I got an idea- lets just build a big glass dome over the US

You are not making sense. You are not going to deport 11-13 million people and you know it. The best we can do is make it uncomfortable for employers to hire people who are not Citizens, then give legal status to those who have been here a certain amount of time, are working and have not been convicted of any felonies. All the other rhetoric is just pap that your Republican politicians spoon feed you so that you will get all patriotic and stuff and line their pockets with more donations
So I guess because so far a terrorist attack hasn't occurred by the perpetrator coming thru Mexico that means it will never happen? Since there have already been at least 12 million illegal aliens that have managed to breach our southern border it's a non-issue? The FBI Director has already stated that there have been people from known terrorist countries that have sneaked right along in with the Mexicans and disappeared into our country. We don't have millions of illegals coming thru our Canadian border, duh. But we should be protecting it also.

Oh my God, I don't believe I have to repeat this yet again. No one is advocating to deport millions of illegal aliens. The solution is to make them self-deport by removing all of the incentives to remain here. WTH should we give legal status to illegal aliens instead? We have 23 millions Americans out of work many whom have lost their blue-collared jobs such as construction and landscaping to them. They are already committing felonies by working here. They should get a pass on that? Would an American get a pass on a felony? I don't think so!

Yeah, and the Democrats are lining their pockets with votes from an ethnocentric group that thinks they are above our immigration laws. So I wouldn't talk about the Republicans if I were you. I don't need them or anyone else to tell me right from wrong or to make me patriotic. I know right from wrong and love my country all on my own. Where's your patriotism for the American people and your sense of right from wrong?

Democrats lining their pockets with votes and Republicans lining their pockets with money from businesses who profit from hiring undocumented people - I don't see much difference, but whatever. I offered my opinion and I'm not going to waste my time bickering with you

No, the Democrats are also lining their pockets with money from businesses who hire "illegal aliens". No such thing as an undocumented people. Of course you don't want to debate with me because you are obviously are an illegal alien sympathizer and refuse to accept the facts of my posts. You don't care about the American workers/taxpayers.

They are undocumented, that you choose to call them illegal is your own choice but that does not make it any more appropriate than undocumented, and those 'anchor babies' are citizens so go tell your congressman you want that law changed or quit griping about it.

The immigration law term for them is "illegal aliens" not undocumented. So no, it's not a made up choice of mine. Undocumented is just a made up PC term to call attention away from their unlawful presence here. They have plenty of documents all fake or stolen so they aren't undocumented.

My congressmen are already addressing the anchor baby fiasco and I can and will gripe about it until the right thing is done by denying kids of illegal aliens our birthright. The 14th Amendment never intended it. It has merely been a PC practice not based on our Constitution.

Well that's just a shame isn't it, the 14th amendment never intended it, but Republican politicians realize the only way to change it is by revising the 14th amendment; so I guess even in their mind, not to mention countless court challenges it is actually constitutional

New Attacks on Birthright Citizenship:

Um no, they aren't trying to revise the 14th Amendment. Apparently you didn't read your own article where the word use was "reassess" not revise. It doesn't need revising. All it needs is for the SC to re-address it and re-clarify it. But even if it did need revising Amendments have bee re-vised since their existence. It is isn't unconstitutional to do so.

Nice little leftist article though that typically calls conservatives anti-immigration among other BS. What a bald faced lie.

you said that 'anchor babies' is not what was intended by the 14th amendment, I was waiting for you to show me wrong...but it doesn't appear that you can
