If it's mind boggling to you I would ask chatgpt, it's mind boggling to me that you don't care whether it is correct...
But if you generally think chatGPT produces garbage, I guess that makes sense. I disagree, to me it's a good initial query, replacing google. As with google before, it is not authoritative (e.g AI may hallucinate, or google may land you on some SEO bs page), but I don't tend to dismiss its use outright.
> I googled and these are the results (…)
and then copy pasting the first page of results.
And underlying all of this is a sense that maybe nobody is in the mood to explore the finer points or these terrible acts. I can accept that.
Fact checking LLM copypasta takes orders of magnitude more effort than producing it. How about you do the homework rather than making it everyone else's problem.
"Everyone else do my work for me, and by default I'm right!!!!"
You cannot be serious. Bullshit-asymmetry principle on grand display right here.
I also get if asking the question seems obtuse in the first place. I am interested in exactly what is legal and not so it is clear what can be fought and how. But overall I am very angry about what is happening - apologies if it seemed like I was trying to justify what is happening.
There is a conspiracy theory that “anchor babies” will help undocumented parents avoid deportation from the US.
As far as I can tell, the usual thing that happens when undocumented parents of a US citizen are deported is that they have to give the child to a citizen relative to raise, or they take the child with them.
It seems to be extremely rare, though “prosecutorial discretion” can allow for a parent to remain in the US. There is no guarantee; an undocumented parent can and is often deported later, sometimes for minor crimes. I couldn’t find any stats about how often this happens but immigration consultants stress to their clients that they can’t rely on it.
If the undocumented parents have been in the country for 10 years they can apply for relief for deportation but that is capped at 4,000 cases annually. If the child remains in the US until they become an adult, and can plausibly sponsor a relative, then they can also apply to reunify with their parent. The deported parent may have to spend a minimum of a decade outside the US.
