Unbelievable! On the 1st day of Congress, Latino Baby Hater Rep. Steve King introduces "Anchor Baby Bill" in Congress! Politico.com reports:
Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa) isn’t wasting any time with his immigration agenda, dropping a bill on the first day of Congress that goes after birthright citizenship. King’s measure would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act, ending automatic citizenship for anyone born in the country. Instead, the measure requires that only the children of citizens, legal immigrants permanently living in the country or immigrants in the military, be granted citizenship.
Republicans grabbed headlines last summer after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) criticized the longstanding law, saying it encourages pregnant women to come to the country to have children so they can eventually become citizens themselves. Though others have called for changing the 14th Amendment, King said that ending birthright citizenship through statute makes sense because it’s easier to do.
“We need to address anchor babies,” he told POLITICO Wednesday. “This isn’t what our founding fathers intended.” Immigration legislation isn’t high on the list of priorities for House GOP leaders. At least five other members – Reps. Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.), Gary Miller (R-Calif.), Rob Woodall (R-Ga.), Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.) and Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) – are co-sponsoring King’s measure.

About changing 14th Ammendment:
ReplyDeleteRep King has not defined HOW he would change the 14th amendment. What constitutes an "illeegal alien" birth?
1. Mother "illeegal?" (most extremists are targetting the mother. Isn't this discriminatory against women?)
2. Father "illeegal?" (what if mother is citizen, should the child be impacted? what if mother declines to name father if this law is changed?)
3. One parent's Papers in progess?
4. Visa overstays?
5. What about tourists who are pregnant and have a baby here. Won't this bill change ruin tourism?
6. Will the bill be retroactive? Citizen children today, "illeegals" tomorrow? We know that's King's intent. He doesn't want to give these children (especially Latino children) their birth certificates today.
7. If this bill is changed, will it be implemented on the Northern border equally? Father Canadian, mother American -- NO CITIZENSHIP FOR YOU!
There are so many unanswered questions that will surely racially profile Latinos, particularly in the southern states.
Is this "half pesos" anchored down "imbecile politicos" going to DEPORT OBAMA as White House "ANCHORED BABY BOOM BOOM"?
ReplyDeleteVIDEO : Idiot Russell Pearce says that Obama may be asked for papers if he visits Arizona - Clear Racist Joke - The poor humor of a perfect cretin.
ReplyDeleteGreat disrespect for the President of the USA.
This idiot Russell Pearce says that the President may not visit Arizona for fear of being asked papers. He is the president of the Arizona Senate.
Other poor idiots laugh at this bad and racist joke.
