The 14th Amendment has nothing to do with. An Act of Congress will fix the problem. Have Mark Levin Debate him.

Sure you have - you just forgot. And that’s a reflection on Gilmore, not you.

“Uh oh, Jim Gilmore?! This’ll have Trump quaking in his boots.”

This most likely will be one of those “entreaties” that Trump choses not to take up. Leave Gilmore to busy himself digging his hole a little deeper.

Why don’t the rest of your bastards actually campaign for something American, patriotic, rather than pander to the idiots who will nevertheless vote against you?

Where did we ever find this bunch?

“It guarantees citizenship to babies born in the U.S., even if their parents are in the U.S. illegally.”

It says nothing of the sort, it says that nowhere. And it meant nothing of the sort at the time.

Actually I haven’t. According to the article, he was a former gov nearly 15 years ago. He could knock on my door selling citizenship documents and I wouldn’t recognize the guy.

Trump has nothing to gain by even responding to this ‘challenge’. Most reporters know that no one cares about Gilmore as a contender, so they are not likely to bring it up either. Back to the drawing board, Mr. Gilmore.

In 1954 Ike directed our U.S. customs and Immigration department to deport illegals in the Southwest under operation wetback and hundreds of thousands were rounded up and returned to Mexico. Many more voluntarily left to avoid being arrested. I assume it was legal under the constitution then so why not now? All that is lacking is the political will to do so.

Oh yes. Mark Levin will settle the matter. (rubbing my hands together in glee!)

Reminds me of a joke I read in Playboy in the early 90s about Donald Trump.

A beautiful woman offers to give Trump a BJ for $1000.
Trump replys: “What’s in it for me?”

Why would Trump debate Gilmore, or for that matter, debate anyone?
He has nothing to gain.

Well said. I can't understand why the RINO's pander to these invaders (illegal aliens) who will always vote AGAINST them in the voting booth. I guess they are in love with all the money they receive from the treasonous chamber of commerce.

Trump should ignore him to deny Gilmore what he craves most, and that is some attention.

And that's exactly what will happen. The Donald doesn't have time to waste on back-benchers like Gilmore.

Is dumb ass Gilmore even aware that “mano a mano” translates to “hand to hand”?

When asked several weeks ago what woman he’d choose for the new $10. bill, Trump replied, “My mother”.

“Gilmore has criticized Trump’s plan to overturn the birthright citizenship provision of the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. It guarantees citizenship to babies born in the U.S., even if their parents are in the U.S. illegally”
_____________________________________________________________

Not necessarily:

“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

What “Subject to the Jurisdiction Thereof” Really Means:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2139082/posts

MORE:

Using native Americans as a reference to show that “born on soil” does not always confer “natural born Citizen” status:

“After the Civil War when citizenship rights were extended through the Fourteenth Amendment to ex-slaves and to ‘{All} persons BORN or naturalized in the United States,’ that Amendment still excluded individual Indians from citizenship rights and excluded them from being counted towards figuring congressional representation unless they paid taxes. This demonstrates that Congress still considered Indians to be citizens of OTHER sovereign governments even in 1868 when the Fourteenth Amendment was adopted.” (emphases mine)
