Immigration would not mean a clash of cultures if it were kept legal and in moderation as it used to be until Ted Kennedy stuck his nose in it. We also have to do away with the family chain laws that encourages mass immigration from only a few countries. And there has to be an end to the anchor baby scam, the 14th Amendment was never meant to apply to illegal aliens and the good news is that someone is finally stepping up to the plate to have the abuse challenged in court:

Legislator plans new reforms

Terrill, R-Moore, said he wants to crack down on so-called anchor babies, children whose mothers come to the United States to give birth. The U.S. Constitution states children born in this country are U.S. citizens.

His idea to deal with babies born to illegal immigrants would be for Oklahoma to refuse to issue a birth certificate, he said. Instead, the state would send an acknowledgement of birth to the U.S. embassy or consulate of the parents' nation of origin requesting a birth certificate.

"That would set up the legal challenge because you would have unlawfully present, foreign national parents who would be suing the state of Oklahoma to try to get a birth certificate for a child who they would be claiming is a U.S. citizen,” he said.

Hallelujia! This is exactly what needs to be done. I appreciate that Duncan Hunter has put forth anchor baby legislation in the House, but it never gets anywhere. We need some legal precidents set in the states, so that national legislation can even be considered. I hope Oklahoma voters get behind this and support it. I wish more states would get on the band wagon, too.

Terrific idea at #18! For sure, this is worth exploring in detail.

Gracias para el pingo.

The immediate effect will be for illegal aliens to leave Okalahoma since this ruins their anchor baby scam. Why drop a baby in OK if it is going to be a hassle? So Oklahoma loses illegals and other states or Mexico get them.
