Here is what the law should say, if you came here illegally and had a child, then that child cannot obtain US citizenship.
Levin was talking about this yesterday
I saw trump interviewed yesterday. Ore illy I think. He might have ear markings of the antichrist but he did not say what this headline says he said
I didn’t read the article
Most times articles that have a way too many words like this one does are just more bs
RE: if you came here illegally and had a child, then that child cannot obtain US citizenship.
That’s one way to look at it, but that doesn’t deal with the issue of those who are here LEGALLY and have a child.
Is your child eligible for citizenship at birth if:
1) One or both of His/her parents are PERMANENT RESIDENTS (i.e. green Card holders )?
2) One or both his/her parents are here legally ( e.g., on working or student visas )?
3) One or both of his/parents are here as diplomats of a foreign country?
Since 1965 democrats have imported 42 million legal immigrants from the 3rd world . that's 42 mllion voters for democrats added to the USA.Now these are the worshiped “legal” immigrants.
In addition there are 30 million illegals. and how many of those vote or donate to democrats?
See Ann Coulter’s book to understand why immigrants are destroying the USA
Trump was very solid in that O’Reilly interview. Bill was an ass as usual.
Perhaps we could cut the anti Christ stuff out? Trump in no way comes off as that.
I doubt Cruz or Palin would hang out with the anti Christ anyway.
Good find.
Trump is great and Cruz gives him credibility for potential adherence to the constitution, the real job of the president
I’d just feel better if I could counter some people’s objection to his rise in popularity being a freaky reactionary thing
That’s sll
His current popularity isn’t freaky. It is the result of years of PC and obvious treachery by political parties.
People have caught on to the scam and theft of our country by politicians and the media.
For years people have been silenced by being led to believe that most all Americans agree with the ruling class and the media.
Truth is Trump has been saying some of what he says now for years on his FOX and FRIENDs visits each week. So it isn’t out of the blue.
Remember when those townhalls happened prior to passage of Obamacare? The People were letting those politicians have it. It upset the politicians to the bone to have the people telling them off.
Now many have phone ins so they can hide out from the people. LOL
PING
1) One or both of His/her parents are PERMANENT RESIDENTS (i.e. green Card holders )

No, citizens
My naturalization document says that I am now a “permanent resident”
as for the other points, the child of green card holders is a citizen but not an NBC
children of diplomats are not citizens..
This article goes makes a good argument. It is a start. It will be an up hill battle to convince a lot of politicians and the courts. Trump is certainly creating a conversation. I don’t see Trump as a constitutional scholar (no candidate needs to be), so I think Trump is lucky on this issue. I hope other republicans do not make stupid mistakes by coming out against anchor baby legislation just because they want to oppose Trump. I have already heard a number of conservative pundits spew what they learned about the 14a in high school. Liberal teachers have been misteaching the constitution for decades.
It’s true. I listened to trump on savage before the last election. He seems genuinely concerned about the country. He should be. The d heads in charge of congress should be
The one place in the 14th that I wish the authors had used the word 'citizen' rather than 'peerson' is in the last sentence of Section 1:
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Think of all the problems that would resolve.
If that child does not have to be naturalized he/she is natural.
Chester Arthur was not eligible to be POTUS...
"Indeed, during debate over the amendment, Senator Jacob Howard, the author of the citizenship clause, attempted to assure skeptical colleagues that the language was not intended to make Indians citizens of the United States. Indians, Howard conceded, were born within the nations geographical limits, but he steadfastly maintained that they were not subject to its jurisdiction because they owed allegiance to their tribes and not to the U.S. Senator Lyman Trumbull, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, supported this view, arguing that subject to the jurisdiction thereof meant not owing allegiance to anybody else and being subject to the complete jurisdiction of the United States.
Jurisdiction understood as allegiance, Senator Howard explained, excludes not only Indians but persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, [or] who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers. Thus, subject to the jurisdiction does not simply mean, as is commonly thought today, subject to American laws or courts. It means owing exclusive political allegiance to the U.S.
All you need to know.
LOL! Depicting Trump as the anti-Christ is a sure sign that one has lost some marbles. Admitting to not reading the freaking article because of "too many bs words" is a candidate for the Blue Collar boys - "There's your sign"....
