PHOENIX -- E-mails to and from Ariz.state Sen. Russell Pearce reveal the immigration enforcement debate may not stop with SB 1070, the controversial immigration law.

Pearce, R-Mesa, the author of Arizona’s immigration law, has been writing to some of his constituents about what he plans to accomplish next.

In e-mails obtained by CBS 5 News, Pearce said he intends to push for a bill that would enable Arizona to no longer grant citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants born on U.S. soil.

Pearce wrote in one e-mail: "I also intend to push for an Arizona bill that would refuse to accept or issue a birth certificate that recognizes citizenship to those born to illegal aliens, unless one parent is a citizen."

Document: E-mails To And From Pearce

CBS 5 Investigates looked through hundreds of e-mails Pearce had sent to constituents and some of their replies. The e-mails varied from praise to criticism and outlined Pearce’s future plans. Most were about SB 1070, his immigration law.

E-mails from the law’s supporters outnumbered those from critics by seven to one.

One supporter wrote, "I think it is about time we take our state and country back from the Mexicans."

One opponent wrote, "Mr. Pearce, you are a sick, racist bigot..."

Pearce replied to some opponents: "Do you not care about the deaths…maimings…billions in cost to America..."

One of the more remarkable e-mails sent to a list of supporters detailed his next steps. The e-mail, several pages long, includes articles critical of the 14th Amendment, which gives babies born on U.S. soil automatic citizenship.

One of the e-mails written by someone else but forwarded by Pearce reads: "If we are going to have an effect on the anchor baby racket, we need to target the mother. Call it sexist, but that's the way nature made it. Men don't drop anchor babies, illegal alien mothers do."

In response, Pearce sent two e-mails to CBS 5 News that contain some of the reasoning he used to conclude that children of illegal immigrants should not be granted citizenship. He also said he's disappointed when people think he's mean spirited because he stands for America.

Pearce said his new idea is not only legal but it's also constitutional.

“It’s common sense,â€

Birthright Citizenship must end asap...absolute must

GREAT time to support this man and send contributions to show our national support...

Absolutely. Remember HB 1868 in the US House of Representatives does the same thing going forward of whenever the bill passes. As of yesterday it had 92 sponsors. Pearce should tell CBS his plans to introduce such a bill just mirrors a bill already introduced into the US Congress that has 92 sponsors, 13 times as many sponsors as the Obama Care Health Reform Bill.

The more I read about this man the more I love him! How lucky the people are to have someone with the guts to stand up and say NO MORE!

Excellent point Judy!

Arizona will step up again and enforce what the feds will not.

This is great news, as this will start the discussion,......what will happen when Americans start looking at the Constitution and realize that they have been hoodwinked? Politicians beware!

For those that do watch TV, are there any shows on the boob tube that are educating Americans about the Contstitution or their founders, or their writtings?

Let the unravelling begin!

Go Arizona!

If your Representative hasn't become a sponsor of HB 1868, then you should contact them and ask them to support this simple 1 page bill that corrects the error of giving automatic birthright citizenship to children of illegal aliens and tourists.

Yes, that and the fact that he is no longer politically neutered by the likes of nappy.

Yes, federal bill HB 1868 grandfathers all already here. It disallows it going forward of the date it's passed. It doesn't go back and undo any citizenship that people think they already have, just stops this insane practice in the future by federal law.
