Illegal immigrants have just been shown the door. A federal court judge has erred on the side of reason, deciding that the children of illegal immigrants are not entitled to US citizenship. This must be disappointing for illegals looking to suckle on American rights and entitlements without the hassle of actually becoming Americans or troubling to pay taxes like the rest of us.

14th Amendment: “…All persons born of naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United State and also of the state wherein they reside.” This amendment added to the Constitution after the Civil War was designed to make citizens of former slaves. It has been stretched to create birthright citizenship for anyone born here. However, Senator Jacob Howard, the author of 14th Amendment, said in Senate debate, “This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will NOT, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens…” So….. The answer is clearly….NO!!!
I agree no add ons let legal channels be obtained like everyone I know has done
You need a government willing to expel illegal aliens….which we do not have.
Does this mean Cruz is not a citizen of the USA?

Our Knuckleheads in Congress should see that a little gets past that says exactly that
Common sense! No more anchor baby citizens
Hmmm, baby and parents aren’t citizens! Why are we giving them healthcare, food stamps, welfare? Obama just gave Iran 400 million $, we don’t have a poverty or homeless problem!
TY Fed Court!! They surely are not!
Anchor babies are not citizens! They are born abroad from their originating country.
