This whole thing is only a patch for a broken system. All I'm saying is let's not engage in the same rhetoric.

I know you come here once every year and make a few self righteous posts and get outraged at the rhetoric but save your outrage for something else. I'm just calling a spade a spade. Someone marrying a citizen and getting a papers is following the law. Philosophically it may be something to think about about how fair it is to be a mail order bride but it's the law. Someone willingly breaking the law and coming here as an adult and then having kids here that the locals end up paying for (delivery, chip, etc.) for the sole purpose of getting a foothold in the country is exactly what the term anchor baby refers to.
The same people who had those kids then say "don't deport me! My kid is American!" as if they are more deserving than the other adults who willingly came here without documents or overstayed their visas, etc. Sure the kid is a citizen, but it's a citizen whose parents use as an anchor. I'm just pointing out that if this EO happens in this way, it looks like their plan to use their kids as anchors worked. Not judging, but it is what it is (or some other cliche).
So do we expect you to return to the forum this time next year? It looks like you've gone over your annual quota.
