Immigration: Arizona's governor tells illegals if you want family unity, take your kids home with you. And a Tea Party candidate for the Senate says just being born here doesn't make you a citizen. Anchor babies, away!
We've seen the photos of children holding signs at protests that read, "Don't deport my parents." They're called "anchor babies" because they're considered citizens by being born on American soil. You can't break up families, the argument goes, even to enforce the nation's immigration laws.
Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who had the audacity to copy federal law and then enforce it in cases where illegal aliens suspected of violating the law can't prove they belong here, has an answer to that too: Send the kids home with their parents; the family that leaves together, stays together.
In a recent interview with Tucson's local ABC affiliate, Brewer was asked about how to solve the problem of mixed-status families, in response to news that a local school district was planning to sue the governor on behalf of their legal children's illegal parents. Not pandering or tap-dancing like most politicians would, Brewer answered: "They can take their children back with them."
"It is illegal to trespass in our country," Brewer continued. "It has always been illegal. And people have determined that they want to take that chance, that responsibility. We are a nation of laws. That's why we are America. They made a decision, and, you know, you pay those consequences, unfortunately."
In other words, if you break this nation's immigration laws, being pregnant is not an extenuating circumstance.

What a title...
I can’t believe someone actually approved that headline
Americans who marry illegals should be stripped of their citizenship.
Sad that it took Egypt to show the light.
WTB good stout and/or porter yeast.
“Arizona’s governor tells illegals if you want family unity, take your kids home with you.”
That’s what I call balls - something sorely missing in the white hous (and congress).
Ping
GOV BREWER ---- the new symbol of American can-do.
You tricked me. I thought this thread was going to be about making beer.
Now I find out it is about Jan Brewers Yeast.
Yuck!!!! /s
Ping!
And this isn't even really "consequences". They're just being made to stop doing the bad thing they had elected to do. So even then, they're still better off than if they had never broken in to begin with.
I love brewers yeast full of b vitamins.
Put the child in an orphanage, deport the parents.
Jan Brewer should run for POTUS...
Any suggestions for mead yeast?
