Ted Cruz: Birthright citizenship “doesn’t make sense”
Even Jeb Bush, who famously called illegal immigration an “act of love”, tacked to the right.
Rand Paul Paul has fought birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment for years, introducing a congressional resolution in 2011 declaring that the amendment was misunderstood and that “a person born in the United States to illegal aliens does not automatically gain citizenship“. “I have said I am open to exploring ways to looking at people that are deliberately coming here for purposes of having a child”.
But in order to assure the repeal of birthright citizenship, the Texas senator also proposed wholly amending the Constitution, saying “we should change the law”. “That will resolve the problem we’re talking about and that’s what I’ve been talking about”. The majority held that the only people excluded from the operation of the Citizenship Clause were members of Native American tribes, who were then not U.S. citizens and were not generally subject to federal taxation. Wong was born in the United States to parents who were Chinese nationals. In less abstract terms, they’re affirming an unfounded nativist anxiety that birthright citizenship creates an incentive for child-bearing immigrants to stream across the border and secure all the benefits of citizenship, including welfare, for their offspring-what conservatives derisively refer to as “anchor babies”. As the child follows the condition of the parents, their status is clear: they too are present inside our country illegally and most certainly can and should be subjected to deportation. Conant said the two positions are consistent, likening it to support for the First Amendment while at the same time backing laws guarding against the abuse of free speech.
He’s open to ideas on how to address that sort of thing.

“Real estate mogul Donald Trump said on Sunday he is not intimidated by Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, given his fellow GOP presidential candidate’s handling of the Badger State”. I’d say it’s doubtful, but if President Trump got to appoint a few new members to the Supreme Court, it would become a lot more likely. “We have to start a process where we take back our country“.
“While they lead in the race for the nomination, Clinton and Trump have the worst overall favorability ratings among all voters of any of the leading candidates, and the lowest scores for being honest and trustworthy”, the release says. Making sure every employer ensures that the people working for them are legal to work in this country.
The 14th amendment predated the concept of immigration, it was set up to grant former slaves citizenship.
US and Canada are nearly the only countries left that grant birthright citizenship.
In Canada, they are called Passport Babies, and Birth Tourism.
Immigration has nothing to do with Illegal Immigration.
