He's making this stuff up as he goes along.
Who cares that the US Constitution gives Congress the power to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization, if Cain says it’s a state’s rights issue, then it must be so.
After all, he is Cain, and he can say nothing wrong.
Oh, but he said we should let the states decide citizenship, and then he said not to do so if it violates federal law.
He clearly doesn’t know citizenship is a power of Congress, but I can hear now the special pleading of those following their own pizza a messiah.
Sure, and abortion is awful but go illegal if you just gotta. That’s Herman Cain. He can get away with anything until the general election rolls around.
Then they’re going to tie this crap around his neck and there will be no place to hide.
So, let’s do it Cain’s way, let’s have California let Chicoms and Islamo-fascists be citizens, and we’ll let Nevadans choose Uzbekistanis and Monacans. We Ohioans will favor Germans and the Scots-Irish, of course.
Oh, and surely SCOTUS will allow citizens not to be recognized by one state if that state just feels like it? I’m sure they will. /sarc.
This is such a truly remarkable idea, similar in it’s incomprehensibility with Cain’s stand on life.
