The first part of the Constitution although very important is a little boring. I would like to jump ahead about 92 years to the 14th Ammendment.
Section 1. 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
This ammendment was placed into the Constitution right after the Civil War to ensure that the children of former slaves had the citizenship that they deserved. Without the 14th Ammendment one could argue that because a child's mother and father were born in Africa they are not U.S. citizens. This Ammendment is now being taken advantage of. A great idea to help correct the abhorrence of slavery is now being manipulated so that ILLEGAL immigrants can have a child while committing their crime and instead of having a negative reprocussion they get a child who anchors them in the country, a gauranteed paycheck which is higher than they made in their country of origin, food stamps, and subsidised housing. Right now in Congress they are drafting legislation to narrow the 14th ammendment to only include children who have at least one parent who is a legal resident. This type of legislation have my full support.
I don't think that the framers thought about millions of ILLEGALS taking advantage of something
ReplyDeletethat was NOT intended for criminal.
I'm only commenting on the 1st part.
I believe we need to repeal that part to protect ourselves.
Interesting.....keep it coming brother...your allways a pleasure to read
ReplyDeleteWell even the proposed changes to this Amendment proposed by Congress, in my opinion, are NOT enough (look at Obama for reference). I really believe that both parents need to be a citizen because then it would take away any and all foreign influence. Then I would add to the changes that the child needs to stay inside the united States for the first ten years of their life. This would cause short term chaos I understand but I believe that in the long-term it would take care of all the problems that we are facing now. In this case I wish a grandfather clause could be considered unconstitutional
