I’m not crazy about France or ‘Frenchmen’, but it’s a pretty safe bet that several million of them would not chance American culture too much (other than complaining about everything and having to explain to their babes that some beaches still require tops).
But that is NOT the issue here. The people taking advantage of our Open Borders polices consist of two types: Those from south of the border, and those that approve of 9/11.

Dear Pascal-Emmanuel Gobry. Why does France not have birthright citizenship? if you can't honestly answer that, then just shut up. You have zero credibility on this issue.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Because we don’t already have enough foreigners scamming us for free stuff.

America need a pain in the ass like America need birthright citizenship. You want to play the system you really don’t want to be a real American.

If you are correct that is an excellent point. Thank you!!!

not only does he have zero credibility on the issue, but France has insanely let in over 5 million Islamics....
who are busy attacking French citizens and burning cars down and all sorts of troubles
there is only one large group of people on planet earth who are trained from birth to hate Christians and Jews (and America and Europe, being countries full of Christians and Jews). These people are also instructed to infiltrate, lie as much as necessary, take over and subjugate the infidels (whether Christians, Jews, or otherwise).
Guess which one large group of people this is?
Yup, it is the very group that the French ruling elite has been let move into France BY THE MILLIONS
sorry, French friends ...but USA can’t save you from your committing suicide

Sorry, Donald Trump: America needs birthright citizenship No, we don't, Grubby.
Find out what birthright citizenship is, before engaging mouth.
Birthright citizenship should be both transparent and totally uncontroversial.
Your understanding of it is ignorant... as in not totally informed about the process and the history of the term.

Another clueless Frenchman. He ought to look at the myriad of French problems and try to solve them rather than opining on U.S. issues.

Karl Marx was the original conservative:
The Communists are further reproached with desiring to abolish countries and nationality.
The working men have no country. We cannot take from them what they have not got. Since the proletariat must first of all acquire political supremacy, must rise to be the leading class of the nation, must constitute itself the nation, it is so far, itself national, though not in the bourgeois sense of the word.
National differences and antagonism between peoples are daily more and more vanishing, owing to the development of the bourgeoisie, to freedom of commerce, to the world market, to uniformity in the mode of production and in the conditions of life corresponding thereto.

I like how when I’m dragged to court, I’m told that #1) I’m responsible for knowing the law and #2) I’m responsible for understanding that law.
And when politicians and talking heads don’t know the law, well it’s all interpretive. :)

It’s worse than anchor babies. Here in Oklahoma, pregnant illegals get prenatal care since the baby is going to be a citizen once it’s born.
To: Mr Rogers
But assuming you ship the parents out, and let them keep their kid - how will he learn American values while growing up with his parents in Mexico? Perhaps he will do that the same way as many legal immigrants do?

Who knows? In the near future it could be dog food...
.. if Planned "Parenthood" can manage it.

To: faithhopecharity
The U.S. enacted birthright citizenship for different reasons, to ensure the citizenship of freed slaves after the Civil War. But the point is that birthright citizenship is historically associated with confidence in the national project, perhaps even supreme confidence. Needless to say the author holds Indians (then), Native Americans (now) in contempt, as evidenced by his unfounded assertation that the 14th was a function of confidence in anyone born here.
As to The American project is so strong, our culture is so strong, our values are so strong, that any baby born on our soil, no matter where his parents come from, will ultimately grow up to be a well-adjusted American, so that we don't need to wait for him to prove himself to extend citizenship , the heck with Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me . Just get here and have a baby, stay away from Planned Parenthood.

Nonsense. We absolutely do not need birthright citizenship. I was told (I did not see it myself) that today Bill O’Reilly raved for the need for birthright citizenship and that the far left and Conservatives all agree on this. I wish he would have M. Levin on his show to tell him how wrong he is.
