"...In a matter of weeks, Congress will go from trying to help young, illegal immigrants become legal to debating whether children born to parents who are in the country illegally should continue to enjoy automatic U.S. citizenship.

Such a hardened approach -- and the rhetoric certain to accompany it -- should resonate with the GOP faithful who helped swing the House in Republicans' favor..."

times are bad, so bash minorities, especially immigrants (LEGAL OR ILLEGAL)
 
Congress has no power on its own to change citizenship by birth. It is a right bestowed by the Constitution and the Constitution would have to be amended to change that.

"Many Republicans are now openly talking about legislation to either specify who is covered by the 14th Amendment, or to launch a new constitutional amendment to modify the 14th. At issue is the subject of ‘anchor babies’ and how the 14th Amendment should clarify their citizenship status..."

I checked out the first link http://charlestonteaparty.org/?tag=anchor-babies

Part 2. 1:20 - 2:00 minutes. Mr. Eastman compares the arguments supporting illegal alien citizenship to the arguments used to support slavery. Then he continues saying the Democrats, being a social welfare party, obtain power from citizens who depend on government entitlements, a sub-class of citizens.

The man has twisted everything around. First, illegal aliens do not benefit from social welfare policies. They are not entitled to social benefits. Second, the Democrats want illegal aliens, that sub-class, to become full fledged citizens. If the Democrats were benefiting from illegal aliens they would not want policies changed. They would want illegal aliens to stay illegal aliens.

Mr. Eastman's hypocritical, disingenuous concern regarding illegal aliens is sickening. He further comments the Republican Party top business people want illegal aliens for their cheap labor. If the illegals had citizenship they wouldn't be cheap labor.

The man is bogus!

August 11, 2009—Figures from the Department of Public Social Services show that children of illegal aliens in Los Angeles County collected nearly $22 million in welfare and over $26 million in food stamps in June, announced Los Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich. Projected over a 12 month period – this would exceed $575 million dollars.

Annually the cost of illegal immigration to Los Angeles County taxpayers exceeds over $1 billion dollars, which includes $350 million for public safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $500 million in welfare and food stamps allocations. Twenty-four percent of the County’s total allotment of welfare and food stamp benefits goes directly to the children of illegal aliens born in the United States.

“Illegal immigration continues to have a catastrophic impact on Los Angeles County taxpayers,” said Antonovich. “The total cost for illegal immigrants to County taxpayers exceeds $1 billion a year – not including the millions of dollars for education.”

now I know what you're going to say next....those are citizens even if they are the children of illegal aliens....but, you do recall this thread is about anchor babies, right?.....this IS the issue of the thread....

and

perhaps, if they can figure out a way to get the vote for illegal aliens....otherwise, they need to make them citizens...

My point was the crap Mr. Eastman was spouting about his supposed concern for illegal aliens. The guy is 100% hypocrite comparing them to slaves.

I don't care....my response was to your statement that illegal aliens don't get welfare......that statement was either made in ignorance or dishonesty....I simply corrected your statement with fact.....

And I'm asking how do they receive welfare without proper identification?

If it is a big problem it is easily solved. If legitimate US citizens are kicked off welfare how do illegal aliens qualify?
