Child abuse. This is going to haunt these kids the rest of their lives. And worse, exposing this only makes it that much easier to abuse the next bunch of kids that come up.

There is a great unresolved problem, never adequately addressed by any Supreme Court decision, in relation to the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, that somehow rationalizes these children born of persons not legally residents, but only transients, of the United States, are automatically United State citizens.

The analogy of a cat having kittens in the oven of an abandoned stove, and the kittens not being biscuits, applies here. Certain things have to be done to assure that what comes out of that oven are, in fact, either kittens or biscuits, but they cannot be both, as the way of arriving at either result makes the two outcomes mutual exclusives.

Now, a special exception COULD be made for those children born here of non-resident alien parents, that they may APPLY for US citizenship once they reach the age of majority, otherwise they are of the nationality of their birth parents. But until they have gone through the entire naturalization process, they are not yet US citizens. This is much different than an automatic grant, but it is meant to be.

I’m not going to fault the kids for something out of their control, like being born here to parents that are here illegally, but, c’mon. That video was appalling.

This isn’t far from jihadis training 6 year olds how to kill.
