From rumors I have heard, my FIL was an anchor baby. He was born here, his family had to leave again but then used his birth status to come back and settle down.
He became an engineer and something he invented forty years ago has spawned a worldwide, ubiquitous, multi-billion dollar industry that employs hundreds of thousands of people directly, and probably millions indirectly, worldwide. Almost every adult in this country owns at least one of the gizmos he invented. That is all, ladies and gentlemen. |
So? |
deport him and take his money |
So.... all of that economic innovation happened in America because he was a citizen. |
Under the new law he wouldn't have been a citizen to begin with and couldn't exploit the sytems by molesting his citizenship status to get back in the country. |
Lol, how does someone "molest" his/her own citizenship status?
Under current law, he would be a citizen because he was born here. |
This is an interpretation of the 14th amendment only. The supreme court has never ruled that this amendment is applicable to the children of illegal aliens. The framers of the 14th clearly stated that it should not apply to illegal alien children--that's why they included language about the person being under a "foreign power." Let the court make a ruling and if they refuse to follow common sense and rule of law then we need a national vote. |
As immigrants, my family and I "fought" for our rights to become American citizens. The 1st thing my father did, after getting a job, was take night classes in English. Then he studied in order to pass the citizenship test as did my mother. Only then was I able to become a citizen also. How dare our government reinterpret the law to include illegals! I'm tired of needing to explain that I want help in English, not Spanish. I live in the USA and expect English spoken by all before being allowed to become a citizen. Pregnant women come here illegally in order to have medical benefits for their babies. Education is supposedly a right to all, overcrowding our classrooms, regardless of how they arrived in this country. When you fight for a right, you are apt to hold it more dear to your heart, as do I. Nothing was handed to me or to my family and I refuse to cater to, or hand over American rights, to people who break the law the minute they step foot on American soil. No paying of taxes, no benefits pure and simple. |
Is this what bored birthers obsess about now that Obama produced his birth certificate? Nice try at faux legal scholarship there. |
has nothing to do w/ that. We are talking about the 14th amendment not obama. Everything is not related to obama take your mouth off his dick. |
14:55 congratulations. |
What's your point, OP? You do know that if your FIL had made his invention outside of the US, we'd probably still have the capability to buy it/use it, etc, right? |
And we'd be paying a foreign company for it. |
I have a family member (fact not rumored) who came to this country illegally, was a deadbeat, sponged off my cousin, got my MIL in major debt, and punched out an INS officer. He won't be coming back in the US LEGALLY. |
Oh so thinking you are crazy means that I love Obama, huh? Sorry Charlie Your mental illness is the one thing you can't blame on him. You are nuts either way. |
