Which is why no one is advocating for 'amnesty,' not the president, not anyone in Congress.The anti-immigrant nativists of the far right are trying to hide, and Boehner is not buying it. Come on, guys, unfriend Boehner on FB and be done with it.
You just continue to lie, don't you? Who is anti-"immigrant"? It is illegal aliens that the objection is about. Nativism has nothing to do with that.
not if you think someone born here should be denied citizenship
It's about complying with immigration laws that treat all immigrants equally. Granting amnesty treats one group of immigrants differently than those who go through the long process of actually OBEYING the law. Laws need to be applied to ALL who seek citizenship, not giving special "exception" to any one group over another.
Indeed, 14th Amendment jurisprudence has nothing to do with the issue of illegal immigration per se, because those born here are American citizens, regardless the status of their parents.
It's perfectly appropriate to address the issue of illegal immigration, it is not appropriate to seek punitive measures against citizens of the United States in violation of the Constitution.
That those hostile to Hispanics entering the country absent authorization perceive 14th Amendment jurisprudence as an 'incentive' to continued illegal immigration is not justification to indeed violate the 14th Amendment, or advocate for its repeal.
Do you Support a Constitutional Amendment to Forbid Birthright Citizenship to Children of Illegals?
The party was elected to govern not obstruct.
Look up the word amnesty, because it is clear you don't understand the definition.
Your definition of the 14th does not matter.
The legislation is good legislation, no one is going to mass deport the illegals, and no one will split up families.
They are here to stay and if we don't want to give the Dems the swing vote, we will learn to abide these facts.

Only to a small portion of our population is forced deportation a desired goal.
That small portion is the fascist far right, that thinks it is subverting and undermining and taking over the GOP.
You are getting a wake up call this term, and it will be reinforced in the 2016 elections. Either the GOP mainstream will elect sensible legislators and a president, or the Dems will take over the entire system.
The extremists in the Dems can take over the country with the Latino vote, or we can reach to that vote, ignore you folks, and have a balanced, good country.
Our leaders interpret the law, and if they disagree with you, tough.
Which is exactly what a more conservative ( anti-Anchor-Babies ) RE-interpretation by SCOTUS of the 14th would do...What needs to be done is to hold to the original intent of that clause and it NEVER was intended to grant citizenship to anyone who, as a sole result of a criminal, act was born here. That concept was misinterpreted years later.
Then tell the Congress to get a law passed.
As long as it fails, the president has EO power. That's the way it works.
A "forward ruling" law,if passed, might survive a SCOTUS review.
Such a ruling would make sure the growing Latino population kept the nativist ilk in check.

And the Hispanics gave more votes to the GOP along with women.
Jeopardize that, and you will GIVE the country to the left.

What nativism is their towards Latinos? Are you not aware that they hold the highest quotas for legal immigration into our country and that doesn't even count the numerous family reunifications that they have here? What happened to diversity? I don't care who an illegal alien is they shouldn't be granted amnesty nor a stay of deportation. That isn't what our immigration laws state.
