The bill to be heard Monday by the Senate judiciary committee seeks a court interpretation on an element of the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to people born in the U.S. who are "subject to the jurisdiction" of this country.

I think this new bill raises a good question. What part of 'subject to the jurisdiction of', do you not understand. Illegals are NOT subject to our jurisdiction. In fact they should be sent back to the jurisdiction that they came from and the sooner the better!

It's not "an element" of the 14th Amendment, it's the first sentence: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.The only people not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" are people with diplomatic immunity. What do you think jurisdiction means? It means subject to law - are you saying that people in the United States (regardless of immigration status) should not be subject to its laws? In other words, if an illegal alien kills someone, all we can do is deport him?

Little Stormer is part of the insanity squad of after-birthers. So this AZ alien law makes them go bonkers.
