Anchor baby law to be changed.

[JakeStarkey]

Constitution is supreme, no con con as they want it can change that.

Go read the amendment process, far right sillies, and begin from there.

 

[Dovahkiin]

Texas never ceases to amaze.

Texas will be laughed out of the courtroom. Only congress can make that change. Texas can't yeehaw their way out of the constitution.

Then let congress issue the birth certificates.

Im sure the ACLU will be bitch slapping Texas in fed court before you know it .

 

[JakeStarkey]

Hey, Texas is the southern equivalent of Utah: absolutely amazing and really fucking strange.

I love both states.

Could Trump really change birthright rules? - CNN.com

 

[JakeStarkey]

No, Trump can do nothing about birth right law.

 

[ScienceRocks]

So much for righties being "strict constitutionalists" .

They're ever strict constitutionalist when it comes to helping the poor and middle class. Otherwise, fuck you!!!

Nope, but he can appoint Supreme Court Justices who can return the language of the amendment to its original meaning.

You do know amendments can be amended.

Wrong it's not a birthright

Texas can't change the constitution .

Simple.

14th Amendment: why birthright citizenship change 'can't be done'

Texas cannot, but a SCOTUS ruling on the language of the amendment could return is to its original meaning, as did Heller for the 2A.

Yep, the activist conservatives can make the law up in 5-4 decisions. Funny, how real conservatives opposed activist judges and the new iteration of 21st Century conservatives like it when they like the ruling and piss and moan when they don't.

I do know that, but that is not the only path to correction of erroneous later developments and political redefinition of words and clauses.

Correcting a mistake made later in the country's history is not activism.

Where does it say that illegals have the right to a birth certificate if they cannot provide the required ID? That is all. They are not "denying citizenship".

Now, everyone that didn't get that from the article needs to enroll in remedial reading class.

They can try.

No, Trump can do nothing about birth right law.

It's not a law, it's a court opinion and they're changed all the time.

Not only Texas but every state should do this.

Nothing is changing in Texas or anywhere else. Deal with it.

Not very often and this will not change in the 21st century.

Not only Texas but every state should do this.

You do realize that to repeal or change the 14th amendment requires a 2/3's vote in the Senate a 2/3's vote in the Congress (super majorities) and then 38 state legislatures to approve it.

Which equates to ZERO to NO chance.

Your right. It takes a 2/3rd majority of Congress to change an amendment.

If all the States who are being affected by the anchor baby situation would start lobbying other States they might be able to get that 2/3rds majority to make the change.

It sure would be worth a try so we taxpayers can stop supporting illegals in America. Maybe those assholes would go back to Mexico or whatever third world shithole they crawled out of and we would save millions.

The issue will be dealt with within five years. Whether or not the amendment is returned to its original meaning is dependent, unfortunately, upon the political circumstances of the Court.

"The Fourteenth Amendment’s citizenship clause differed from the common law rule in that it required owing complete allegiance only to the United States in advance rather than automatically bestowed by place of birth, i.e., only children born to parents who owed no foreign allegiance were to be citizens of the United States – that is to say – not only must a child be born but born within the complete allegiance of the United States politically and not merely within its limits."
