Diapers, diapers! We doan need no steenkin diapers!
Why can’t Mexico take care of its own people? Provide healthcare, education, welfare, and jobs for Mexicans?
There, fixed it.

What should happen is that the parents should be deported and presented with the choice of living the child with citizen relatives/friends or taking them with them. Once the citizen child becomes an adult they, as citizens, will be free to return to the US. Would that lead to a lot of family disruption? Sure it would but when parents break any law they are putting their family at risk and should be ready to suffer any consequnces. Having a child shouldn’t excuse lawbreakign.
Bump
in these economic times everything they give to children of illegals is taken away from the children of americans.
A definite misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment; enacted to legalize children of slaves, who had no citizenship.
This amendment was also never intended to allow anyone who was in the U.S. without permission who gave birth to make the child a U.S. citizen.
What the guy said was, "Do you believe that we should deport the natural born citizen children of illegal immigrants?"
Trick question. There's no such thing.
A Natural Born Citizen is defined as a child born on U.S. soil whose parents are both citizens. This is a qualification beyond just citizenship, and is the crux of the question for Obama.
A secondary point is whether children born on U.S. soil to illegal alien parents are even citizens: they violate the "and subject to the jurisdiction of" clause in the 14th.
So Hunter should have just laughed. The guy hit him with a strawman: he made the conclusion that just because someone is born on U.S. soil that they are "natural born". That's simply not true, on a number of levels.
Sounds good to me, if it means keeping the family together.
It's the humane thing to do. I like humane.
When the kids are adults, they can decide to come back, if they haven't commited any felonies in the meantime.
Okay folks, here’s the deal: Birthright citizenship is the law of the land, per 8 USC 1401 paragraph a. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/1401.html

So like it or not, “anchor babies” are native-born US citizens, and will even be qualified to serve as President after they turn 35. Now, if we deport the parent(s) of a minor child, it is in the child’s best interest not to break up the family. They can come back when they turn 18.
Hmm. . . paragraph d seems to contradict the Birther’s claims. The President’s mom was born in Kansas and spent enough years in the US, so he is a citizen, since he was born after 12/24/1952.
What Hunter should have said is, "it takes more than being purged from a Mexican vagina onto American soil to be an American citizen.
There you go, Rep Hunter. No charge for that.
Duncan Hunter seems to be one of the few Americans who is not pandering to the Hispanic Ku Klux Klan groups.
A truly great American
And we need to deport the Anchor Babies. They were born in the US during the comission of fraud and a crime (violating immigration laws). Its no different than stealing a social security number
