Answer 1

I think automatic birthright citizenship has been abolished by every EU country for good reason. In countries that subsidize the poor, it is used to game the immigration laws for the parents and for benefits for the whole family.

I agree that it should be changed, but first the Supreme Court should clarify it, since I don't think the issue has ever really been briefed there. I don't see how those who sneak in are 'subject to jurisdiction of our laws' since they came here in controvention of them.

However, even if the Supreme Court agrees with my obviously correct interpretation, I am pretty certain it would be one of those rulings where they use their power to declare it in force going forward, only.

Answer 2

I am all for it! H.R. 1940:

To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.

About This Legislation:
4/19/2007--Introduced.
Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007 - Amends the Immigration and Nationality Act to consider a person born in the United States "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States for citizenship at birth purposes if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is: (1) a U.S. citizen or national; (2) a lawful permanent resident alien whose residence is in the United States; or (3) an alien performing active service in the armed forces

Answer 3

Absolutely not. The US government need to check themselves.

The US government, pathetic US citizens and illegal immigrants are grossly milking the system at the taxpayers expense. Have you noticed the numerous homeowner foreclosures? Have you noticed how the government changed the laws of eminent domain? Have you noticed how many US citizens are homeless due to a lack of feasible employment. Have you noticed how the government is allowing its cousin, corporate america to downsize for personal gain (includes eminent domain)? Have you noticed the Right to Bear Arms to protect self & property is null & void. If, you have an uninvited person who enters your home by force and you shoot them. You may be subject to a lawsuit filed by the suspect (turned victim) for injuring them or by the family (if you kill that individual).

The primary focus is for US citizens to demand the Constitution be squashed and rewritten where the citizens fully understand and vote for particular amendment or no towards a very biased amendment. (This is a good controversial question).

Answer 4

What does the right to bear amrs have to do with being an American citizen by birth? I get it - If I am an American citizen I can buy and bear arms with which to defend this country from the invasion of illegals!! Deporting 52,000 illegals from Arizona is a good place to start.

Answer 5

The 14th amendment must be repealed...the Democrats, LULAC & the ACLU clearly want to interpret it in their own way...which is contrary to all of the notes found when the 14th was first being considered! I write Congress several times a week & always include something about repealing the 14th....to try to save my country for my grandchildren.

If you don't want BIG push to repeal the 2nd amendment then don't vote for a Democrat! They have been trying for years to get our guns!

FYI-75% of all newborns at John Peter Smith hospital (DFW) were illegals with their hands out yelling you owe me....

Answer 6

The right to bear arms does not need to be amended. No amendment needs fixing. The simple solution to illegal aliens is to quit supporting them. No welfare, no health care, no schooling, no housing, no jobs. It is that simple. They have to be given incentive to become a citizen legally. They can have access to these programs after they become legal, not before.

Answer 7

To many want to interpret the law and bend it to what they want. Any new law or amendment should be put before the people not left in the hands of a few. Guns I don't believe either party, one wants to take them away and the other wants machine guns. Enforce the laws on the book now.

Answer 8

We don't need any new laws. We don't need to amend anything either. We need to actively enforce existing laws.

As for the 2nd Amendment: "shall not be infringed" is not debatable. It is actually very clearly stated.

If the constitution and all of its amendments were actually read by people such as the ACLU, most of the legal perversion would be gone.

Answer 9

I would like to see that the illegals on welfare are not allowed to be here in the first place and then we can stat changing things

Answer 10

I definitely would. But if they take our guns, we're no longer a free society, dictatorships would take over. Never let that happen. But allowing citizenship to a child of illegals is absolutey ridiculous!
