Runt Paul will sponsor a companion bill in the Senate in 5 4 3 2..
If amnesty is a foregone conclusion I think we should be focusing on extracting Economic or Territorial concessions from Mexico because they are the biggest exporter of Economic, political and criminal refugees to the U.S.
What possible blackmail is going on to prompt these Repubs to commit political suicide just before an election? I have heard some people (aka ‘Dummies) say they are going to vote for the Dems because of this Amnesty baloney. Lord help us!
A law clarifying “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” of the 14th Amendment to prevent illegal aliens from gaining birthright citizenship would be an excellent first step. It’s absolutely ludicrous to believe the 14th Amendment was written to let people sneak across the border, have a baby, grant citizenship to that baby, and then use that citizenship to bring in their extended families!
Illegal aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction, i.e. legal control, of the US government. They’re lawbreakers who are here in violation of immigration law. They have no legitimate or moral claim to anything in this country beyond a quick deportation!
That's the same line of baloney GWB tried to palm off on us. Anything other than arrest and deportation is amnesty.
