Undocumented Immigrants, you mean Illegals aren't allowed to have Gov benefits, true, but their anchor babies are and that's the issue. The Illegals get to stay and collect benefits through their Anchor. Personally put the USC with a family member that is a Legal citizen and send the parents back to where they came from. One way to slow it down if they know the anchor baby isn't going to anchor them anymore.

That is already happening, isn't it?  Legal children are separated from illegal parents.

But it's not clear this works, is it?  Cruel without being effective.

In many cases, children who are born to undocumented parents are born in the US and have US citizenship by birthright. This means that while the parents can be deported, the children have every right to remain in the US. According to the ARC, 46 000 parents who had US citizen children were deported in the first six months of 2011 alone.

When and Whether Children Born in the U.S. Can Petition for Undocumented Parents

Although many people assume that having a child in the U.S. (who is automatically a U.S. citizen) allows that parents to obtain lawful immigration status here, that is not the case. U.S. immigration law allows a U.S. citizen to petition for parents only upon turning 21. And in order to get through the financial-sponsorship aspects of the petition process, that child will need to be living in the U.S. and earning a high enough income to support his or her parents as well as any other household members.

An additional barrier arises in cases where the parents have been living unlawfully in the U.S. while waiting for their child to turn 21. They are "inadmissible" based on the length of their unlawful presence, and will likely have to remain outside the U.S. for ten years before applying for a green card with which to return. A waiver of unlawful presence is available in some cases, but will likely require a lawyer's help to obtain.

Where children are separated from the parents, they become in one form or another wards of the U.S. government--a direct cost to taxpayers, who must now care for them rather than wage-earning parents.
