The term commonly used to describe an unqualified parent seeking to stay in the U.S. by having a child is "anchor baby". An honest lawyer as well as an honest client are both necessary to ensure success. When one or both try to cheat, it can end badly.
Does she have an immigration attorney yet? After the notification of denial, I'd think that would be #1 priority. Having a child does not automatically qualify you for citizenship.
I had a co-worker who was put in jail awaiting hearing for deportment. She was pregnant at the time, and had the first baby of the new year. There were tons of sponsors giving gifts & stuff along with newspaper interest...then they found out that she was on track to be deported.In 2007, Toys'R'Us had a public relations nightmare when they disqualified the winner of their $25,000 prize for first American baby because the mother was an illegal Chinese immigrant.
They cited the official rules where the mother must be a legal resident, but the backlash from the Asian community, the press, and the media from overseas in Asia caused Toys'R'Us to award the prize. There is a proposal to outlaw anchor babies in federal immigration law -- H.R. 1868: Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 There are pros and cons. From a personal standpoint, many people would fear the deportation of friends and family.
For others, there would be a reduction (how measurable is questionable) of immigrants who came into the host country illegally.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
