President Donald Trump has made it clear that immigration will be a major campaign issue for him, in both the midterm elections and in his own re-election bid, and that was evident at the president’s rally in Florida on Tuesday.
“Republicans want strong borders and no crime. Democrats want open borders, which equals massive crime,” he said. “And on top of that, the Democrats…they’ve launched outrageous attacks on our incredible law enforcement officers and on ICE and our Border Patrol — can you believe it? People that keep us safe.”
Trump said Democrats, in their pursuit of open borders, also want to let illegal immigrants vote. “It’s crazy,” he said. […]
“We believe that only American citizens should vote in American elections. Which is why the time has come for voter ID, like everything else. Voter ID. You know, if you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card. You need ID. You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID, and you need your picture. In this country, the only time you don’t need it, in many cases, is when you want to vote for a president, when you want to vote for a senator, when you want to vote for a governor or a congressman. It’s crazy. It’s crazy. But we’re turning it around,” Trump promised.
He received a standing ovation when he called for voter ID. …

Nations don’t offer dual citizenship.
I can concur on that for voting, however there are other issues. My daughter has dual citizenship and my wife has lots of property in Thailand, without Thai citizenship you are not allowed to own property. So it is economically valuable to have dual citizenship.
BTW, there is more than dual citizenship. I know a couple where the father had dual citizenship and the mom from a 3rd country, now the children have Tri-citizenship (I personally saw all 3 passports for a child).
There are still lots of people who want to make Anwar Al-Awlaki’s kids eligible just so the Cubanadian can run.
“Oh bag it!”
You seriously need to educate yourself about the term NBC and the intent the founders wanted when they use the term. Ignorance is not a pretty sight on anyone especially when
discussing the US Constitution.
No you may point to custom but you won't point to the Constitution or the law.
Non-citizens should not be allowed to vote. Why is that controversial? Suppose white Europeans flooded South Africa to vote out the ANC. Imagine the outcry from the world community!
The issue of voter ID boggles, and frustrates me to no end. How, exactly, is requiring ID to vote racist??? Hell, even if we gave no cost government ID’s to those that can’t afford the $15.00, we would be better off. However, states like California, give illegals drivers licenses. So, there’s that........
Constitution:
Article 1 section 8 clause 4 enumerates the exclusive power of Congress to establish ALL of the rules regarding citizenship, who is a citizen, who is not, the process for being naturalized, etc.
In accordance with that clause, the very first Congress created laws regarding the establishing the criteria of who is a citizen and who is to be considered a natural born citizen. That set of laws has been repealed and replaced multiple times. The current set of laws are codified in Title 8 US Code section 1401 - Nationals and citizens of United States at birth

Those that are born inside the borders of the US are citizens according to subsection A. Sen Cruz is a US citizen at birth (naturally born) a citizen according to subsection G.
Your post is quite succinct. In a nutshell that is exactly where the USA and freedom for Americans is now. If Pres Trump cannot reverse the treason nobody can. God bless him and those who are working with him to save this Republic.
I think it is important that every time Pres Trump urges Americans to vote that he also includes the necessity to first register to vote. People who not accustomed to voting very likely do not know that they must first be registered and that is the first step. There is a cutoff date in many states for registering to vote in any election. Registration should be afforded for potential voters at all rallies of Pres Trump and should be a central part of all political campaigns. Register to vote for XXX etc.in campaign literature of all candidates for elective office.
I could have a British passport as well as my American passport, but British passports could be problematic, too. Remember when airliners were being hijacked? Back then I thought it would be wise to have a 2nd Briish passport, coz’ those with American passports were the ones being hauled off and slaughtered by the hijackers. I think if you fly internationally, it would be wise to have a 2nd passport you could produce from a country that wouldn’t rile hijackers if things ever got hairy.
Any country that would allow noncitizens to vote is beneath my contempt.
We must not become one of them due to the passive, weakling, cowards who seem to think it’s ok to allow such things as driver’s license voter ID for illegals.
Also, everywhere you go they demand picture ID such as pharmacy counter, most city bus lines (I have a “senior” one) and many other places. Their proprietors absolutely demand photo ID or no service.
Non-citizens who attempt to vote in American elections should be deported... immediately.
Ok you can just ignore this part.
So from what you have said, you want to ignore the Constitutional amendment that this is derived from?
I am of the opinion that the Constitution and it’s amendments are the supreme law of the land and NOTHING can be ignored. Please explain by what basis you feel the Constitution and it’s amendments can be ignored.
Show me the amendment, you think that states anchor babies are legal citizens. There was a decision that had an addendum surmising that would be the case but it was not part of the decision any more than a dissenting opinion is.
Fourteenth amendment, Section 1, first sentance:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. .....”
Yep that is what it says but this is what you think it says. “All persons born in the United States are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. .....”
Obama and Bush object!
