    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 The United Kingdom and Australia repealed their U.S. style policy in the 1980s after witnessing abuses similar to those plaguing the U.S. today.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.…

    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."…

    Teachers today have the challenging yet rewarding task of educating a classroom filled with diverse learners who represent a variety of backgrounds and cultures. Within these students lies a multitude of opinions and viewpoints about controversial topics that are imbedded in some of the content that is taught.
