You realize that previous SCOTUS decision become part of the law in our legal system, yes?
I don't think you're going to get SCOTUS to rule on illegal immigrants specifically, but I could be wrong.
Besides the OP didn't say "end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants", it said "end birthright citizenship", full stop.
It's plain to most everyone that since this is about a border wall and e-verify which only about illegal aliens that he was talking about removing birthright citizenship for the same, not legal immigrants, duh.
Have you ever been to Mardi Gras? When WOULDN'T and adult choose to act like a five year old? No school, no responsibilities, no burdens of work, bills or reality. Certainly no concerns about the doddering sentient corn snack at 1600 Pennsylvania.
You're comparing apples to oranges and you know it. Stop playing games. This is about attacking people personally instead of debating like an adult.
There has never been a case where the SCOTUS ruled on the birthright citizenship of babies born from illegal aliens. It's merely been by PC policy that has deemed them so. The Constitution and wording of the 14th Amendment has been misinterpreted for far too long now. This needs to be brought before the SCOTUS to rule on once and for all on this issue based on the actual wording and intent of the writers of the 14th Amendment and that would end birthright citizenship for children born from illegal alien parents once and for all. No new Amendment is necessary.
Can I do my conservative whataboutism now? He's the one who's calling elected officials Pocahontas, and his peers Little Marco, etc. etc. Can I point out the threads where it's Obummer, or Barry, or whatever for he last eight years for Obama? We won't even start on Hillary. Good for the goose, good for the gander.
So, it NOT OK for others to do t but, IS OK for YOU to do it. Got it!
E-Verify can be done by states like Texas and Florida tomorrow and the result would be many times that of any wall. So this is very real.
Constitutional Amendments are difficult and rare - so these questions become conceptual only....
Let me say it this way. This "liberal" would support 10 billion a year in additional border security (of all types) if Texas and Florida both implemented E-Verify and put serious enforcement penalties and resources toward it.
But it won't happen - because it's too easy. The ONLY reason for all this border and wall talk is to rile up and instill fear in a certain type of American. If that wasn't the case, then TX, FL, GA (together they represent about two MILLION illegals) would do this tomorrow. But they won't.
Think about it. Imagine two million with the stroke of a pen. Then compare that with virtually zero with small sections of steel slat that will likely never be built out.
Which would a logical and efficient person choose?
As far as birthright citizenship, we might be able to tweak around the edges. We'd have to get the Congress working on it and perhaps present a test case or two to the SCOTUS.
Russians will be VERY unhappy about this, but they probably have enough spies and oligarchs already populating (they are dropping babies by the thousands in "birth tourism" in Florida) that they will be able to infiltrate quite well.
I agree with your position on E Verify but, "The ONLY reason for all this border and wall talk is to rile up and instill fear in a certain type of American." is YOUR opinion which I strongly DISAGREE with.
