I keep coming across mentions that under current law, illegal parents can still be deported and that minor children must accompany them. When they turn eighteen, they can go to an embassy and petition to be given a passport. If enforced, that should settle the matter. Though I wish I knew more details. It wouldn't take more than a few well-publicized examples of this being enforced to take the starch out of the anchor baby phenomena. The deportation of a few of these loudmouth, media-savvy "illegal children of illegals" would also have a salutary effect.

Fine! Now, bring me the head of Ayman Al Zawahiri.
I want to lace up my U.S. boots and play soccer with it.

The Declaration of Congress was pretty open ended.

Anyone, even an American citizen, unfortunate enough to want to call themselves “Al Queda” - can be killed by the US military - and according to the Geneva convention - because they do not wear a uniform - they can be killed anytime anyplace and without any need to offer them a chance to surrender.

If you don't want these rules of engagement to apply, don't call yourself “Al Queda” and don't go to war not wearing a uniform.

No one wants to "change the 14th Amendment, Mr President. They simply want folks to acknowledge that anti-American terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki's parents weren't "subjects" of the United States. They were Yemenis. Little Anwar wasn't a subject of the US either.

That is the entire argument in a nutshell. The 14th Amendment was intended to specifically protect the rights to citizenship of Americans who were born into slavery. Subsequent, sane rulings by SCOTUS and legislation specifically excluded three categories:

1. Children born of consular or diplomatic officials here on official business.
   
2. Children born of invading or occupying hostile foreign armies.
   
3. Children born of parents who are not American nationals and here as temporary visitors.

At one time, these meanings were perfectly clear. They still should be if the libtard termites in our court and legal system were not hell-bent on making them meaningless.

If a person here legally on a tourist visa gives birth to a child, the standard procedure is to ask them to list the child on the parent's passport or visitor's documents as a logical step to enable them to exit the country and obtain citizenship in their home country when the time comes.

It logically follows that a person here illegally and univited cannot have superior rights to a visitor here legally, but that isn't good enough for the libtards.

Birthright citizenship is not nor was it ever intended to be a constitutional right for anyone except those born to U.S. nationals subject to our jurisdiction or slaves freed as a result of the 13th amendment.

If your parents are not here legally as in category #3, then they should be considered to be in category #2. That's all.

Alwaki was born in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

When he came back to the US in ‘91, he should have stayed. He could have become president, at least according to a number of people here, Rush and Mark Levin.

I’m sure that’s what the authors of the Constitution had in mind, but what do I know. The first “Yemeni-American” President. How historic. I’m sure he would have made a fine President.

Maybe his American citizen kids will move back to the US and run for President.

Good piece. At least al-Awlaki is now a good anchor baby.

Lucky Bush wasn’t still President or the Dems would be calling for Impeachment.

“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.”

-- Senator Jacob Howard, co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866

I believe the reports are that his mother was an American citizen. That would mean he wasn’t an anchor baby.

[dirtymac]

Why aren’t we eliminating the anchor baby provision in the Constitution. It was put in only to establish citizenship for the families of slaves. It serves no uselful purpose and has not for the past 150+ years. It is time for it to be stricken from the Constitution.

Killing people who are at war with the US is not murder.

Meanwhile "The Obama administration says attempts to change the U.S. constitutional amendment that grants automatic citizenship to people born in the United States are “just wrong."

The 14th amendment doesn't give automatic citizenship.

I heard on the Mark Levin show that they dropped one bomb and missed him- and that he was running away when they dropped another one on him

That made me so happy~!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope that they have video of the little bastard running for his life

It is amazing how this anchor baby information has been hidden by the mediots.
