Anchor babies

The United States is a country that grants birthright citizenship to those who are born in this country whether their mother is here documented or undocumented. The big issue with the upcoming   presidential race is immigration. It has been a very hot topic specifically being spouted out of Donald Trumps mouth continuously. Here's the thing.... What does Trump actually want to do? He claims he wants to deport every undocumented person in the country and bring back the "good ones". His reasoning is to get the rapist and criminals that are undocumented out of the country. He has been scrutinized for using the term "anchor baby" because it is seen as offensive to some. The monetary effects of deporting everyone to start with would negatively effect the United States economy. Along with going against the 14th amendment that grants people born in this country citizenship automatically. An interesting fact that it is not many countries have birth right citizenship. It is not a common thing. You could examine what goes on in the Dominican where people are being scrutinized for their skin color and other outlandish factors in order to determine if they get citizenship or not. Some people in this world are statelesness and it is a very tragic matter. There needs to be profession on the matter of citizenship in the United Statss because we claim to be a melting pot, but if certain candidates are elected we will be contradicting what we stand for
