This doesn’t change.. it is known by McCain, and it should be the way it is. Don’t lay that cost on the American People, and don’t continue to allow any thought of anchor babies to continue. Support the American People and the American Taxpayers.

The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied as recently-freed slaves. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by writing:

“Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country.”

Janet Fitz…The reason people have left the GOP is because they are really liberals that like letting things like this happen to this country and the true Republicans don’t want to let it happen.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

My God, shouldn’t there be a test to see if any of these people actually read the Constitution or comprehend it? The “gist” was get government out of our hair people. Why does GOP stand for again Griping Old People?

This is why many have left the GOP. Hipanisteria, sad angry, ugly Americans with nothing to do unless they are menacing and interfering with someone else.

I think something that would seriously curtail illegal immigration would be to seriously penalize companies that hire illegal immigration. The laws are already there just not enforced. They should adapt laws saying that any company caught hiring immigrants without a real work visa, and one that can be verified prior to service, will be fined $10,000 per illegal immigrant hired. On the second offense, the company should lose its license for 1 year plus be fined $20,000 per illegal immigrant. If after a year and the license is regained, if there is another violation “ever” then they lose their license for “ever” and the owner(s) of that business pay a fine of $1 million. I think if a company can be liable for $60 million for not stopping a hostile work environment (see Rizkalla & lssa v. Federal Express) If the illegal immigrants can’t find the work then maybe they will get a visa and work legally. They can then pay taxes like the rest of us and finally be legal.

I wonder how Mexico views illegal immigration in their country. If I lived in Central America and wanted a better life and figured I could find that life in Mexico, I wonder how the Mexican government would handle my illegal immigration?

Joana…don’t forget, those “rich people” pay for most of this country’s taxes. Without the “rich people” in the US, who is going to create jobs for us “middle class” and uneducated “poor people”? If you want to go on that tangent, the poor and middle class pay for a very small percentage of, what you call, the “US pie” than do the “rich people” .

What needs to happen is that each state should send a bill to the federal government every year for their state’s cost in dealing with illegal immigration. including health care, education and incarceration and then add another 10% to help make up for those costs that cannot be tracked efficiently. Then maybe…just maybe…the liberals in congress will try and help the Republicans fix the system.

Sdfsdf and all the other holier than thou people calling the US mean for wanting to enforce immigration laws. How is it mean to want everyone the right to become a US citizen “legally”? Is it not “mean” for those illegal immigrants to jump in front of those trying to come here legally? Is it not “mean” for illegal immigrants to take advantage of services paid for by hard working US tax payers? Did you know that in California alone illegal immigration cost over $15 billion a year in health care, education and incarceration. That doesn’t even take into account the amount stolen by illegal immigrant identity thieves stealing social security numbers and collecting social security, welfare and unemployment benefits. So you tell me….what is “mean”?

Speaking as someone who has LEGALLY gone through the entire immigration process for my Scottish husband and step son, using my own money, working 3 jobs at one point, to accomplish the LEGAL end result of residency, I cannot stand or understand, anyone who is lazy, ignorant, and pathetic enough to have “anchor babies” or enter this country illegally. If I can do it (without a lawyer, I might add) anyone with a grasp of the English language, ability to read and write, as well as a steady income has the ability to immigrate or sponsor an immigrant to this country. I have no sympathy or compassion for those who do this illegally and cause the rest of us, hardworking, law abiding citizens and legal immigrants so much grief. No soft touches on this issue!
