Meanwhile no new dreamers can be signed up
and many of the existing ones didn't file extension papers by last weeks deadline

NO AMNESTY FOR ANY ILLEGAL INVADER.
NEVER!!!!
Whatever plan they make to allow a class of illegals to stay, it should also stipulate that citizenship is forever denied. No one who enters illegally should ever be allowed citizenship. And it needs to say so in the law so a future president cannot change it by EO.
That would require a Constitutional Amendment.
Sorry, the birthright was written into the constitution after the civil war. Try to get your facts straight. “”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.” (14th Amendment)”
“And subject to the jurisdiction thereof” is the operative phrase. Learn some history.

Not according to Trump.
Not really. A simple clarifying bill would be sufficient. The author of the Amendment made his intentions very clear in his writings. It did not include any such construct as "anchor babies".
You’re entirely incorrect.
The 14th amendment can be clarified by the Congress, read the Amendment.
That includes clarifying the phrase “..and subject to the jurisdiction of...” in determining the nationality of children born to aliens in the United States.
And there have been at least 4 or 5 such bills introduced over the last 27 years none of which went anywhere.
But could now.
And should. No nation lets illegal aliens pick who their citizenry will be, which is what we are allowing when we tacitly allow their children to pretend they are ours.
Personally I am not horrified at the idea of amnesty for those brought here as children and have never known another country, but legalizing them should come at a very, very high price and it looks like President Trump is asking for that. One additional thing is that the "dreamers" should never have any chain immigration so the parents who commited the crime of coming here and working illegally can never be legalized. If the niños stay, madre and padre get shipped back.

>> giving federal agents more leeway to deny illegal immigrants at the border,
??????
What kind of leeway do they have now? They need leeway to keep illegals out?? The job of federal agents should be to 100% keep illegals out. There should never have been any question about this. If you’re a federal agent, your job is to enforce the law. Especially laws protecting the borders and the integrity of the country.
Just like selling a hotel. You tell them 70 million so you can get the 50 million you really want.
But seriously, there’s a small but growing group of people that realize certain things need to happen if this country is to be saved. Miller, Trump, Bannon and others including a few big donors and their donations are bypassing the rnc.
Oh, and there’s us.
That's correct. This may be heading in the correct direction to fixing this illegal "immigration" problem...but the anchor baby thing is a pure bastardization of the original intent of the 14th Amendment, and must be addressed.
The Supreme Court has ruled otherwise: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Wong_Kim_Ark
The courts do not make law.
An important line from the 14th Amendment: "and, subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
Jurisdiction has nothing to do with geography. It refers to political allegiance to the United States of America.
Article 1, Section 8, Clause 4: Congress shall have power to establish a uniform rule of naturalization.
The Constitution clearly gives Congress that power, and they have used in in the past:
The 14th Amendment excluded American Indians as U.S. Citizens, because they felt that they had an allegiance to their own national tribes. Later, Congress reversed course and legislated, under the 14th Amendment and under Article 1, granting US citizenship to all "Native Americans".
They have that power, and a simple clarifying bill would specifically state the language, and codify an end to the practice of "anchor babies". That's why the President correctly threw the DACA issue back into Congress' face.
We have now actual videos, tapes, and utterances as soon as they are made, regarding what a politician does, who to, and how often.
Time will show that past history is no longer the "go to" phrase.
Incumbents are starting to lose, retire, be primary-ed, and otherwise feeling the heat on their backsides.
it is up to the people to keep up the pressure.
I agree with you in principle. I agree with your interpretation of the Constitution, and of the 14th Amendment.
But the Federal courts do not. So unless Trump is prepared to ignore the Federal Courts, a Constitutional Amendment is required.
It will be interesting to see if our bought and paid for Representatives can bring themselves to do anything close to this.
After all can’t disappoint the johns that have paid them all these years.
Ah yes the lets see what comes out of the big brothel on the hill.
It's written in pretty clear English, no interpreters needed.
the Federal courts do not.
Well, they're wrong. They are anti-Constitutional Marxists and should be impeached for that very reason. The same type of left-wing-radical, political-hacks reside in the SCOTUS.
Their fiery Under-Lord Satan needs to call home a couple of Supreme Court "Justices".
