Lindsey Graham to Introduce Bill Ending Birthright Citizenship ‘Magnet’ for Illegal Immigration
Breitbart ^ | 30 October 2018 | Sean Moran

Posted on 10/30/2018 11:41:29 AM PDT by BlackFemaleArmyColonel

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) announced on Tuesday that he plans to introduce legislation ending birthright citizenship for children born to illegal immigrants on American soil, citing it as a “magnet for illegal immigration.”

President Donald J. Trump announced on Tuesday that he plans to draft an executive order to end birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants born in America.

Trump told Axios’ Jonathan Swan: But now they’re saying I can do it with just an executive order. Now, how ridiculous–we are the only country in the world where a person comes in, has a baby, and the baby is essentially a citizen of the United States for 85 years with all of those benefits? It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous–and it has to end.

Sen. Graham cheered Trump’s move against birthright citizenship, citing it as a significant “magnet” for illegal immigration.

“Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship,” Graham said in a statement. “I’ve always supported comprehensive immigration reform – and at the same time – the elimination of birthright citizenship.”

Graham continued explaining that birthright citizenship is a foreign concept in most modern countries.

The South Carolina Republican said, “The United States is one of two developed countries in the world who grant citizenship based on location of birth. This policy is a magnet for illegal immigration, out of the mainstream of the developed world, and needs to come to an end.”

Eliminating birthright citizenship would prevent children born of illegal aliens would not receive citizenship status and would likely deter the practice of foreigners having “anchor babies” where immigrants plan to give birth to children on American soil to obtain citizenship for their children.

I wonder if Lindsey will be attending one of Trump’s Rally’s this week? He would get a standing ovation.

Never thought I would live to see the day.

Way past time for this legislation to have happened. Think of the millions of illegal scions we are supporting, often to the detriment of our own kids’ needs. Why do you think some schools (esp. here in NYC) are so crowded, kids have to sit on radiators til things get sorted and equalized? Most high schools in NYC are operating at double or more the capacity they were built for, making classrooms out of offices, even closets. And, let’s not forget the cost of bilingual textbooks, guidance counselors, teachers, printing school announcements in two languages, etc. It’s because your kids are competing with people who don’t even belong here, the cuckoos in your nest pushing out your kids from their rightful goodies.

Well it’s a medical miracle because they really don’t GROW after a certain age.

Maybe he had surgical replacement.

Trump paid for it

Or at least recommended it and Graham listened :)

Graham was calling US bigots in 2013 and 2014 because we would not embrace abandoning the rule of law with amnesty for illegal aliens and their employers.

He is still a Bush League Republican that should be replaced in 2020.

Its not just California. I know maternity nurses from NJ that have commented that there must be a billboard outside Newark Airport telling them to go to their respective hospitals. And yes, though from wealthy families, we often foot the bill of the delivery.

ROFL!!

FReepers are on a roll today as I have actually LOLed about five times so far :)

I made a resolution to not type LOL unless I actually did.

ROFL just means I laughed harder than usual. I didn’t actually roll on the floor :)

I haven’t rolled on the floor in many, many years :(

I hated this guy when obamatard was prezzy because he just let Klownie the Kenyan walk all over him for 8 years.

I guess even in old age, you grow a second spine.

“Finally, a president willing to take on this absurd policy of birthright citizenship. I’ve always supported comprehensive immigration reform – and at the same time – the elimination of birthright citizenship.”

Finally! Instead of trying to do some MASSIVE "comprehensive" reform all at once which is always doomed to fail, just fix the most egregious flaws in our immigration system.

This abuse is #1 on the "most stupid immigration policies" list.

Number 2 must be letting in anybody who sets foot on U.S. soil and screams "Asylum."

Number 3 must be catch and release.
