How horrible!

[walford]

It must be emphasized that this is the humane thing also. Pregnant Mexicans are being caught trying to cross the border so that their child will be a US citizen. All they should come to expect for their trouble is summary deportation.

If Mexico is so bad, let them fix their own country.

[WindOracle]

About go**amn time.

[george wythe]

Congress cannot overrule the US Constitution. This is just a waste of time.

What about a bill making it illegal to cross the US border without proper authorization. Oh I forgot! It's already illegal to do that.

What about enforcing the current laws and stop wasting time in stupid bills?

[AnOldCowhand]

Ping for later.

Reverse the situation.

- Enter MEXICO illegally. Never mind immigration quotas, visas, international law, or any of that nonsense.
- Once there, demand that the local government provide free medical care for you and your entire family.
- Demand bilingual nurses and doctors.
- Demand free bilingual local government forms, bulletins, etc.
- Procreate abundantly.
- Deflect any criticism of this allegedly irresponsible reproductive behavior with, "It is a cultural U.S.A. thing. You would not understand, pal."
- Keep your American identity strong. Fly Old Glory from your rooftop, or proudly display it in your front window or on your car bumper.
- Speak only English at home and in public and insist that your children do likewise.
- Demand classes on American culture in the Mexican school system.
- Demand a local Mexican driver license. This will afford other legal rights and will go far to legitimize your unauthorized, illegal, presence in Mexico. Drive around with no liability insurance......and ignore local traffic laws.
- Insist that local Mexican law enforcement teach English to all its officers.

Good luck! You'll be demanding for the rest of time or soon dead. Because it will never happen. It will not happen in Mexico or any other country in the world ... except right here in the United States... Land of the naive!

[Melas]

Since when can you trump the Constitution of the United States of America with a bill?

[pointsal]

Yep....this is long over-due.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

This was the law until about 1920-if my memory serves me correctly.

[lodwick]

Great news! Thanks.

[Euro-American Scum]

That's awful. Where will we get future generations of wages slaves for multinational corporations? Our economic future depends on this.

[JustAnotherSavage]

Check this out. I'll do a search to see if it's posted.

Border Patrol agents deliver baby in truck

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas -- A pregnant Mexican woman who got caught after crossing illegally into the United States gave birth in the back of a Border Patrol agent's vehicle.

The baby is an American citizen because she was born on U.S. soil. But her fate, and that of her mother, are still uncertain. The girl was born 2 1/2 months prematurely and weighed less than 2 pounds.

She was named Sarai Marisol in honor of Marisol Cantu, one of the agents who found her mother.

The woman told authorities she had crossed the border with a group led by a smuggler but was abandoned because she could not keep up. She had been walking for five or six days when she became exhausted, said Alejandro Lopez Bajo with the Mexican Consulate in Laredo.

She was in labor Sunday when three Border Patrol agents found her on the side of the road near the border city of Laredo. Minutes later, the agents delivered the tiny infant in the back of a Border Patrol sport utility vehicle.

"I've never seen anyone that far along in the brush," said Agent Jerry Doyal, a former hospital corpsman in the Navy who pinched the umbilical cord with his fingers.

The baby was at a Corpus Christi hospital with her mother.

The mother can either take her baby home or make a plea to remain in this country. U.S. immigration authorities sometimes go easier on mothers of infants.

Where's the Bill to kick illegals out?

[k2blader]

GOOD!!!

Let's hope it passes!

[T Minus Four]

Yes! Amend the constitution if necessary! This was never what was intended when it was written!

[unixfox]

However, immigrant-rights groups say that citizenship is a fundamental right that cannot be taken away by Congress.

Funny, they left out ILLEGAL in this sentence.

[Condor51]

"Citizenship belongs to a person wherever they are born," said Katherine Cullion, an attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund, a Latino rights group. "The most basic, fundamental right is the right to citizenship in the country where you were born."

To paraphrase SNL; "Katherine you ignorant slut."

If you're not a lesbian go have a baby in Mexico and see what happens. Oh and sneak in too and then demand benefits from Mexico. And while you're there seek out help from all the 'Gringo Rights Groups' that are down there.

[Unicorn]

Sounds good to me/

[Black Tooth]

Bill would deny U.S. citizenship to children of illegal immigrants

It's about damn time.

[trubluolyguy]

Bill would deny U.S. citizenship to children of ILLEGAL immigrants.


And the problem would be.......?

[moehoward]

And away they go.
