Anchor Babies and the Challenge of Birthright Citizenship - by Leo R Chavez (Paperback)

The Anchor Babies and the Challenge of Birthright Citizenship book by Leo R.

Chavez is a thought-provoking exploration of the complex history and ongoing debate surrounding birthright citizenship in the United States.

Through a detailed examination of the term "anchor babies" and its political, historical, and social contexts, Chavez sheds light on the ways in which this pejorative term has been used to stigmatize and marginalize certain groups of people.

By challenging the hyperbolic claims surrounding these so-called anchor babies, Chavez offers a more nuanced understanding of citizenship in the United States and the impact it has on U.S.-born citizens who live in families with undocumented immigrants.

This book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the complex issues surrounding birthright citizenship and the ways in which language and discourse can shape our understanding of these issues.
