Immigration: Arizona's governor tells illegals if you want family unity, take your kids home with you.

And a Tea Party candidate for the Senate says just being born here does not make you a citizen. Anchor babies, away!

We've seen the photos of children holding signs at protests that read, "Don't deport my parents."

They're called "anchor babies" because they're considered citizens by being born on American soil.

"You can't break up families", the argument goes, "even to enforce America's immigration laws."

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who had the audacity to copy federal law and then enforce it in cases where illegal aliens suspected of violating the law can't prove they belong here, has an answer to that too:

"Send the kids home with their parents; the family that leaves together, stays together."

In a recent interview with Tucson's local ABC affiliate, Brewer was asked about how to solve the problem of mixed-status families, in response to news that a local school district was planning to sue the governor on behalf of their legal children's illegal parents.

Not pandering or tap-dancing like most politicians would, Brewer answered: "They can take their children back with them."

"It is illegal to trespass in our country," Brewer continued.

"It has always been illegal. And people have determined that they want to take that chance, that responsibility.

We are a nation of laws. That is why we are America. They made a decision, and, you know, you pay those consequences, unfortunately."

In other words, if you break this nation's immigration laws, being pregnant is not nor never is an extenuating circumstance.

In Kentucky, Rand Paul, the Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate, has attracted attention with his libertarian view of the Constitution.

He insists, as columnist George Will has done on these pages, that these "anchor babies" are not U.S. citizens at all and are considered such only under a "bizarre misreading and misinterpretation" of the Constitution that few have dared to challenge.

Paul reminds us that prior to the 14th Amendment -- passed July 3, 1866, and ratified six days later -- to be a citizen of the United States, you had to be a legal citizen of one of the states.

Nine years earlier, the Supreme Court in Dred Scott v. Sandford held that no black, not even a freed black, could be considered a citizen.

The purpose of the 14th Amendment was to repeal the Dred Scott decision, grant full citizenship to all blacks and to elevate citizenship from a state to a national determination.

It was not to protect illegal aliens coming across the border.

Congress, in the Civil Rights Act of 1866, stated: "All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby considered to be citizens of the United States."

The 14th Amendment, with the exception of the Indian exemption, elevated that law to the law of the land.

"A lot of this is about demographics," says Paul.

"If you look at illegal immigrants from Mexico, they register 3-to-1 Democrat, so the Democratic Party is only for continued easy citizenship and allowing them to vote to change America's laws in their favor."

John C. Eastman, a law professor at Chapman University and a fellow at the Claremont Institute, argues that illegal aliens from Mexico are still foreign nationals and are absolutely not subject to U.S. jurisdiction, except for the sole purposes of deportation, and therefore, their children born on American soil should not be given nor granted automatic U.S. citizenship.

A bill in Congress, the "Birthright Citizenship Act," which has 92 cosponsors, would help restore the 14th Amendment's original meaning and intent by granting citizenship only "if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is (born in the U.S.)."

According to a new Rasmussen poll, 64% of U.S. voters agree that a child born to an illegal immigrant in this country should not automatically become a citizen of the United States.

American citizens can take their country back and tightly secure its borders.

It is time to permanently remove that carrot and make becoming a U.S. citizen require more than your mother successfully sneaking past the U.S. Border Patrol -- it takes absolute commitment and allegience to that country!

Then send mom and dad packing back home -- with the kids.

Immigration: Arizona's governor tells illegals if you want family unity, take your kids home with you.

Illegal aliens have had that option the whole time. They use their American born children to make claims for staying in the United States. They use them to take from American taxpayers. They use them to hurt the families of American citizens.

Parents must accept responsibility for their children, and for their own mistakes. Having a child does not excuse their illegal actions. They are bankrupting the states and the nation even further.

Psalm 139:14

Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who had the audacity to copy federal law and then enforce it in cases where illegal aliens suspected of violating the law can't prove they belong here, has an answer to that too:

"Send the kids home with their parents; the family that leaves together, stays together."

Brilliant! I cannot tell you how proud I am of Gov. Jan Brewer and her courage to finally address the illegal invader issue with common sense and truth!

Enforcing our immigration laws does not separate families, crossing our border illegally does! Get the hell out and take your anchors with you. Anchors away is right!
