No More "Anchor Babies"

Created by R.F. on March 05, 2013

Change the laws of the US so that if a child born in the US doesn't have at least one parent who is a US Citizen, the child is not a US citizen.

This no longer serves the interests of the American people. There is a well-known and well-documented phenomena of tourists coming to the US simply to have a baby which is then by default a US citizen. This petition is to remove that possibility. We are the only country in the world to confer citizenship based solely on the fact that you were born on US soil, regardless of the citizenship of the parents.
