Government 2305, Section 73432

The process of traveling of people from their own nation to another nation for the purpose of giving birth is known as birth tourism. “Birth tourism” alludes to the act of making a trip to another nation for the sole motivation behind conceiving an offspring in that nation. Only, few nations give out citizenship to any kids that are born on their land and United States is one of the countries that provides citizenship to people that are born on their land. Although people from various countries come to United States of America to give birth to their babies and apply for the citizenship through that, I argue that the U.S government should not provide citizenship …show more content…
According to the article posted in Newsmax by Breana Noble some of the pros of birthright citizens are low rate of illegal immigrants, it could save on healthcare and social services, helps in protecting the countries culture and some of the cons are hurting diversity because people from different countries stop coming which brings diversity. Amendment to the constitution may be needed because 14 Amendment provides citizenship that is born on their land. To remove that it may take years and years of long process. Millions of American citizenship will come in doubt. According to American Immigration Lawyers Association by Crystal William, in situations where just a single parent is a native, the father is obscure, or embraced youngsters emerge, the outcome prompt to perplexity, court cases, and the opening of Pandora’s …show more content…

    Do Anchor Babies have the Right to Dock on U.S. Land?

    It is well known that a person born in the United States is an automatic citizen regardless of the mother's citizenship status. However, the United States is unusual in its offer of citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. Only a few European countries still grant automatic citizenship at birth. The United Kingdom and Australia repealed their U.S. style policy in the 1980s after witnessing abuses similar to those plaguing the U.S. today. Why does the United States continue to allow a practice subject to widespread fraud? The answer lies in how American jurisprudence has interpreted the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.…

    The 14th Amendment states that people who are born in the U.S. are automatically citizens. Because of this, immagrants from all over are coming over to the U.S. and are having children in order for them to stay in the U.S. I agree with this amendment, however others may disagree.

    The Pros And Cons Of Anchor Baby

    The term anchor baby is being used to describe the children of illegal immigrants. This child's purpose is to help the parents secure citizenship in the country. This practice occurs way too often because one out of twelve babies born are anchor babies (Semotiuk). This is crazy that the government is allowing this to occur. The Commonwealth of Independent States did a study and the number they found are absolutely astonishing. They found that between 300,000 to 400,000 children are born to illegal immigrants every year. They also found that spikes in the data occur, because in 2003, 2.3 million children of illegals were born in America.

    Anchor Babies Research Paper

    Many people feel it’s not fair that these "illegals" are receiving federal and state benefits that they don't deserve. When this child is born, the child automatically receives many benefits if he/she is an anchor baby. Their parent is illegal and cannot work and so they apply for food stamps and many other governmental programs. These anchor babies are a burden on schools, hospitals, taxpayers, and so on. "If there's abuse in the system where , pregnant women are coming in to have babies simply because they can do it, then there ought to be greater enforcement," Said President Bush "That's [the] legitimate side of this. Better enforcement so that you don't have these, you know, 'anchor babies,' as they're described, coming into the country."…

    Dbq Essay On Naturalized Citizens

    Foreign-born citizens are given every right that a natural-born citizen has, with the exception of running for president of the United States. Many people are opposed to this law and as a matter of fact, two proposals have been presented to allow foreign born citizens to become president of the United States. The United States Constitution should be amended to allow a naturalized citizen to be elected president of the United States. Naturalized citizens are being discriminated against. These foreign-born citizens have greatly contributed to America. Also, there are millions of intelligent naturalized citizens in America today.…

    Argumentative Essay On Anchor Children

    Children born of illegal immigrant parents should be denied rights to United States citizenship. A crucial reason that these "anchor babies" should not receive citizenship is because of population count. As more and more of these kids are born the more people are using America's resources. Over 500,000 children of illegal immigrants were born on United States soil in 2005 who were legal citizens just because of place of birth.…
