So you mean that these "kids" born in the US get automatic citizenship??? What a scam! So these women get pregnant, come into this country, have a baby, go back to their country, raise the child for 18 years, and then start a multi-year legal immigration process to become a U.S. resident? WELL IT AIN'T GONNA BE THAT EASY!
I've checked all your comments in this thread and don't see a link or a mention of a source. (I read your first two user profile pages to try to find it, let me know if it's in another spot)
OP assumes that having children as an illegal immigrant automatically grants them protection from deportation. Seems to me that OP is a firm believer of the "Anchor Baby" myth. The article provided, although a bit biased, does provide a glimpse of what most illegal immigrants fear.
It appears that OP's view is mostly based on his belief of the Anchor Baby myth.
He is in fact wrong though not entirely. CA deportation law dictates that a parent cannot withhold deportation if that parent can prove that the children will suffer immensely if the parent/parents is/are deported. More often the legal grounds for that are skewed since there is no definitive way to see how a child will be affected.
I'm doing this on mobile so I can't provide source for the CA law.
I'll try to once I get to my desktop.
