What would you call having a child on US soil in any effort to at least make deportation more difficult? How do you figure "anchor baby" is derogatory?
Maybe it actually SHOULD be, because when you talk down on something, most good people tend to not do that thing.
I hadn't heard about the amendment, so that's a dent in the armor for sure, but what do YOU think this country needs to do to fix its economy? You rip apart all of the politicians pretty equally, what is your gut telling you?
The implication is that any baby born in this country to one or two non-citizen parents is only done for citizenship purposes is pretty shitty. Yes, of course I get that it happens, but it's not nearly the epidemic that it's played up to be. It needs fixing. So do many other things.
I don't know what the answer is to fix the economy. I'm pretty sure that I'll never see it fixed in my lifetime because what's good for the average middle class American isn't what's good to win elections. I'll either need to be unemployed and on public assistance to get the attention of the left, or super right and self sufficient in order to get the attention of the right. Things that will help the rest of us aren't really important in our political system.
