If Arizona wants to create a new law to prevent anchor babies, they should not deny the children birth certificates but rather take the children away immediately after birth. That will put some strain on the Arizona adoption/foster care system for a while, but before long illegal immigrants will get the idea not to have children in Arizona. If other states follow suit, then many illegal immigrants will (at least try to) return to their country of origin, or decide not to have a child in the first place.

I was in the foster system in California, and it is terribly overcrowded with illegal immigrant children and the children of illegals. What usually happens is they get caught as they cross the border, are ripped from their parents and thrown in the foster system. ): The ones who were born here become foster kids when their parents are deported.
I will tell you, the foster system is NOT fun. Yes, in general they take good care of you, depending on where you go, but it is NO substitute for a real family.
