Compassionate/Humane Immigration Reform

The American people are compassionate and humane and they are also fair and it is not humane, compassionate and fair to those people waiting legally for years to immigrate legally and those who have followed the rules, spending thousands of dollars to immigrate legally to allow those who broke all the laws by entering the country illegally, working illegally using stolen or false documents to be allowed to stay on a path to citizenship which puts them ahead of those who are still waiting to enter legally. Children know this is not fair. If they are allowed to stay because their have children that are U.S. citizens is not fair and automatic birthright citizenship need to be amended. Those 11 million that are here illegally should go to the back of the line which is in the country from which they came. Compassionate, humane and fair. Cannot have compassionate and humane without fair. How do we get the 11 million to leave? E-Verify. If they cannot work they will leave and they will not come. Without E-Verify and enforcement another amnesty will only lead to another amnesty until the borders will eventually be left wide open.
Those children that are here by no fault of their own are not all law abiding innocent children. I would like to ask Sen. Patrick Leahy how many of those children are members of gangs? How is giving amnesty to these children going to make us safer? Gang of Eight sound like a gang of idiots.

Comprehensive Immigration Reform by the Gang of Eight is only a repeat of the 1986 Amnesty with the same outcome but more costly to the American people. GOD help us if it passes into law.

What we really need is a reinterpretation by the Supreme Court of the various Constitutional provisions that are currently utilized as the basis for declaring Anchor Babies to be citizens, with an eye towards discontinuing the practice.

Supreme Court decisions

The correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is subject to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby.

Over a century ago, the Supreme Court appropriately confirmed this restricted interpretation of citizenship in the so-called "Slaughter-House cases" [83 US 36 (1873) and 112 US 94 (1884)]13. In the 1884 Elk v.Wilkins case12, the phrase "subject to its jurisdiction" was interpreted to exclude "children of ministers, consuls, and citizens of foreign states born within the United States." In Elk, the American Indian claimant was considered not an American citizen because the law required him to be "not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance."
