I first call your attention to this article, wherein which lies the following:
The Constitution says the following:
This bill is clearly unconstitutional, but you know, there is a point to this bill. It is a fact that illegal aliens are popping out babies in order circumvent the law. So, what would you do? A Constitutional amendment would take years, if ever, to pass. But did our leaders envision that that passage of the 14th Amendment would create such a loophole?
Liberal thought that the Constitution is a living, breathing document, and therefore subject to a loose interpretation, does fly in the fact of Conservative values, but an interpretation of the Constitution, saying Conservatives of creating a baby, after having broken the law, means the baby is also illegal, would mean Conservatives adopting a Liberal belief, in order to attempt ending the anchor babies loophole. And if Conservatives act on this line of thought, then can they still view themselves as strict constructionists? No, they can't, as they would then be laughed at as hypocrites, and an argument of strict construction on any other platform seen as meaningless.
Here is what I would do:
1) Work on the Constitutional amendment, which would, admittedly, be a daunting task.
2) Competely seal the border, putting so many troops there, that illegals cannot cross.
3) Illegals with kids already here get absolutely no welfare, health care, or education. Make it so difficult for them to live here that they are actually better off where they came from, which would force them to go back.
4) Jail employers who hire illegals. Again, make it so difficult for them to live here that they are actually better off where they came from, which would force them to go back.
I know that I am about to be called cold-hearted, but extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. The illegal alien invasion is stressing our resources to the point that Americans suffer for it, and America's duty should be to Americans first. After all, this is America, not the United Nations.
What I outline would not only work. It would not only be perfectly legal under the Constitution, but it would not undermine the philosophy of strict construction of the Constitution of the United States.
Discussion, anyone?
A Phoenix news station (KPHO) is reporting that the state Senator behind Arizona’s new immigration law, Russell Pierce (R), does not intend on stopping at SB-1070. In e-mails obtained by the local CBS affiliate, Pearce said he intends to push for an “anchor baby” bill that would essentially overturn the 14th amendment by no longer granting citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants born on U.S. soil.
The Constitution says the following:
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.
