First, McCain wasn't given citizenship based on birthright citizenship by geography. He had birthright citizenship by parentage (i.e. both of his parents were American citizens). Second, Michelle Malkin is the kind of person that should be getting birthright citizenship--her parents immigrated here legally, and she was born here, and has spent her whole life here.
Why is that a "good" thing? Why is that a goal anyone would want their country to do, given how no other developed country on earth does it, and how it cheapens and undermines citizenship? Why should others try to follow legal pathways to citizenship, waiting years in some cases, when an illegal can just walk across the border and pop out an anchor baby? Here is an article that should make any and all taxpayers quite angry: http://news.investors.com/ibd-editorials/082815-768790-us-taxpayers-bear-weight-of-anchor-babies.htm "Overall, 71% of Hispanic immigrant households with children are using one or more welfare programs, compared with 57% of all immigrants and 39% of native households with children, the center estimated, based on the most recent Census Bureau surveys."
I believe a lot of people who support the illegals are themselves unsuccessful in society and are living off of welfare or are very close to it. They have a mindset that the government will provide everything for them, and they feel the more people like them, the more political power they will have to keep the gravy train rolling. At least until the country goes bankrupt, and then it will stop altogether.
Illegal aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US, that's why there are such things called "embassies."
It's a good thing for those of us who believe in a little thing called human rights and not in white supremacy. If that's your idea of cheapening citizenship you might want to look to getting citizenship in a country that "properly" values the institution. Like, maybe, North Korea, for example. There's no such thing as anchor babies. US citizens (regardless of ancestry) aren't eligible to sponsor family members for green cards until they turn 21. Having a child who's a US citizens provides absolutely no legal protection from being deported for an undocumented immigrant. The only reason you lot go on about it is to try to demonize the children so you don't look quite so monstrous when you tear apart families. LOL I knew as soon as I saw those statistics in your post that this had to be coming from the Center for Immigration Studies. CIS is a racist hate group masquerading as a think tank that blatantly makes up lies to inflame xenophobia and racism. "[CIS]'s executive director... posted an item on the conservative National Review Online website about Washington Mutual, a bank that had earlier issued a press release about its inclusion on a list of "Business Diversity Elites" compiled by Hispanic Business magazine. Over a copy of the bank's press release, the CIS leader posted a headline "Cause and Effect?" that suggested a link between the bank's opening its ranks to Latinos and its subsequent collapse." https://www.splcenter.org/20090201/nativist-lobby-three-faces-intolerance For that matter, CIS's founder has ties to white supremacist organizations that go all the way back to Nazi Germany. So yeah, real credible source you got there. Maybe you should cite a press release from the KKK while you're at it? Yeah, because the rich spend their days sweating in the factories and laboring in the fields to provide for the needs of all those ungrateful poor people. The rich are rich because they have high social status, not because they do anything actually useful. One unemployed person volunteering to pick up litter off the streets is worth ten billionaires in terms of actually contributing to making the world a better place. Thanks to this little thing called the Industrial Revolution, we only need a tiny workforce to provide for all the material needs of society. We're all parasites living off robotic factories by the standards you're using here. So your position is that the US does not have the legal authority to prosecute foreign nationals for crimes committed on US soil? Well, you better get yourself moving to get whatsisname out of jail - you know, the illegal alien who murdered that person in San Fransisco a while back. Obviously it's a gross injustice for the US to lock him up.
