http://therightscoop.com/mark-levin-congress-can-end-birthright-citizenship-without-amending-the-constitution/

These classes of people, even if born here, are NOT American citizens under the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952:

a child born on American soil to a:

(1) foreign ambassador,
(2) head of state,
(3) foreign military prisoner

So what prevents Congress from simply adding another class of people to the list?

Sessions is a good man, but does it seem like he’s angling to be VP?

changing the 14th Amendment to end so-called “birthright citizenship.”

NO NO NO

Trump never said to change the 14th Amendment

he just wants it followed to the letter...

I don’t think this has to be “ended,” as it is an improper interpretation of the Constitution to begin with.

We just need to recognize the constitutional requirements for citizenship, not “end” anything.

Heh. If Cruz says it he gets no traction. I suspect Cruz is cheering for Donald’s assault on the establishment, the CoC, and the media. Mark my words... If Trump implodes his support goes to Cruz. If not Trump takes Cruz for Veep, and he has to wait 8 years for his turn.

I am down to two. I like Cruz and one other whose name I won’t mention right now.

Go Cruz!

I’m not going to bash Trump. I like the guy but I won’t vote for him because I do not share his views on key issues to me.

I actually asked Cruz about repealing the 14th Amendment at a meeting when he was running in the Senate primary. He didn’t believe in repealing it then.

It’s the only sane thing left to do to stop the alien invasion. Barry has made everything else “legal”.

Steve King already introduced bill in January to eliminate birthright citizenship HR 140.

In fact, every year for over decade there have been bills introduced to eliminate birthright citizenship.

Well darn.

I was just arguing with some fellow Freepers that Cruz has never been an advocate for ending this.

I stand corrected.

Seems like I remember reading a few years ago that one hospital—Parkland Memorial in Dallas, IIRC— billed Medicaid over 30 million in one calendar year, for labor and delivery costs for illegal alien mothers.
One hospital, one year. Extrapolate this to all the public hospitals.
And the 30 million was only the cost of the anchor babies’ first day on earth, not including the next 18 years.
These baby mamas are leaving the delivery room and immediately signing up their Little Citizens for the full package of entitlements.

Would be nice if Cruz would work with Jeff Sessions to limit rather than increase H1b work visas for foreigners.

called for ... and changing the 14th Amendment to end so-called "birthright citizenship."

That's the propaganda wording. No change to the 14th Amendment is necessary. Just read it like it is written.

What he said is a lot of legal experts say it doesn't need to be changed and it will have to be challenged in court.

He's supposed to be this brilliant constitutional lawyer and he never mentioned the wording regarding "birthright" for illegals?

Even Mark Levin beat him to it by days.

Were you saying something about "me too"?

In fact, where is his policy on illegal immigration? Everyone was screaming for Trump's and we've yet to see one from Cruz...Well, except for increasing (30 million) green cards and H1B visas.

Maybe he's waiting for his wife to get it from her pals at the CFR.
