The Magical Flying Anchor Baby of the Caribbean

Anchor babies and future Democrat voters rain down from the Caribbean skies like little demographic carpet-bombs, ejected from commercial aircraft.

Via The Independent (emphasis added):

A woman has given birth on a flight traveling from Jamaica to New York City – but whether the baby will be a U.S. citizen remains an unanswered question…

A baby born over U.S. airspace is automatically granted U.S. citizenship but the Caribbean Airline flight’s precise location at the moment of birth has not been confirmed

Regarding the child’s legal status, Miami-based immigration attorney Juan Carlos Rivera told The Independent: “The key legal principle here is jus soli*, ‘right of the soil,’ which is embedded in the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

“U.S. airspace is considered U.S. territory, so if this baby was born while the plane was within 12 nautical miles of the U.S. coastline, she or he would automatically qualify for U.S. citizenship by birthright. The mother wouldn’t need to ‘claim’ it if the birth occurred in U.S. airspace — citizenship attaches at the moment of birth.””
