Senator Vitter Introduces Legislation Ending Birthright Citizenship Due To Abuse Of 14th Amendment

[Steve_McGarrett]

This is definitely a good move. The 14th Amendment has long been misconstrued or misunderstood due to political correctness over the years. Illegals have taken advantage of this and recently the Chinese as you will read in the article. Good move Senator Vitter of Louisiana.

Vitter only exhibits hate and racism, along with his contempt for the Constitution and the rule of law – just as the OP does.

Vitter the shitter got out of his diaper long enough to write a bill, that won't pass?

The 14th Amendment is clear and exact, nothing is was 'misconstrued' or 'misunderstood':

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

 

[Coyote]

Why are Republicans constantly wasting taxpayer money coming up with crap legislation that will never pass?

 

[Luddly Neddite]

Vitter is a known criminal and yet still got voted back into office.

And he's known for really idiotic legislation.

Why won't the Repubs just do their frikken job?

The 14th Amendment was not intended for illegal aliens.

Do you really think that the intent of the 14th amendment was to open the door to birth tourism? It's pretty absurd to say that that was the intention. I support an amendment to close the anchor baby loophole.

Well better too late than never.

“ ‘Originalism’ as many politicians practice it today has little to do with what the Constitution really says,” writes University of Baltimore law professor Garrett Epps in The Atlantic.

The Constitution’s Citizenship Clause, for example, should be read exactly as it is written: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States."

Yet “Da Vinci Code originalists” such as Sens. Paul Vitter, Mike Lee, Rand Paul, and Jerry Moran, suggest secret meanings where there are none, selectively quoting from the legislatively history to reach the conclusion that the children of undocumented immigrants born in the United States are not U.S. Citizens, Epps explains.

During a recent panel discussion on birthright citizenship co-hosted by the American Constitution Society and the Center for American Progress, Epps elaborated on the clear constitutional and historical underpinnings of birthright citizenship.

During the original debate on the clause, he explained, some expressed concern about so-called “gypsies” becoming citizens, calling them, “those people who flout our laws.”

This was what Epps termed the “Lou Dobbs moment" in the debate, and the drafters, unequivocally rejecting these concerns, had the following response: “How someone who professes such high regard for humanity and civilization could object to making citizens of these innocent children is simply beyond us.”

Citizenship Clause ACS

Consequently attacks on the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment by many on the right are completely devoid of merit, motivated solely by an unwarranted fear of change and diversity, and a racist hostility toward Hispanics.

Well yes... and all persons who are born to US Citizens... or born to LEGAL IMMIGRANTS... in the jurisdiction of the United States ARE and SHOULD BE CITIZENS of the United States.

Of course, THE PROBLEM is not children born to citizens or LEGAL IMMIGRANTS and as a result legislation designed to address: THE PROBLEM, does not speak to children born to US Citizens or LEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

Which of course means that the proponents of Foreign Ideas Hostile to American Principle... will weep and gnash their tooth, in desperation to conflate that TRUTH, with the falsity that Americans are trying to make all children born in the US, FOREIGNERS!

ROFLMNAO!

You people are helpless.

The 14th Amendment was enacted during a heightened nativist period, and yet was still enacted.

It's about time. It has to be. Birth tourism has to end.
