But I think the article is largely correct, even if we persuade the Supreme Court that the fourteenth amendment does not mean what everybody thought it meant for the last 100 years, it is probable that the court will still throw a wrench in enforcement and we will be left in the same practical predicament.
Therefore, you are right, we have to look to things like E verify with teeth and a real commitment to deprive illegals of employment in America. We should also look to stopping out right chain migration, as difficult as that will be politically.
Above all, we must stop all illegal aliens in America who are not constitutionally entitled to become citizens from voting.
Thank you very much for the clarity and an exceptional post.
Challenging read and highly educational. I try to educate myself to learn the facts so I don’t get caught up in the spin, separate the wheat from the chaff so to speak. I’ve put it to use already in disputing some other readings I did after, so thank you. Bookmarked this!
That said, looking for direction for further studies of this subject. Especially for when candidates start fleshing out their platforms and promises to decide who I want to eventually support. Leaning Trump, but not too sure...trying to separate the realities from the populism.
I want to be able to ascertain promises as doable vs feel good fallacies. Ex, just watched a video on immigration. The whole thing was throwaway based on reading this article. So totally disregarded it. Probably would have accepted some of the premises prior to reading this article.
So birthright citizenship is a bust, no use persuing.
Concentrate on controlling immigration, current law, everify, and voting laws, yes?
Thank you again and I will look for your posts going forward.
