"Anchor Babies", Immigration Policy, and Non-Thinking

     The present brouhaha over “anchor babies” (a pejorative term) and immigration policy goes back to the “Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1965.”

     That act gave immigration preference to, among others, relatives of U.S. citizens and permanent residents.  The basis for this was for family reunification.

     Eliminate that categorical preference and most of the issue goes away.

     The candidates for the Republican presidential nomination choose to fulminate and bloviate on this issue rather than do research and think of a practical solution.  This shows that they are unworthy of high office.
