You forgot something as to who said it.


"AOL News spoke to Jane Spinak, a law professor and the co-founder of the Child Advocacy Clinic at Columbia University, to learn about what may be in store for the children of the accused agents.

...

What's the legal status of the children?

If the children were born here, then they are citizens. If they are citizens, then they can't be deported. Either they are foreign nationals and so they don't have a right to be here, or they were born here and so they're citizens and they have a right to stay, regardless of what happens to their parents."

Not true Spinak.

Regardless, it was not MY OPINION. Got it?

I merely read or heard something and repeated it. I’ll let you “experts” expound in it now.

Opinion: "You are an a--"

Thank you for living up to my expectation and searching by the way, but the analysis is laughably amateur. We routinely see better on FR both pro and con.

AOL ain't what it used to be, and it never was much.

That's all well and good. But there's nothing to distinguish the spies' kids from those of any other class of illegal, and the same rules apply to all.

There are two types of spie: the ones who are attached to an embassy and are accredited diplomats and the ones who are simply in-country, masquerading as something they are not.

The first category are diplomats not subject to the jurisdiction of the host country. If they get caught, diplomatic immunity means the worst punishment is they get sent home. They don't even have to pay their parking tickets. (And their kids, if any, are furriners, as would be expected.)

However, the second category are subject to the jurisdiction. If they get caught, the Justice Department can land on them like a ton of bricks, and they are screwed blue and royally tatooed, unless an exchange or such can be negotiated. (But their kids, if any, are eligible to become president, such is 14th Amendment law.)

Once again, I have not given my opinion on whether the children are citizens.

I entered into this thread merely repeated what I heard or read and you come out ready to paint me as a heretic.

Are you drinking or drunk? You are not using normal judgment.

Ms. Spinak is apparently unaware that some of these Russian spy parents were naturalized, stripped of their citizenship and deported to their nation of origin rather than tried in a court of law.

Well, we have someone here on this thread that is going hog wild that I am somehow “guilty” because I posted what I read or heard. And smearing me in the process.

The opinion for which I thanked you was your calling me “an a—,” BunnySlippers. Isn’t that fairly clear?

Now, you have a good night, you hear?

Your hysterics are no more effective in opposition here than they are in support on Apple threads, BunnySlippers. I say that as someone who is on the same side on those Apple threads.

Maybe you should reconsider your approach.

You are are an a— for attacking me for merely saying I heard something. I was not giving you my opinion.

Regardless, you are a rude and ignorant person who cannot parse a sentence!

Hohoho! So this has to do with Apple!

Hahahahah!

You are THAT angry with Apple! LOLOOLOOL.

Again, are you drinking or drunk?

I’ve carefully thanked you for your every, ever-so-kind comment directed my way, BunnySlippers.

My ability to parse a sentence is better than yours, apparently.

But really, you should try to avoid the hysterics, it does nothing but disrupt the thread, whether you’re in support, opposition or merely driveby posting.

You might want to read that reply again, BunnySlippers. I suggest you do.

I NEVER took a stand on this issue. Never. And you are over the top!

You are looking for a confrontation.

And you are obsessed about the Apple threads. Get some sleep, please!

We are unfortunately on the same side on those threads, BunnySlippers.

Do you understand this yet?

I have. Why would you drag Apple in ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM into this issue? Shouldn’t you be going to bed now?

You intended to driveby post leaving a vague, unsourced “saw it somewhere, maybe heard it” saying that the issue had been “decided.”

It hasn’t.

Now, you go take whatever it is you clearly need to take, and I’ll call it a night, OK?
