Representative Duncan Hunter wants to deport the U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants.
Hunter, who spoke at a tea party gathering in Ramona Saturday, said he does not believe children born to illegal immigrant parents should get automatic U.S. citizenship.
In a video posted Saturday on YouTube, Hunter appears to be taking questions from the crowd when he is asked if he would support the deportation of children born to illegal immigrants.
I would have to, he said.
Its a complex issue and its you can look and say, Youre a mean guy, thats a mean thing to do, thats not a humanitarian thing to do. We simply cannot afford what were doing right now, he said. "Californias going under.
Were not being mean, he told the crowd. Were just saying it takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen.

Duncan Hunter for President. No more RINOs.....
Someone with leadership...not bi-partisianship
You're at least one half right.
OK, here is what I found on a very quick search:
In the case of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), the Supreme Court ruled that a person becomes a citizen of the United States at the time of birth, by virtue of the first clause of the 14th amendment of the Constitution, if that person is:
Born in the United States
Has parents that are subjects of a foreign power, but not in any diplomatic or official capacity of that foreign power
Has parents that have permanent domicile and residence in the United States
Has parents that are in the United States for business
I apologize for thinking it was in the constitution. I’ve read the damn thing so many times, you’d think I would have known it wasn’t addressed directly. I wonder why it isn’t? It seems like something they would have thought about before talking about everything else. Sort of, “here’s who can be in the club” before defining the club rules.
I stand corrected and humbled once more....
All they have to do is change back to the original meaning.....something about persons subject to the jursidiction of the United States. That's why the childred of foreign diplomats are not given US citizenship - they are foreign citizens and not subject to our laws.
Ping!
Equals children
“Hunter...said he does not BELIEVE children born to illegal immigrant parents should get automatic U.S. citizenship. “
It doesn’t matter what Hunter believes. It is current law.
You cannot deport the American citizen children of illegal aliens.
He needs to help change the law.
Right on Mr Hunter!
That is interesting.
If someone robs a bank or commits some other crime, we send him to prison. That separates him from his children. It’s sad, but it’s the parent’s fault for committing the crime. We are under no obligation to “keep parents and children together” when the parent has freely chosen to violate our laws.
That was very good .... interesting and thought provoking! Thanks.
I agree.
If he is like his father, he is a Great American.
Pissant,
Your comments using terms like “Aunt Chalupa”, “Tio Borracho” and “Frijole” depress me as a proud member of this great organizaion named Free Republic.
I don’t want to believe that you, as a fellow Freeper, are a rascist.
Comments like yours and from other individuals like you all over this great country, disparage us Conservatives.
There is no need for such language to make a point. You lower yourself to the emotional and immature level of the opposition when you speak with that kind of language.
Pissant, may you have a blessed day.
Twodog
The illegals don't decide for us who our citizenry will be.
End of story. They go home.
The Great One ping...
I can’t please all the hundreds of PC grievance mongers, so I don’t bother even trying.
Let me guess, a chihuahua that Quiere Taco Bell is racist too.
PS: I’m 1/2 mezcan.
He has been trying to change the ‘law’, but actually, it really IS NOT THE LAW, it is only being misinterpreted by a bunch of pansy ass clowns.
“Youre a mean guy, thats a mean thing to do, thats not a humanitarian thing to do. We simply cannot afford what were doing right now, he said. “Californias going under.”
BTTT!!!! Finally! Let me remind the soft hearted/headed, that our servicemen are separated from their children ALL the time...they don’t even get the choice to take them with them. And our servicemen are housed much harsher than the illegal aliens detention centers.
Heres how you do it.
