Like I keep saying, having a child born here should not effect an illegal’s status. Those people should be illegal until they make themselves legal. That should not keep their offspring being born here from having citizenship. There should be no condition or litmus test to being a citizen. No one should be judged “good enough” to be a citizen or not by anyone. You are born here, God decided it to be so, you are an American. I am not in favor of Amnesty. I am all for sniper towers, barbed wire and mine fields on the border. I am all for every single illegal being rounded up and shipped home. But it is my true and heartfelt belief that everyone born on American soil is an American.
But it does affect their status. The incentive to cross the border to have a child should stop. What right do taxpayers have to control such expenditures after birth? Why shouldn’t a government have the sovereign right to control its borders?
What national security interests might be compromised? Think about it.
What effects on public safety and health? Look what’s happening along the border now. Keep looking the other way on immigration and it’s going to get ALOT worse.
And at the ballot box too. Not everyone can have the God given right to live here. Yes, we are lucky but just because of that doesn’t mean we open it up to everyone. It’s insanity otherwise and that’s what’s trending now. Project it out into the future. Pessimisitic? You bet.
