Completely agree... Screw ANWR and even the offshore zones. Oil shale is what we should concentrate on, with 2 TRILLION barrels of proven reserves there. We’d have all the oil we need for 280 years.
And the illegal alien babies? I think they shouldn’t be given citizenship but the Constitution says otherwise. So I guess the platform needs to include a call for a Constitutional amendment, not just a stance of ‘we don’t like it so stop it’ - that’s not how it works.
“And the illegal alien babies? I think they shouldn’t be given citizenship but the Constitution says otherwise.”
No, it doesn’t.
“Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”
Senator Jacob Howard,
co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.
