Re: Proposal to Change the 14th amendment on "anchor babies"
The 14th Amendment doesn't cover anchor babies. Stupid judges misinterpreted the meaning.

If a person is here illegally then their allegiance and citizenship is still with the country where they came from, hence their babies also are subjects to that country. Read the wording and it becomes clear.

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.

Because they are not subject to the jurisdiction, as in being citizen or here legally, their babies are not citizens of United States.

Re: Proposal to Change the 14th amendment on "anchor babies"
A few decades ago, people just came to the U.S. from Europe without any identification, even. A lot of them were criminals fleeing prosecution. The U.S. just screened them for whatever diseases they might have and recorded whatever name the immigrant said their name was.

Now the descendants of those people are not only venting their anger at "illegal aliens" who are capable people who come here to work, but they are also trying to change the constitution so that even people born on U.S. soil are aliens.

What a crock of shit.

Yet another problem. They don't get screened for health problems. They just show up in a hospital, potentially endangering american citizens.

They are subject to US jurisdiction when they are in USA. If an illegal immigrant commits a crime in USA, they are tried under US law, not the law of the country they came from.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1144318

Immigrants gave their loyalty and allegiance to the US and made it what it is today. They didn't send their earnings to their homeland or continue pledging allegiance to their homeland flag. There's a difference. They also raised their children to pledge their loyalty to America and learn ENGLISH!

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1144551

You are misinterpreting the phrase also. Subject to the jurisdiction is to be interpreted as a person belonging to a nation. (subject = citizen) Every person in any country is subject to the laws of that country, that doesn't equate to them having citizenship just because they are subject to their laws.

There are millions of American citizens right here at home, who for a variety of reasons,are not screenend for health problems.When these people become so sick as to have to ''show up at a hospital''they to, pose a risk to their fellow citizens.The issue you are concernend about is actually one common to all of humanity,and is hardly a valid argument against ''illegal''or legal immigration.

Get rid of the 14th amendment and the UN. Get rid of NAFTA, and all other trade agreements. Stop bilingual support in stores, dmv, etc... Regain the culture that once was the united States of America. Also get rid of democracy and move back to a Republic and I'll bet you this country returns to its once former glory. The immigration issue wont be an issue as there will be plenty of jobs. The US can self sustain on almost everything, few imports are really needed.

Yes get rid of NAFTA and all the other illegal trade agreements that we the people never approved.

Let's regain the parts of our culture that did not include raceism,slavery,genocide and the persecution of the poor.

''Government for and by the people''well, that is democracy !

Yes the US can ''sustain'' it's self on it's own resources and labor,but you have to realize that capitalism is not about sustainance,it is about continously expanding profits,growth and the endless extraction of all available rescources.We live in a capitalist scociety,and our practice of capitalism brought about globalism ,which in turn brought about NAFTA and increased illegal and legal immigration from third world and developing countries.I hope you are starting to see the problem here ?

A democracy is a government by the majority not by the people. A republic means everyone has to agree. The fact is, the majority has screwed us over and over again because they do not know what they do. They are just plain ignorant due to our education system making them that way and their own laziness.
We move to a basic tenant of the common law system based on the premise do unto others what you would have them do to you. So you steal, then let the people steal back. You kill, let the people kill you. So on and so forth. Then again to have such a system you need real justice, not CORPORATE MARITIME JUSTICE. Outlaw the Babylonian system of commerce, outlaw borrowing on interest (it's a sin for a reason), and prevent debt based slavery!
Yes Capitalism driven by sheer profits and always expanding is a problem. You can put healthy limits on it though to prevent such things.

Whether we have a republic or direct democracy,if the rights of minorities are not respected and protected,we all loose,because all of us will find ourselves part of a minority at one time or another.

The so called ''Golden rule'' you are refering to has a fallacy.We should not suppose that other people want to be treated the same way we do !
While our laws may at times need to be based on real economic needs and material realities,those laws should not be desighnend to support nothing more than the pursuit of undue and uneeded profits and power.
It has been said that capitalism is the only viable socioeconomic system possible ,partialy because of the claim that ''there are no free lunches in life.'' The truth of the matter however, is that life IS A FREE LUNCH ! It is from this truth that we should procede to fashion just laws and a socioeconomic system that works to support life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
