  • So, as an illegal immigrant you would decide not to give birth in hospitals, but instead at home. Now you’ve got generational non-citizens.

    There are definitely already people caught in this loop. It’s one of the biggest reasons I think we should allow DREAMers to obtain citizenship, too - they’ve been here in many cases for as much of their life as they can remember, and may not even speak the language of the country they’re citizens of. Meanwhile, they’re often educated, productive people who would be even more economically useful as citizens instead of having to work under the table. The last thing I ever heard Mike Huckabee say that I agreed with (circa his 2008 campaign) was “we’re a better nation than to punish children for the mistakes of their parents”. I’m sure he’s horribly against the DREAM act or immigration reform now, of course, but I did like that he said that back then.

    Most of which aren’t really compatible with living in a city, even if you’re in a house and not an apartment. We needed an entire garage stall for my husband’s tools, which significantly affected what houses we could buy and how close to the city center we could live. It’s a lifestyle choice, not something you just pick up on a whim.
