Of course this woman Democrat Representative was against it (stdreb will love that one). She stated that since African-Americans were the main intent of the 14th, and they were essentially 'illegal immigrants' in this country since they were never given US citizenship when they got here, then the same intent applied to any other illegal immigrant that enters this country. The Republican Senator says he wants to give the Supreme Court the opportunity to decide whether his new proposed law would meet the 'Constitutional Litmus Test', and allow the US to deny automatic citizenship to anyone that enters our borders.
of course it proves my point...
But seriously what kind of arguement is that, she states the intent behind th 14th ammendment, people ripped from their huts forced to be slaves. vs people sneaking into the country and popping out a crumb cruncher... And it applies the same. Talk about a horrible argument.
Then that republican moron saying we should pass the law and let the supreme court figure it out... Be like passing a gun ban then saying let the supreme court figure it out. How irresponsible is that! (someone saw janet brewers bounce and is looking for one of his own...)
