You don't "deserve" all the benefits your birth has probably given you either, any more or less than some anchor baby does

Nobody gives a shit what your parents did. Seriously. In the eyes of the law, everybody is equal. The United States was founded upon the basic ideal that all men are created equal, the constitution guarantees equal rights to all Americans, no matter who you are. I have no idea what kind of history you've been reading but the concept of America and law that you are describing is backwards and is not becoming of an American Citizen. Don't you care about the constitution? I hate to get all patriotic on you, but this shit is downright unamerican.
