If a parent gets deported, it is their choice to take the child with them or not. The point is, it does not benefit the parent to have an American child, as that child cannot grant them immigrant status, hence my issue with the term "anchor babies".
So, birthright citizenship is only a benefit to the child, who is not at fault, and should not be punished. Then if someone gets AIDS from unprotected sex or a drug addiction, should we not do anything to avoid the child being infected?? Aren't people who have cocaine addicted babies thrown in jail? I've never heard of them throwing the baby right in with them. This is the 21st century, certainly we don't still subscribe to "the sins of the father shall be visited upon the son".

Green Card
A Green Card or Permanent Resident Card discloses information that provides an individual’s proof of lawful permanent resident status in the United States.
Green Card Relatives | Green Card Family Members
Obtaining a Green Card through Relatives is one possible option for individuals who have close relatives or family members in the United States. Family members may be eligible to apply for permanent residence (Green Card) if the sponsoring relative is a United States citizen.

* Husband or wife (please refer to our Green Card through Marriage application)
* Widow or widower of a U.S. citizen
* Brother or sister (including half-brothers and half-sisters)
* Son or daughter (including illegitimate children)
* Stepson or stepdaughter

* Adopted son or daughter
* Adopted parent (please refer to our Green Card through Adoption section)

DO YOU HAVE A GREEN CARD ISSUED BETWEEN 1977 AND 1989?
A proposed USCIS rule would require all United States permanent residents with a Green Card without an expiration date to apply for a new and updated Green Card. The old Green Cards issued between 1977 and 1989 with no expiration date (Form AR-3, AR-103 and I-151) will be valid until the USCIS sets a termination date for the cards. It is currently not required to update Green Cards without and expiration date. However, it is strongly recommended to do so to avoid being "Out of Status" when the rule takes effect.
