    CNN Debate Fails On 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause

    CNN Debate Fails On 14th Amendment’s Citizenship Clause

    Douglas V. Gibbs Wednesday, October 19, 2011

    Anderson Cooper, at one point during Tuesday Night’s CNN Republican Presidential Debate, asked about the opinion of the candidates regarding how the 14th Amendment indicates that all babies born on U.S. Soil are citizens. Then, after Herman Cain and Rick Perry dodged the question, he began asking if the 14th Amendment regarding anchor babies should be repealed.


    The premise was wrong, and the candidates, along with Anderson Cooper, showed how little they know about the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment. The fact is, anchor babies are not citizens of the United States, and the 14th Amendment does not guarantee citizenship to babies born on American soil.

    When Anderson Cooper, or any of these other mistaken individuals, say that children of illegal aliens born in the United States are American citizens, and that by deporting their parents it splits up families, it is proof that their understanding of the language used in the 14th Amendment is either poor, or they have redefined that language.

    The Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment reads:


    “All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.â€

    I think there might be a few politicians on that stage that knew about the 14th amendment in reference to automatic birthright citizenship. But politicians have been trained to lie. So when you have a practice by the States for 50 years, it becomes the law. And there is no one in this country that will change that policy to give out bc's to these kids. We as citizens of the US are helpless in this regard. There is no person who should have US citizenship, who has been denied US citizenship save for some Vietnamese still stuck in Viet Nam. So no one has standing to sue except them. The only way to try the practice is to get this practice stopped in a state legislature, at which time it will go to the Supreme Court.
    And if it should come down that these peoples are not entitled to US citizenship, what do you think the chances are that people will obey the Supreme Court? We have a lawless group of people who come from corrupt countries. nough said.
    You can thank the Federal gov and State vital statistics departments for destroying America. Its over, this country will be just another third world country eventually.

    Have the GOP Candidates Forgotten About Obamacare?

    One of the main rallying cries of the 2010 elections was the repeal of Obamacare. It was one of the things that helped the Republicans win back control of the House of Representatives and drastically narrow the margin between them and Democrats in the Senate.

    However, nothing has really been accomplished since then concerning Obamacare.

    The economic disaster brought on by the Democratic policy of spend till your dead along with the high unemployment level has and should be the main emphasis of Republican candidates for the White House, Senate, House of Representatives, state and local levels. Immigration is also an important issue, but it seems that nearly all of the GOP runners have been loudly silent concerning Obamacare and what it is about to do to every American.

    When pressed about healthcare, Romney continues to defend the program he helped establish in Massachusetts even though it is currently struggling with how to pay for it. Several other GOP presidential candidates have criticized Romney for his program and compared it to Obama’s, but as yet, none of them have offered up anything about health care except a modest desire to repeal it.

    Consequently, several conservative groups have started working on possible alternative health care programs that Republicans could use as a replacement for Obamacare. They want to be prepared to offer up a program when the timing is right, but when will that timing be seems to be somewhat of a mystery.

    One GOP plan being considered was first proposed in 2009. Instead of costing taxpayers the $900 billion that Obamacare cost, the 2009 GOP plan would only cost $61 billion. One of the main differences in the plans is that the GOP plan frees many insurers from government requirements. They believe this would markedly slow down the rise in premiums, unlike the current state of Obamacare creating record skyrocketing premiums.

    Critics of the 2009 GOP healthcare plan have stated that this plan would leave millions of Americans who cannot afford health insurance without any coverage, unlike Obamacare. However, what they fail to acknowledge is that Obamacare is causing premiums to increase so much that more and more Americans cannot afford health insurance and will find themselves facing mandate penalties.

    I don’t know about you, but I intend to remind the GOP candidates of their promises made two years ago to repeal Obamacare and hope and pray they have something decent to offer in its place.
