So if an illegal breaks into my house and drops a kid then they can live there permanently? The kid also?
Absolutely. As long as we willfully continue to misinterpret the 14th Amendment as conferring birth-right citizenship. We've done that by ignoring the "subject thereof" clause which applies to non-citizens and their progeny, who are subject to the governments of their native lands.
“So if an illegal breaks into my house and drops a kid then they can live there permanently?”
And, apparently, if the authorities DID grab the parents and deport them to their originating country...you’re stuck with the kid.
No one considers allowing the kid to travel back with her parents...not even the kid.
One of my 8th grade History students had a big whiny in class because deporting illegals isn’t faaaaaaaair! Whaaaaa, why are you so meeeeeeean to my grandmother! She’s niiiiiice! Why close the border?
In short...
“Uh, excuse me, girlie, do you have locks on your doors?
Yes.
But why? That’s so unfaaaaaaair!
But, but...
So, girlie, it would be ok for me to come into your house uninvited, sit on your couch, watch your tv and eat your snacks?
No.
Same with illegals. They weren’t invited and they’re eating my taxes.
Whaaaaa!”
Thankfully, the bell soon rang.
How many would advocate letting criminals out of prison because their child wrote a sad letter, detailing how they would miss their parent at Christmas, due to the parent’s bad behavior and the consequences thereof? We’d all feel sorry for the child, but nobody would suggest the parent be let out of prison. Same exact scenario should apply here. It’s a sad child and a criminal parent. The sooner people recognize that, the better off we’ll be.
