Anchor baby "US citizen" heads Mexico crime cartel; shows need to end citizenship by birth alone | Eastern NC Now

In most countries, the mere fact of being born there does not make one a citizen.  The nationality of the parents is a more important factor in most countries.  The US follows a minority rule where just being born here makes one a citizen.  That is now being cahllenged at the US Supreme Court.

The latest example of how absurd this US citizenship concept of anchor babies has become is to look at who just took over Mexico's most dangerous crime cartel, Jalasco New Generation.  There is now a "US citizen" heading Mexico's worst crime cartel.  The new leader was born in California to an illegal alien mother.

This comes shortly after another anchor baby raised eyebrows with her loyalty to her country of ancestry over her country of birth.  That was Eileen Gu, switching from representing the US in the Olympics to representing Red China.

The US 14th Amendment has been construed as giving citizenship by birth alone even though the Supreme Court has never ruled on that and the drafters of the 14th amendment specifically said it did not do that.

Meanwhile, a survey by a pro-migration group found that less than 4% of illegal aliens told them that they believed they met the standards for asylum in the United States. Most indicated they came in for economic reasons.
