There was a recent poll which showed that the majority of people are against automatic birthright citizenship. The only reason it exists is because there has been a deliberate misinterpretation of the Constitution.

"The tough political tactics used by union bosses and Democratic machine bosses simply don't sit well with conservative Republicans."

This bears repeating because those of us independent enough to not be taken in by politics as usual are justs as liable to hand a politician his arse in public.

Don't Tread on me!

Sometimes you have to let people with attitudes like that lose to get their attention.

Oh, a Hillary conservative!

Sad but true

It would never get 2/3 of legislators in 2/3 of the states and be overturned.

Who little ole moi?

[Howlin]

You could be right on that; I just no it won't be one that requires mass deportation.

Entering the country and/or staying here ILLEGALLY is a crime, and should be dealt with as such, not excused for commercial (cheap labor)/political (Hispanic vote) reasons.

[Howlin]

Bush's plan is on the table; what is NOT on the table is any plan that calls for mass deportation.

[DTogo]

In a time of war, would it make a difference if it were just 1 million?

[Howlin]

I just don't understand that argument. How can you benefit from an illegal action?

[SC33]

Kyl/Cornyn, from my understanding, requires potential guestworkers to apply from their home countries, and has no path to citizenship as McKennedy does. It seems to be a pretty good Bill put together by two solid conservatives, and could get enough support to pass.

It also contains very strong enforcement provisions to be put into place before the worker program goes into effect.

If you can't see it, your not looking.

I know you hate to research issues you feel you are correct on. But really, look into what percentage of California's outstanding felony warrants are for Illegals. Look into what percentage of inmates are. It's quite sobering.

[marajade]

How is the granting of anchor babies of being US citizens?

[From One - Many]

there you just answered the illegal question at post 133

[SC33]

Automatic birthright citizenship, as you might agree, only exists because of a deliberate misinterpretation of the Constitution.

[Howlin]

Exactly.

[marajade]

oops meant to add being illegal
