Anchor babies

[Eyeman2]

The Anchor Baby Law was put into effect in 1876 to protect the babies born to "Free Slaves".
I think it is time to repeal this stupid law.
After 2 generations, starting in 1876, I think the law has done what it was intended to do, and that is to make sure all blacks were U S citizens, no questions asked.
The law is outdated and is being used as a scape goat for illegals to get in and stay, because the tender hearted US population (ACLU) does not want to sepertate the parents from their new born citizen.
There is a law still on the books in Lenoir City that states, " a gun must be fired when rounding a blind curve".
I'm sure there are still stupid laws on the books that need to be stricken down and the Anchor Baby Law is the most disastrous of them all.

I don't see that how a law can work for Illegals. They aren't considered "slaves"

I do agree that old laws like that are outdated and done...but to spend the time, effort and money to vote them out of the books is silly too. Not to mention, its part of our history that shaped this nation. Some people pride in this..or not. Doesn't matter.

Lets not spend more time focusing on what was. What they need to do is get a grip on what is!
