More Thuglican Elitism

The 'conservative' assault on the constitution continues unabated. 'Birthright citizenship' is the target. Stratified, theocratic Saudi-esque society is the goal.

It was a luxury we could afford when the immigration rates were manageable. The ability to absorb and/or assimulate immigrants at the current rate is at question. You would be happy if American culture changed, but can you predict how it will change when there are so many new citizens? The govt is not protecting our borders. People are thinking about all sorts of proxy measures to reduce the flow.

If you're worried about illegal immigration, do something about illegal immigration.

The problem with attacking the 14th amendment is that it applies to ALL immigrants, legal and illegal.

Picture what kind of society we would have today without birthright citizenship for the past 150 years. Would the Irish and Germans still be looking for citizenship sponsors generations after immigrating? Would they be able to find any?

Sorry, but Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are not countries we should be emulating here.
