But then you'd have to legally define what an 'anchor baby' is. How about a co-worker of mine and his wife who were here on a 2 year assignment from the UK? Their oldest son was born here in SoCal and so he's technically an American citizen although he now lives in England. Would he be considered an 'anchor baby' or would you grant him an exception because his last name is McConnell and not Garcia?
Be careful whenever you propose laws which requires a long and complex explanation as to what constitutes whatever it is that you're wanting to reject or protect. BTW, this is one the biggest reasons why we will never have an anti-flag desecration law in this country. It's judicially impossible to define what constituted, in sufficient terms that it would allow someone to be jailed or fined, a 'Flag of the United States of America' or even what would constitute desecrating it. For example, would someone wearing a bikini styled using the stars and stripes be guilty of 'flag desecration':
How about one of those Willie Nelson bandanas:
Or when a politician is trying to make a point:
Sorry about the diversion into the flag issue, but I was trying to make a point...
