Fine, but those aren't naturalisations. Those are birthright citizens.
The babies are citizens....
We don't deport the parents because they are seen as the best person to raise their US citizen baby.
We could deport the parents...but that's typically reserved for felons of violent crimes, pedophiles, drug dealers, etc. Then the child gets shuffled into the foster system if they have no other parents.
If the parents don't naturalize or get legal status by the time their child reaches adulthood.....their parents are subject to deportation like any other illegal immigrants.
Given that the time period is 18 years to at least successfully get permanent resident status....that's what the majority of them do. Do I know the exact number off the top of my head? Of course not.
The other option they have once their child reaches adulthood, they can apply for their parent's status to legalize.
I'm not even going into the fact that in a large number of such cases, the child's social security number is used to apply for any number of public assistance benefits.
I believe- but could be mistaken- these are not counted amongst naturalisations, as these are legally distinct.
You're mistaken. The children are US citizens by virtue of the location of their birth.....but this doesn't change the legal status of their parents automatically. The parents are still deportable, but typically aren't, barring serious felonies.
In fact, not more than a few years ago, a ring of "midwives" were busted as part of a birth certificate fraud ring. Illegal immigrants would enter with young children (because after asking for asylum with their children, they get released with a court date) and they would pay anything from a few hundred to a few thousand for a birth certificate from one of these midwives claiming the child was born in Texas. The midwives were able to get what amounted to a legal birth certificate without any evidence of a birth at all. It only became obvious when someone actually counted and realized the midwives had to have been delivering 3-4 babies a day, every day, to have been justified in getting the birth certificates.
Its not a certainty that ANY of them are the result of someone originally entering illegally. Unless you have information suggesting otherwise?
What kind of evidence do you want? Do you want to see how many 6 month old babies are applying for food stamps? The outsized number of home births by midwives in Texas and Arizona compared to other states?
I suppose I could file a Freedom of Information Act request....but that's going to take awhile.
Again, birthright citizenship and naturalisations are different things.
Again, you realize that applies to the person being born....not their parents?
Do you think that they spend the next 18 years ignoring the fact that they can be deported in just under 2 decades?
Or do you think they push as hard as possible for legal status so they can stay and apply for benefits?
