Thread: Don’t Leave The Child Behind-DREAM Act & 14th Amendmen

Don’t Leave The Child Behind
October 20th, 2007 by MorningStar

We keep hearing a lot about the little kids who are stranded after their illegal aliens parents are picked up and deported out of the United States, some of these kids are American citizens because they happened to have been born here, but many of them were brought here by their parents. The other dilemma we are hearing a lot about has to do with the children of illegal aliens who come here with their kids and put them through our school system. If the parents can avoid being apprehended and deported, their kids may end up going from kindergarten through 12th grade without a hitch. Some of these kids may be fairly good students who actually apply themselves to their education while avoiding the drugs and gangs that plague most schools in low-income areas. Once they graduate from high school, most of them are at a dead end because they are illegal aliens. They have lived most of their lives in the U.S. and got their education here but because they are illegal aliens they can’t get Social Security cards and find a job without fear of being deported. These are the kids that the Democrat’s DREAM Act is focused on and the congressional liberals insist on portraying them as victims of circumstances beyond their control because they didn’t ask to come here, their parents brought them when they were too young to resist and had no say in the decision. While the Democrats in Washington seem to think that these children represent an untapped resource that they American people should be willing to support and nurture, the children that were not born in this country are technically illegal aliens and under the provisions of federal law they should be deported regardless of how many years they have spent here, how many years of education they received here, or whether or not they are, as the Democrats tell us, victims of circumstance who had no choice in the matter.

Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution clearly states that, “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.â€

Excellent article and I agree with every single word. I think that any children born to illegal aliens in this country AFTER 1986 should have their citizenship rescinded and any and all birthrights revoked.

Anything after the 1986 amnesty was deliberately calculated to overrun this country with Mexican and South American issues, burdens and citizens. Send them and their over abundant welfare usurping burdens home.

It is not fair to Mexico or the children born in this country for them to be legal citizens and their parent are illegal. These children who are going to school, expecially college can be an asset to Mexico if they are deported with their parents. If their working parents are adding to our economy, they can do the same for Mexico.
If they are back in Mexico they will create jobs there for themselves. That is what they are doing here. There is no jobs waiting for these people. Their needs create jobs. They children in our schools create jobs because there is a need for more schools, more teachers, more janitors and cooks, etc.More food has to be produced to feed the addition population they create.And the list goes on and on.
They create jobs for themselves. And more jobs means they can produce more and the business get richer, pays more taxes on the money he makes. And we have to pick up the bill when we pay taxes for services they take advantage of.

Found this comment on one of the forums and thought hmmmm.....

The illegals have to be under the jurisdiction of the United States. The Mexican President just said that these are his people and he will do whatever it takes to protect them while they are in the U.S. "Wherever there is a mexican,is Mexico". Since he and the Mexican senate have publicly stated this, all mexican nationals in the U.S.are under the Mexican jurisdiction.

Wouldn't Calderon's speech nullify instant US citizenship for Mexican babies born in the US?

I would think certainly think so!

..all mexican nationals in the U.S.are under the Mexican jurisdiction.

NOSIRREE!! Anyone in the U.S. is under the jurisdiction of the U.S.! If you are here legally or illegally, you are bound by the laws of the United States and not any other country.

It would certainly seem that way!
