I applaud this guy's efforts and am behind him 100%. But, the War between the States and the 14th amendment ended state citizenship.

Ping!
It’s about time someone addressed the anchor baby issue.
Seems to me it'd be pretty easy to write up some contracts with doctors right across the Arizona border in Mexico who'd be quite happy to handle 99% of these cases.
This should minimize the unsightly incidence of severely injured foreign workers dieing in the streets and messing up the flow of traffic.

I disagree. Earlier immigration to the US was done by people who wanted to be absorbed into this country and its culture. That is not the case today. Hispanics don't want to learn English and this country, so far, has been so politically correct to accommodate them on this point it approaches stupidity. Muslim immigrants want to replace our Constitution with Sharia Law making this country a theocracy.
The fact is that illegal immigrants are breaking the laws of the Land and I have absolutely no tolerance for it. They come here illegally and then bitch when they are denied this or that benefit extended "to other US citizens". Sorry, Paco, you are not a citizen. Go through the process, come here legally, become part of the US rather than trying to make it a suburb of your country, and I'll welcome you with open arms. Otherwise, you're nothing but a common criminal and I will treat you as such.
I want this guy to run for President!
True. But trying to do so on the State level is ludicrous.
I love that at least ONE parent has to be an American Citizen.
IMO, that's one incentive he's got backwards: what you want to do is make top level managers at their employers personally responsible for the costs when undocumented workers get hurt on the job, irrespective of whether the business is incorporated or an LLC. Their company hired Pedro to avoid paying taxes and workers comp premiums to improve the bottom line, they should directly and personally bear the consequences if the policy backfires.
No chit! No wonder they are clamoring to get here. Look at all the ‘bennies’ they are getting. And these are just some of them. How about food stamps, housing,etc.?
No matter what, Nappie will find some way to stall if not block it.
If we actually got a state to deny citizen ship to babies born of illegal aliens,,it would go all the way to the supreme court and might finally resolve the current view of the 14th.
So..go for it AZ.
"We are deciding who and who isn't American based on who their parents are and what their parents have done," he said. "That strikes me as undemocratic, and it really shakes the principles on which our country was founded."
Our country is a REPUBLIC, which means it is a government of LAWS! The word DEMOCRACY is nowhere found in our Constitution. It was our forefathers intent to make sure we did not have a DEMOCRACY. I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the REPUBLIC for which it stands, it's not the Democracy for which it stands. And there is a huge difference between a democracy and a republic. Sorry for the rant but it drives me crazy.
This is not fair to those of us who were born while both of our parents were in the USA legally as permanent residents who at the time were in the process of legally obtaining US citizenship. Why should we be denied our birthright because of these illegal scumbags?
Sounds good to me.
The ideal here is to get a court case that can be taken to the supreme court.
I agree with his goal, but don’t think there is a chance the Courts will agree.
I don't think the USSC has ever said a state has to issue a birth certificate ~
So what's your complaint? If the parents don't have a visa authorizing them to immigrate to the USA that particular decision doesn't apply.
