Author of Arizona immigration law wants to end birthright citizenship

The author of Arizona's immigration law, state Sen. Russell Pearce, told constituents he wants to pass another measure to invalidate citizenship granted to the children of illegal aliens.

Pearce wrote that he plans to "push for an Arizona bill that would refuse to accept or issue a birth certificate that recognizes citizenship to those born to illegal aliens, unless one parent is a citizen," in an email obtained by Phoenix CBS affiliate KPHO.

Pearce also forwarded an email from another correspondent expanding on the proposal — which he later told KPHO he didn't agree with. "If we are going to have an effect on the anchor baby racket, we need to target the mother. Call it sexist, but that's the way nature made it. Men don't drop anchor babies, illegal alien mothers do," the email said.

Pearce did tell the CBS affiliate, however, that he didn't see anything wrong with using the term "anchor baby" to refer to natural-born U.S. citizens.

Last year, 92 Congressmen sponsored a bill that would change the 14th Amendment so that children of illegal aliens born in the United States would not be granted citizenship. The bill is still in committee.

Last month, Rep. Duncan Hunter of California told a tea party rally he would support deporting children of illegal aliens, even if they are citizens.

"And we're not being mean. We're just saying it takes more than walking across the border to become an American citizen," he said. "It's what's in our souls."

His spokesman later sought to clarify the remarks with the Associated Press, saying that Duncan believes that "U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants should stay with their parents unless there is a legal guardian who could take care of them."

YES! YES! YES! It's about f*#king time! Illegals come here for our jobs, and/or to leech off of our social programs. Anchor babies are one of their most commonly used methods of remaining here in the United States.

The Fourteenth Amendment was NEVER intended to help illegals. It was intended to help the children of LEGAL immigrants so they wouldn't be required to go through the naturalisation process. These wetbacks come here to have their babies on the taxpayer dollar, and since their baby was born here, then it's an American citizen. They are the parents, and they have a right to be with their children, and their children are American citizens, they have the right to stay in this country, right? WRONG! Ship their brown a*#es back to Mexico, and their children too.

It's about time we stopped the illegals from using the Fourteenth Amendment as a loophole to stay in this country. I say only the children of legal immigrants have a right to be citizens.

Now the libertards and their left-wing allies in D.C. are really getting worried. They fear the gravy train is coming to a stop. No more easy paths to citizenship for the wets, and no more cheap, exploitable labour for the wealthy capitalists who employ them. This is long over due. GO ARIZONA!
