I really don't get the argument against birthright citizenship. If you are born here, you should be able to stay.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning. They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Wouldn't you agree that birthright citizenship provides a perverse incentive for people to break our immigration laws? Why do you think it is that the vast majority of nations, including developed nations, either never had birthright citizenship or have since repealed it?

That is why we are better than they are economically, morally, etc. It's just a danged shame our president doesn't believe in American exceptionalism.

You know just as well as I do that basing a constitutional right to birthright citizenship on the dicta of one footnote in a decades old case is a pretty thin reed. How about we put the issue squarely before the current Court and find out? I’ll bet you a bazillion dollars I’m right.
Someone mod the spracne KSUW circle jerk to its own birthright thread
Call outs have increased by 200%-300% at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, where typically 25 to 30 TSA employees call out from an average shift according to a local TSA official familiar with the situation....One called it the "blue flu," a reference to the blue shirts worn by transportation security officers who screen passengers and baggage at airport security checkpoints.

I’ll bet you a bazillion dollars I’m right.I mean, read the first sentence of the 14th Amendment...If this issue ever does get to SCOTUS, I'll take that bet (but let's make it a realistic number that will sting a little).Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Going straight to an anti-immigration think-tank to get a legal opinion seems like it might be a flawed strategy.

"Pssshh, well they're anti-immigration - what do you expect?" Meanwhile, Spracs is furiously transcribing his notes from liberal law professors into a treatise-length post.
