    Norquist Says Ending Birthright Citizenship Is a Tax

    Norquist Says Ending Birthright Citizenship Is a Tax

    Americans for Tax Reform President Grover Norquist, who is most famous at the moment for waging a political war on government spending, said on Monday that ending automatic citizenship for babies born on U.S. soil would be a tax on having babies.

    “This is a tax on every child being born,” he said during a telephone conference call hosted by the public-policy group National Foundation for American Policy. “It solves no problems and instead creates all sorts of problems and costs in terms of Americans.”

    NFAP published a study on Monday showing that ending so-called “birthright citizenship” would cost new parents $600 to $1,000 in legal fees to establish citizenship for their babies. Some Republicans have suggested that automatic citizenship be rescinded, a change that almost certainly would require a constitutional amendment. GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has tapped immigration hardliner Kris Kobach as an adviser. Kobach is the brains behind Arizona’s tough immigration law and has also authored studies suggesting various ways to end birthright citizenship.

    As a way of appeasing the Republican base, GOP candidates like Romney have tacked hard to the right on immigration. Norquist was a supporter of a comprehensive immigration reform bill in 2006 and 2007 and has consistently argued that Republicans should embrace a broader immigration policy that would help employers in agriculture and the hospitality industries get access to foreign workers. Thus far, those arguments have been ignored, a fact Norquist acknowledged. “It’s frustrating, and it’s why people lash out and reach out for these non-solutions” like ending birthright citizenship, he said.

    Unbelievable. This guy doesn't know anything about taxes. What other enforcement against illegal immigration qualifies as a tax to this guy?

    Allowing birthright citizenship could be considered a tax on citizen taxpayers. Just think of all the taxes we pay for their support. Benefits that would not be available to non-citizens.

    It is not that difficult or expensive to get a certified copy of the parents birth certs or to provide a copy of a verifiable green-card. I would also say a US passport would work.

    How does he do his math that it would cost an American Citizens $600-1k to prove the baby should get citizenship? Showing the Birth Certificate of the parent should be enough and out of 2 parents that should be easy or even just the Mother having to show her Birth Certificate unless married. Last I checked most states charge $15-25 for a copy of ones birth certificate and most people already have a copy.

    Grover Norquist is one of the Republican architects behind the illegal alien invasion of America and mass murder of Americans by illegal immigrants.

    He is on the payroll of the Saudis and constantly agrees with and supports the National Council of La Raza. He is a true DC insider that holds court within his log cabin circles in DC in true Lindsay Graham style.

    If all of his organization supporters knew his true immigration stances, his tax group would collapse.

    We are occupied by over 20 million illegal aliens from Mexico thanks to Karl Rove and George W. Bush.

    Karl Rove and the corporate corruption he represents are the very same traitors today as he was the day he endoresed LaRaza publicly and openly.
