Agreed. Legal aliens do have the rep of looking DOWN on illegal aliens.

No, because too many voters have very few generations between themselves and their nearest immigrant ancestor.

Only if you specifically define "birthright citizenship" strictly as "children born to illegal immigrants" do you get a response like that. But that's not the question here.

Were those ancestors here illegally? That's the kicker here. Anchor babies of course would want birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens because that's how they themselves achieved citizenship in our country. In other words a selfish vested interest.

Look the people who would benefit from this initiative vote for the Democrats. The Republicans aint going to get their support. Actually having Latino candidates would naturally help the Republicans but once people know what they're trying to do its bad.
They're here illegally!! They have no right to be here! What don't you understand about that? What do you democrats/democrat voters have against following the laws on the books? "Do they prevent fundamentally changing America"?

Why would he just mention Latinos anyway? They aren't the only ones here illegally giving birth on our soil. Immigrants would take to the streets? Why would they do that? This issue has nothing to do with them. It has to do with illegal aliens.

What should be done, the ones that want the illegals here should be required to take them in and take care of them....Watch how many of these amnesty supporters dry up. The democrats over played their hand in 2014, they still continue to do it as illegal immigrants are not wanted here by most of the country.

The democrats aren't stupid. The republicans are. The democrats are just responding to the demands of the growing Latino and Hispanic community. And that is why they will win 2016.

Gee, silly me thought that was how a representative democracy was supposed to work, people demand, politicians respond.

Undocumented Immigrants in the United States: Access to Prenatal Care and in KS, I am just tired of it since we have high taxes and very little else with a growing number of anchor baby making: Study: Illegal Immigrants Cost Kansas Taxpayers $442 million - Watchdog.org and $2 billion Medicaid program mostly helps illegal immigrants | The Wichita Eagle The Wichita Eagle

See, we relocated and looking around, I see this and that is when I started looking for the facts. "Illegal" is the operative for me but we also need to curb the industry that is bringing the wealthy in to make their babies US citizens.
