    Mediaite and Politico are running headlines for this segment claiming that Trump said the Fourteenth Amendment is unconstitutional, which is cute but unfair. What he's saying, in his own...folksy way, is that he thinks the Supremes will side with him in finding that birth right citizenship under the Constitution doesn't apply to children of illegals. What's newsy is him implying that that ruling should apply not just prospectively but retroactively ("I don't think they have American citizenship") meaning that many thousands of people - some now adults - who have lived all their lives in America would suddenly find themselves...

    First, it must be stated unequivocally, that the confusion surrounding the “birther” controversy is completely contrived. This issue is not complicated… at all. Natural-born citizens are quite simply, and forever and for all time: citizens born in America of parents who are both citizens. Was that difficult? Whether or not Barack Obama was born in Hawaii could not matter less. The unassailable fact is that his father was a Kenyan. If it’s the intention of birthers to have Obama impeached over this issue, arguing about his post-partem nexus doesn’t help their efforts. If fact, arguing about that aspect of this...
  • Virginia Bill Would Require Schools to Keep Tabs on Cost of Illegal Immigrant Students

    01/21/2011 12:45:31 PM PST · by Gopher Broke · 12 replies
    As Virginia moves to ban illegal immigrants from enrolling in colleges, one local lawmaker is proposing a bill at the state level that would require schools to report the tally of illegal immigrant students to the state secretary of education. Todd Gilbert, a member of the Virginia House of Delegates, said under his bill illegal immigrant students will retain the right to receive a public school education but that Virginia taxpayers have a right to know how much the country's "broken immigration system” is costing them.
  • Kevin Woster Live chat with U.S. House candidate Chris Nelson…How Insulting Could it Get?

    Woster a few days ago asked a question of Nelson as well as the other candidates running for the US House seat for SD on Obama’s qualifications which was picked up by the Washington ComPost as well as my conservative patriots at WorldNetDaily(WND). Nelson’s response was: [M]eeting the constitutional qualifications to be President is a very important issue. If President Obama isn’t constitutionally qualified, it would be the biggest scam ever perpetuated on the American people. MANY people contacted me as Secretary of State prior to and after the election asking how Obama could be on our ballot given this...
