[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These people have been here a long time.  No new people are getting TPS, the have to have been here when the program was  open.

They have to apply and pay to stay every 18 months and they can’t have criminal records.  Many of them now have US citizen children.  Deporting the parent  of a US Citizens is bad policy.  Often time the family that stays ends up going on public assistance.  Most people understand all this.  Stephen Miller does not.  It’ bad for the families.  It’s bad for state welfare programs.  It’s bad for the community. But it makes some heartless non-thinking people think they are “winning”somehow.[/quote]

The Salvadorans came here in 2001 on protected status.  Temporary.  How many Presidential terms later is it still the same situation?  Now the 5th and the 3rd president?

Why call it temporary?  If a diplomat is here or some such special visa their children DO NOT get to be US citizens so why did children of these temporary US residents?

Children of diplomats are in fact eligible for green cards. [/quote]

Children of diplomats [here temporarily] do not get birthright citizenship and neither should other children born in the US to those here on a temporary basis or born to non-citizens. [/quote]

So do the work and change the Constitution if you are so anti-Constitution.  Surely with your powerful arguments, 2/3 of state legislatures will agree with you.  Otherwise, stop your whining.[/quote]

Whining?  This is my country.  I have no other as do these illegal immigrants who were given TPS.   Nor am I a DACA recipient.   The fact is birthright citizenship was not intended for masses of illegal immigrants' children NOR those born here to a parent o a tourist visa.

And no I am not an immigrant.  Did I see people here for 15 plus years speaking Spanish on TV today?  Yes.

Part of my family was here during the Civil War - fought for the Union at great personal cost.   Which side they supported meant more since they were border state people.   There is a clause in the 14th Amendment  that says, "And subject to the jurisdiction thereof."    The 1866 Act provides: “All persons born in the United States, and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States.”

The US has always had an ebb and flow in TX and CA with Mexico but nothing on the scope we have today with numerous countries.  Also there was not birther tourism.  One family I knew had at least 8 births in the USA from a daughter and cousins here on tourist visas.

Fought for the Union in a border state? You mean they were poor? Probably just off the boat from Cork? And the other side?[/quote]
