How can you say one group should be deported simply because they are illegal, and then say that the law should be changed to make native born citizens illegal and call for them to be deported?
The Fourteenth Amendment (that's part of the U.S. Constitution) reads in part:
"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States "
Instead of changing the Constitution to make one group illegal, why not just change a statute to make the other group legal? I think there may be something about "illegal" that you don't understand.
That does not mean I am against immigration...far from it. It just means that there must be an identifiable legal process and we must enforce it. It also means that we need to gain control of our borders, which is the only sane thing to do in this error of terror and warfare.
Now, I have only one issue with the 14th amendment. I do not believe it was ever intended to be a free ride for people breaking the law to get here just to take advantage of it. That needs, IMHO, to be rectified and the "law" the congress passed would have to take the form of a constitutional amendment that the people of the various states would vote on.
...and I'll bet you, if it were ever passed on to the states for ratification, it would pass.
No misunderstanding whatsoeve on my part there...just an opinion on how to address what, in my view, is a serious probblem...illegal aliens.
The Fourteenth Amendment has been misinterpreted. Foreign nationals are not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. There are statutes on the books that state quite plainly that children of ambassadors and other dignitaries are NOT automatically US citizens. All it would take is a single statutory change or *one* Supreme Court case and -poof- no more problem.
