Arguably, illegals aliens are the functional equivalent of the children of an invading army, which WKA specifically mentioned as NOT being citizens by birth.
"Arguably, illegals aliens are the functional equivalent of the children of an invading army, which WKA specifically mentioned as NOT being citizens by birth."
I've said similar. In the main body of the Constitution, in Article IV it requires that FedGov "... to protect the states from invasion and violence ..." and I note that it does NOT specify invaders need be carrying muskets. Indeed an invader can very easily be carrying their baby, a time-bomb for the American taxpayer.
The main strategy we should press for is the creation of a strong negative feedback to kickstart Self-Deportation. This is now in the embryonic stages thanks to Trump announcing a plan.
Next stage is a clear disincentive to remain here and motivate them into going home. The absolute best possible idea would be to announce intentions for a Congressional law and then an Amendment push for the following simple language ... "No person that enters the USA illegally shall ever be granted citizenship under any circumstances for life with no exceptions". Simple with no wiggle room! This would ignite an exodus. Stand back. The only ones that would stay would be those that never planned on becoming citizens. They are the ones that get targeted and deported.
So many idiots on Fox News including the idiot-in-chielf O'Reilly himself insisting that the 14th means what he says even though he didn't know what it really says at all. Clueless beyond words.
