Rand Paul Joins Rush to Deny Citizenship to Babies
And the Fourteenth Amendment be damned…
Paul recently suggested to a Russian TV station that the U.S. should abandon its policy of granting citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants — even if they’re born on U.S. soil…
“We’re the only country that I know that allows people to come in illegally, have a baby, and then that baby becomes a citizen. And I think that should stop also.”
Although Randy doesn’t apparently use the term, might as well start getting used to “anchor baby”, which Arizona’s Russell Pearce is using to pitch a sequel to the state’s new anti-immigrant law. Because “Born Free” only applies to lions, y’know.
Rand Paul Suggests Children Of Illegal Immigrants Should Not Be U.S. Citizens [TPM]
Why stop at repealing the 14th Amendment, Rand? Why not the 13th, 15th, and 19th as well?
Arizona would *love* this! By Rand’s logic, they could arrest and/or deport anybody who couldn’t prove the immigration status of every one of their ancestors…
Yes. Do you have your papers? Do you have your parents’ papers? No? In the fucking van, Jose. You’re going the fuck home.
They hate everything after the 2nd, really. It’s all gotta go.
@Original Andrew: And they’d probably only want to keep the parts of the 1st that allow them to assemble and to shoot off their mouths.
This guy makes me sick.
Come to think of it, should the children of American citizens automatically be granted citizenship? Maybe citizenship should only be granted to the children of real Americans–(wink, nudge) you know who I mean.
Born Free also represents the genocide of the gingers.
Am I the only actual immigrant here?
@Benedick: Everyone’s an immigrant as far as Jamie and I are concerned.
@redmanlaw: Word.
/get off my continent
@cubbie:
How you tease me! I’m almost a ginger, and my first serious bf–the infamous Turn Signal Dick, who taught me everything I wanted to know about the secks butt was afraid to ask at the tender age of 19–was 100% ginger.
Even now, years later, I can’t glance at a redhead without wanting to score a righteous touchdown in the Bone Zone.
@Benedick: Ma Nabisco is not only an immigrant, she’s a former commie. I know, I know, that doesn’t carry a whole lot of weight any more, but get this:
/she’s a mooslem, as well/
PS: hey folques! Miss anything?
@Original Andrew: I have a mess of ginger cousins, but happily I avoided the Curse.
@Original Andrew: Think I’ll listen to some Garbage and watch some X-Files this weekend.
Maybe Rand will get rid of anchor baby Michelle Malkin if he comes to power. I’d pay to see that ….
