RE :”....and warned against a proposal favored by some Republicans to amend the U.S. Constitution to deny birthright citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.

That cynical proposal was made by none other than Sen Grahamnesty on a Sunday news show intended to kill the whole idea.

The US constitution doesn't make children of illegals US citizens, the government does that. We DONT give US citizenship to children of diplomats and we don't have to give it to illegals.

Grahamnesty threw out that constitutional amendment idea that he knew had NO chance of success so he could whip up the liberal pro-amnesty forces with it. He is one politician I despise. He really is on the other side.

Another motive might be that he wants to appear more "conservative" to those who don't think deeply about the matter. Unfortunately, he keeps getting reelected.
