Judge stops deportation proceedings against Danbury family because of anchor babies

A federal judge ruled in favor of the defendant and has stopped deportation proceedings against a Danbury family. The judge said that deporting Tereza Pereira and Carlos Lima would result in an exceptional hardship on their two American-born sons, one of which is an honor student at Danbury High School.

Comments:

Without reading the decision, this is a travesty of justice. The two parents are here illegally, those that employ them are violating the law and those that rent to them are violating the law.

All subject to fines and imprisonment.The "anchor baby" children are not American citizens simply because of birth in the United States because they are sons of people who are not citizens.
In the same sense, that a son or daughter of a foreign diplomat born in the United States, is not a citizens.

The rationale that their deportation would cause undue hardship to the anchor babies is a judge making up the law. Nowhere in the immigration law is anything like that remotely proposed. By the same line of argument, one could argue that parents who robbed a bank should not have to give up the money because it would be an undue hardship on their children.

I think this will be a very important case, and should be argued to the Supreme Court. It has ramifications far beyond Danbury and impacts millions of anchor babies born in the United States. I am not so sure why they will immediately get any green card, but note if the millions of anchor baby children are deemed citizens, then under family unification, a one-year old can apply for entry of its parents. In fact, a de facto amnesty.

The impact of illegal immigration, while having these touching personal stories, is an unmitigated disaster for American citizens. Ecologically it means going from a population of 300 million (far too high) to 450 million in about fifty million years. Economically, it will impact the poorest Americans and send states like California into bankruptcy. Politically, it will mean that Los Angeles will probably declare itself independent from the U.S.(as Kosovo), Reconquista will be accomplished and California, AZ, NM and TX will become part of Texas.

Those who are championing this open borders decision better be prepared to know what they are heading toward, if decisions like this are finally the law of the land.

On 7/7/06, Mexican American professor Armando Navarro, who has organized many pro-illegal alien rallies, was quoted in the Los Angeles Times as saying, "A new majority is forming. Everything will change. The White House will be within our reach. We might have to change the name to the Brown House."
