that was addressed in some detail.

I like that 50% surcharge idea. Although a fee too high might prompt them to find other methods to transfer their money. And they will have tons of fake IDs to make it look like they are legal when they visit a Western Union to wire funds.

We’ve got to lock down the southern border. That will require full militarization of the southern border and starting work on a massive wall.

I would take it even further. I would revoke citizenship of children born here to illegal immigrants. Anchor babies/schmanchor babies. Illegal is illegal. Also, I would put a 50% surcharge on any wires of money to other countries by non-US citizens. That would put a chill on it and it would raise some money for our overburdened schools and hospitals.

I’m worried, though, that we’re just getting lip service from many pols because of this being an election year. I’m concerned that they will talk tough until the election and then they will all favor amnesty after the election (with the exception of Tancredo and a handful of others).
