Well, I don’t know what the case is (circuit or district level), but if it’s treated as the law, it is the law until it’s overruled.

Her son was born here. She will be back, have her paperwork in order and will have a very nice home and job waiting for her

It will be a long wait. Her son can't sponsor her until he reaches 21.

Exactly right. I am sure that her son has already been issued a US Passport.

Illegal Aliens don't believe they are subject to our jurisdiction and may come here when ever and how ever they please, therefore their prodigy should not be granted citizenship.

What they "believe" is not the issue. Plenty of Americans believe that the law does not apply to them, and they are equally wrong.

Illegals are subject to our laws, including the laws they broke to enter our country. That's how we can punish them (that we don't punish them enough notwithstanding). That passage was meant to refer to diplomats and others who by virtue of their position are truly above most laws.

I agree that it has been too-widely defined, but that is because the language itself is not sufficiently specific. The proper response to such a deficiency in the wording of the law is to change the law, as I have advocated in the past.

It is important that we follow the law, even when dealing with the lawless.

Her son was allowed to speak before the Mexican Congress to plead her case, when he did so it was as a Mexican citizen pleading for the rights of his mother as a Mexican citizen.

They cannot have it both ways. Send him home to be with his mother. Send him to Mexico.

One can simultaneously be a citizen of the US and the citizen of Mexico. Our government recognizes dual citizenship. We can argue that it shouldn't be allowed, but that's another subject altogether.

We must also make sure that anyone who commits a crime (including the crime of breaking into the country) is forever banned from citizenship. Her son is a US citizen under our laws, so if he has a guardian here he should be allowed to stay. But his mother is not, and will never be, welcome in our nation.

Missed that tidbit. Great news. Now why don’t we just end the bull crap of allowing someone to cross the border and automatically the newborn becomes a US Citizen. Was that the process our founding fathers had in mind?

The MSM has not covered this story much if at all.

Only in places where the net watchers would see it.

A complicated subject. I believe we should end it. The question is how, i.e., thru a constitutional amendment or a SCOTUS ruling. It needs to be challenged.

This woman is very shrewd and calculated. She is no simple peasant immigrant. This was a well planned operation to fan the flames.

Absolutely.

She had no problem of "separation" when she sent her son on a publicity tour in Mexico.

It cannot. However, Police and Prosecutors are aware that from a PR standpoint, it doesn't looks good to send in a squad of officers and drag out a screaming woman from the front door of a church.

Why go through all that?

You back up a vehicle to the church door, and go in and throw her onto the vehicle, and simply drive away. No cameras, no screaming no nothing.

Apparently those in Chicago couldn't figure that out.
