Quote of the Day

"I also think that we need to have the courts review whether or not -- if you break the law to come into the U.S. -- whether your child would be a citizen just by being born here. The Fourteenth Amendment actually says that you will be a citizen as long as you are under the jurisdiction of the United States. Many argue that these children that are born to illegal aliens are really still under the jurisdiction of the Mexican government. I think we need to fight that out in the courts."

Rand Paul

The 14th amendment can't be fought out in court. The amendment makes clear any person born in the United States is a citizen. The 14th amendment would have to be repealed by a vote of 2/3 of Congress and 2/3 of the states.

As long as Mexico is poor and has ongoing drug violence people will flee into the United States. Even if Paul got his wish of an underground electrical fence it would not stop Mexicans from illegally entering the country. We have spent billions to stop illegal immigration and drugs from coming over the Mexican border. People like Paul want to throw money away at laughable ideas. No one wants to examine why people are leaving Mexico.
