Illegal Immigration Foes Focus on 14th Amendment 'Citizenship Clause'

To modify the 14th adm. to make it clear that only legal citizens who have children in the U.S. will their children be considered a citzen is perfectly understandable to me. What I don't understand is why anyone would be against this modification if it clarified the law to stop anchor babies from cheating the suystem. I vote change the 14th amendment to clarify the law.

When they wrote that in the constitution, they should have been more clear and said that all children born in the United states by citizens are automatically citizens.

One more comment. We have the technology today to produce an un-forgable I.D. card. You may have heard of the "Real I.D." implementing this system would do away with forged documents and stolen social security numbers and identification. Mandate it federally and start prosecuting sanctuary cities.

Finally some common sense is being shown. Sen Graham has hit the nail on the head. I have worked in a border hospital and what he contends is true. It goes further however when you consider these illegals can earn more on U.S, food stamps W.I.C. and welfare than they can earn by working in their country, of course they are going to come. It' free candy to them. The claim that this move is racist is nonsense. We are talking about several millions of peoiple ******* our social safety net for asll it is worth. Sooner or later it has to have an impact...think cutting social security benefits, child health insurance for U.S.citizens, and the medical and social needs of our own citizens. The answer isn't more new taxes on those of us who do work, nor should it be the loss of one American job to any illegal because they'll work for cheaper than will an American. Does anyone truly believe that should we cull these illegals from our society more jobs wouldn't be made available to U.S. citizens? It is time to act and denying U.S. Citizenship to the offspring of those here illegally is an inspired start. God Bless Lindsey Graham.

Anyone catch the ICE agents vote against this administration and there ICE Bosses policy. It was 259-0 with every single agent against what they say is the focus on amnesty instead of depoertation.

Secure the border and this problem becomes moot....

ilegal means against the law, so follow the law,, send them all home together

It is only common sence, let us support the people that come into this country the legal way, period.
Make laws if there is a new born(no automatic citizenship) or medical situations that the bills are paid by the host country or the party's involved.
Business peaple who hire illegal should see the inside of the jail.
Identification at the poling boths.
Just try to pulling some of the above in other country's.
In second thought Ill take Mexico's more stricker laws.

Not only should "illegal immigrants" be prevented from drop and leave, but people on visitor's visas who schedule their children's births here (and often become hospital charity cases) should be prevented from having those children automatically become U.S. citizens.
A baby should have at least one parent who is a U.S. citizen or legal resident.

I agree with blazerofice if this passes its not going to stop. This country is built on immigration, the pilgrims didnt come in and ask the indians what the procedures were to be a part of their tribes or this land we call america, they just took it by force with violence, murder and plunder, history does repeate it self and it seems that there is a new wave of immigrants coming and taking over with violence, murder and plunder. No law, person, or wall can stop destiny.
