Lobbying blog post #3

Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, chairman of the House Subcommittee on Immigration, is supporter this decision to somehow take care of these “anchor babies”. Right now many take this as a negative issue because it’s separating a child from their parents or others say that they had to struggle to even sneak in, so they should stay. Then there is also good media attention from news station saying how much these babies cost just to be born in America, and tax payers’ are responsible to pay for this bill that the hospital has for giving birth to the child. During my research, I haven’t ran into any people against this law that has power, but some people I found a while back, were professors at universities that said something like, “there is a solution, we just have to make one.” Even all the research about how much we are wasting on giving birth to “anchor babies”, there hasn’t been a policy put out, but the thing is, I don’t think a policy would really reinforce this to make it work. 

Rep. Steve King plays a big role in this because he is part of the house in some way. He can get his subcommittee to agree with this and then convince the committee to pass it on and show the legislative branch how much money we are spending on “anchor babies”

People who might care to hear about this subject are U.S. taxpayers, which is about everyone living in the States. Many people don't know that a hospital wastes about $30,000 to deliver a child and that hospital bill is paid from money from the taxpayers. If they knew that their money is going to children that technically are not supposed to be here, they might have a change of mind.

There is no time frame as of now, but I am hoping to contact a representative that agrees with my thinking to talk about where is most of the money from tax payers is going to.
