Do You Support Ending Birthright Citizenship?

Rand Paul was right on this, Trump was right on this, Cruz is right on this, Walker’s right on this. After taking a trip overseas as an adult, Wong was refused entry into the United States, under a newly enacted law that restricted immigration from China and prohibited Chinese immigrants from becoming naturalized citizens.

When Donald Trump proposed an end to birthright citizenship, he said that he didn’t believe “anchor babies” – a term used to refer to children born in the United States to undocumented immigrant parents – were actual American citizens.

This preposterous position, which deserves to be quickly condemned by all presidential candidates, including President Obama, is popular among Republican voters. All of the seventeen Republican candidates have called for strong measures to stop people from entering the country illegally, especially from Mexico.

“If you want a policy of open borders, that anybody born here should become a United States citizen, you amend the Constitution”.

When Trump agrees to be interviewed or attend a debate, he receives something else in lieu of a check: exposure. Given this scenario, it’s impossible for Trump or any other Republican presidential candidate to defeat Hilary Clinton, the expected Democratic nominee, with the inhumane onslaughts against honest, hard-working and family-oriented Latino immigrants.

Sanchez added that her parents have seven children in the United States and all of them are law abiding citizens and are paying their taxes.

Farias justifies his argument by citing the 14th Amendment, itself a later addition to the Constitution.

For now, Trump is not explicitly advocating a constitutional revision, but that hasn’t stopped other 2016 Republicans from doing just that. Zero! It had to do with political allegiance to the United States of America.

A tourist and his wife said they would not vote for Sanders or Trump.

Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly grilled Trump on Tuesday, based on the widely shared premise that ending birthright citizenship would require changing the Constitution to excise or edit the first sentence of the Fourteenth Amendment. I’ve introduced legislation in the U.S. Senate to make those necessary clarifications and close the loopholes in our immigration laws to make sure that birthright citizenship is given only to the children of U.S. citizens and legal resident aliens. It’s becoming more rare, too: in recent years several countries with similar roots in English common law-Australia, New Zealand, Ireland-have revised their own jus soli provisions. In addition to the hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants we admit each year, our country must also prepare for the economic, educational, health care and infrastructure responsibilities and consequences of illegal immigrants who cross the border and then have a child in the USA. Anti-slavery northern states defeated pro-slavery southern states in the war.

T]he Supreme Court has never ruled that the children of illegal aliens are American citizens. However, children of diplomats, invading armies and those born on foreign public ships do not get automatic citizenship.

The media is trying to defend what they’ve been saying, however, by looking at two Supreme Court cases.

Now here’s the good news, there’s another part of the Constitution. Mario Ritter was the editor. Now you have some slip and fall lawyers, some phony constitutional lawyers, they have esquire after their name, they come on TV, they go all over the place. You hear what you want to hear.
