Should we continue to preserve the fictions around 'anchor babies'?

"My son and his wife went to a Boston hospital last weekend to induce labor.
They were joined in a room by five other couples going through the same process.
My son said one couple was Asian, where the man spoke English and the woman did not.
...man did not seem very interested in the mother or the baby.
Instead, he was very interested in getting the birth certificate and Social Security card.
He said it was absolutely unacceptable that it would take six weeks to get those items.
Does it sound as though these two are contributing to our economic growth, or does it sound as though they are using us?
They didn't have a pediatrician, and they couldn't afford to wait six weeks for documentation.
Does anyone think they had insurance?
We use the term "anchor babies" to describe babies who are born here to parents who are not citizens.
The open-borders lobby objects to the term as dehumanizing.
But make no mistake: I've seen instances where the baby is just a pawn for the parents to get an anchor in the United States so they don't have to go through the normal legal naturalization process..."

Psychologist: Social Justice the new Religious Fundamentalism | Intellectual Takeout
Psychologist: Social Justice the new Religious Fundamentalism | Intellectual Takeout:
"Religious believers sometimes say that atheism is a “faith,” and in that sense a religion.
That’s debatable because they’re using the word ‘faith’ ambiguously, and trading on that ambiguity. But according to NYU social psychologist Jonathan Haidt, there is a scientific sense in which a relatively new, secular “religion” of “social justice” is entrenching itself among students on America’s campuses..."

First A380 flown in anger to be broken up for parts • The Register
First A380 flown in anger to be broken up for parts • The Register:
"On October 25th, 2007 Singapore Airlines flight SQ380 departed Changi Airport bound for Sydney, Australia, marking the first commercial flight of the Airbus A380.
But the plane that made that flight won’t ever take to the air again and will instead be broken up for parts.
...“The main reason … is that many airlines currently using the A380-800 will have a high demand for individual replacement components due to upcoming maintenance intervals,” ...
Dr Peters CEO Anselm Gehling said “The market for the A380-800 aircraft type has not developed positively in recent years.”
...But the future looks grim for the plane.
Boeing will soon just-about-match its capacity with the 777x, challenging the A380’s selling point as the ideal plane for super-busy airports where landing slots are scarce..."

Jim Chilton, Arizona rancher, says Border Patrol agent's shooting could have been averted - Washington Times
Jim Chilton, Arizona rancher, says Border Patrol agent's shooting could have been averted - Washington Times:
Jim Chilton has long warned the government about the few strands of barbed wire that separate Mexico from the U.S. on his Arizona ranch.
He says the lack of a serious barrier, combined with the Border Patrol’s enforcement decisions, have effectively ceded miles of U.S. territory to the Sinaloa cartel, which has put scouts on his hilltops and blazed smuggling trails across his land.
On Tuesday that combination of weak barriers and few agents ended in violence, he said, after a Border Patrol agent was ambushed and wounded on Mr. Children’s property in what authorities labeled a “shooting incident” — and which has raised anew the thorny questions of border security.
The agent, who wasn’t identified, was patrolling alone about 4:30 a.m. when the shooting occurred.
