[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A 70 point immigration plan.  FFS. Laws about complex issues are complex. I mean-- Trumps haven't been. But in the real government they are. But only Trump would want to make sure he got credit for coming up with 70 points (not 68!!!!!). [/quote]

Complex laws on a complex issue?  What is complex about a neighbor allowing her daughter plus nieces etc to stay in her house for birthright citizenship ?  All flew over on tourist visas.  I see no complexity in this NOR persons who overstayed tourist or student visas.

How complex is the ACA act funding public health clinics when patients are listed in reports as no insurance, Medicaid, private insurance etc?  Then we look at the demographics.  It's only complex because people came here and won't leave.  [/quote]

You may think a single example that you [b]don't have all the facts[/b] about is simple to solve, and it may be.  But a federal immigration policy that covers all the examples in the US, and balances the needs of US citizens, businesses, government entities and 50 different states with different populations, different politics and different needs is, in fact complex.  And this is before you factor in lobbyists, the 4 yeR backlog of the immigration courts, and the millions of people already here that would just add to that backlog.

The situation with your neighbor may be easy. Call ICE and let them decide. But the situation in this country is complicated, and any solution will be complicated.  And require everyone to compromise. [/quote]

The fact was my neighbor had several children/teens young adults that were my friends.  The sister [married -non citizen ] came over on a tourist visa for each of the 3 births.  Then flew back with children.  Each time there were more kids on the return trip.  Happened with my peers cousins as well.  This was decades ago.

Yes that is simple to solve.  Only children of 1 or more US citizens get citizenship.  And for edification it was the 14th NOT 15th Amendment. The 14th amendment made federal citizenship a priority over state citizenship since after the Civil War AA's were blocked as citizens on the state level.   http://www.heritage.org/the-constitution/report/birthright-citizenship-and-the-constitution

Until now the USA has not had the need to further define a rather vague stretch of our constitution.  Language on allegiance was done for Native Americans.  Not random others who hop a plane or walk on in.[/quote]
