Go for it, Unkabsurd. You can do it.

Unky is trying to avoid the L word but he won't be able to do it for long.

To which 'L' word are you referring, Fakey?

In the wake of the Civil War, many newly freed slaves were struggling to try and establish themselves. Lacking many of the same rights, these African Americans were relegated to political purgatory. This was particularly true in ex-slave states, which refused to issue even basic human rights to black Americans. To that end, Congress moved to pass the 14th Amendment, the most revolutionary shift in policy since the Bill of Rights, which passed July 9th, 1868.

The 14th Amendment, in particular, its first article, established the unprecedented policy of birthright citizenship in America. As such, any male child, born on American soil, would be afforded all the rights of national and state citizenship. Dangerously controversial at the time, its passage marked a monumental step in the efforts to curtail systemic racism.

Fortunately, time has helped to ease the horrors of slavery. Today, it is status quo for African Americans to enjoy all the rights and privileges of citizenship. Through successes like the civil rights movement, African Americans have greatly elevated their social status, allowing them to compete on somewhat equal footing in our country. In post-segregation America, very few politicians evoke the racially charged rhetoric that used to divide our nation. Yet over a century later, the 14th amendment is still a hotly debated source of racial controversy.

Recently, the 14th Amendment has been evoked to achieve a different effect. The emphasis has dramatically shifted away from rehabilitating ex-slaves and their disenfranchised offspring. No one questions the citizenship of any citizen's children, regardless of race or gender. Everyone agrees that the children of Americans are Americans. Today, however, the 14th Amendment is being used to achieve a different purpose; one that is creating serious cracks in the infrastructure of our country.

Unfortunately, the modern interpretation of the 14th Amendment is subject to regular abuse, with non-residents exploiting its language to facilitate their own residency. The past few decades have seen a rash of pregnant foreigners intentionally giving birth on American soil, in order to ensure citizenship for their offspring, and potentially themselves.

This abuse typically takes two forms; known colloquially as either "anchor babies" or "birth tourist." The former is the practice of having a baby in America in order to immediately "anchor" the parents in our country, while the latter cases typically returns to their home nation with their infants, with the intention of sending them back to America later in life. Both types of babies are born into citizenship, and they both qualify to have their parents become citizens once they turn 21. However despite their similarities, the two practices appear to be having a dramatically different impact on the American economy.

A wealth of statistics exists indicating that anchor babies are a tremendous drain on our economy. The problem is the parents of anchor babies have no way of legally paying taxes, as they themselves are non-residents. Yet they still regularly use all the tax-sponsored services available to Americans. They birth their children in our public hospitals, fill our schools with non-English speakers, and crowd our prisons with drug crime. In just California alone, non-residents, make up nearly 30% of our prisons, costing California over a billion dollars annually in incarceration. Moreover, the violence typically associated with the Mexican drug trade has increasingly spilled across the border, affecting the quality of life across southwestern states.

As far as healthcare, illegal aliens give birth to about 340,000 children nation wide each year, imposing tremendous medical costs on hospitals. Several hospitals, including ones in Stockton, CA and Dallas, TX, report as many as 70% of their deliveries are to non-residents. Similarly, since the parents of infant citizens still qualify for welfare in order to protect the child, the Center for Immigration studies estimates nearly $2 billion dollars goes to illegal aliens annually, in the form of food stamps and free lunches.

Over 29% of all education dollars get spent on teaching anchor babies, including over $1 billion dollars teaching English as a second language, according to FAIR. Similarly, several affected states offer Spanish translation services in many public arenas, at an additional cost to the taxpayers. All told, FAIR estimates that as much as $100 billion tax dollars get spent on illegal aliens annually -- this is just in education.

You can do it if you really, reallly try.

Go for it, Unkabsurd. You can do it.

To which 'L' word are you referring, Fakey?

I'd be glad to help you out if you let me know which 'L' word you are looking for.

I'm asking you a direct question. Are you ducking again?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Do you really not know? If you don't, I will tell you.

[Unkotare]

I've asked you several times now.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Unky, you can say 'liberal' if you really try. You have used it like a million times, dude. Now please don't act what you are not: a responsible mainstream Republican. Take pride in the fact that you a reactionary wack way to the right, far out of the mainstream.

 

[Unkotare]

Why didn't you just say so? Of course you are a liberal. No one buys your ridiculous, 'hey guys, I'm a Republican and here's what's wrong with us!' bullshit. It's clear you think you are really onto something clever with this whole routine, but it is just tired and obvious. So, yes, you are a liberal and every actual Republican here knows it.

Happy now?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Unky, you don't speak for "no one" or "we" or rational folks. You speak only for the ridiculously small group of reactionary nuts way out on the far right, who think anybody who disagrees with them is some sort of liberal.

You are tired, you are obsolete, you are useless, you are a reactionary, and, yes, you are not mainstream and never will be.

Feel better?

Come On Jake, don't throw Ucktaco on the right, we "Do Not Want Him". The far right are the citizen militias and "NOT" the Nazis or KKK. The far right citizen militias would lets say, "Reject Ucktaco In A Harsh Way".

No Jake, Ucktaco stays with you.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Nope, Unky goes with the citizen militia and other extremist non-mainstream dangers to America.

 

[HatInRing]

No way anyone on this side will have ucktaco. ucktaco acts like he's far liberal left so that's where he'll have to go.

I looked up Unkotare on the web. Somebody is downloading lots of porn. Just say'in!

 

[JakeStarkey]

Wow! Is he 13 or something?

 

[Unkotare]

I knew you couldn't avoid the 'M' word. You can't do your little act without it.

 

[Unkotare]

Nope, Unky goes with the citizen militia and other extremist non-mainstream dangers to America.

*yawn*

You really need to change up the act a little, Fakey.

 

[Unkotare]

Nope, Unky goes with the citizen militia and other extremist non-mainstream dangers to America.

No way anyone on this side will have ucktaco.

"This side"? Who the **** are you kidding? You are not on any "side." You are just a ******* headcase. Being an insane little ***** is not a political position, so stop trying to assume you represent one.

 

[Unkotare]

Most people here who googled a word they don't understand have already been corrected. I guess you missed the memo.

 

[Unkotare]

Wow! Is he 13 or something?

No, 13 is your IQ.

 

[HatInRing]

Wow! Is he 13 or something?

I doubt if he's a child. These sites had pics that were over the top gross.
