Breaking from rivals, Jeb Bush defends birthright citizenship
Breaking from rivals, Jeb Bush defends birthright citizenship
By BRIANNA EHLEY

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush split from many of his fellow GOP presidential contenders on Tuesday and staunchly defended birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants — saying it is a constitutional right that should be protected.
During an interview with CBS’s Major Garrett, Bush waved off Donald Trump’s immigration plan — which includes repealing the 14th Amendment that provides birthright citizenship— as unrealistic.
“Mr. Trump can say that he’s for this because people are frustrated that it’s abused. But we ought to fix the problem rather than take away rights that are constitutionally in doubt,” Bush said.
Since Trump pushed the idea on Sunday, GOP presidential hopefuls Scott Walker and Bobby Jindal also called for ending birthright citizenship.
Other Republicans including Sen. Rand Paul, former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich have previously supported ending birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to undocumented immigrants — though Kasich now says it’s not necessary. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has said the issue needs to be revisited.
Meanwhile, Sen. Marco Rubio, former New York Gov. George Pataki and Carly Fiorina have opposed repealing the 14th Amendment. Although Rubio told voters in Iowa that he’s “open to exploring ways of not allowing people who are coming here deliberately for that purpose to acquire citizenship.”

From a previous thread:
Fortunately, we have the highest possible authority on record to answer this question of how the term "jurisdiction" was to be interpreted and applied, the author of the citizenship clause, Sen. Jacob M. Howard (MI) to tell us exactly what it means and its intended scope as he introduced it to the United States Senate in 1866:
"This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States,...."
'Nuff said?

Yes, definitely enough said. It's time to elect an Executive Branch that will uphold the Constitution. And when Donald J. Trump sits salmly and quietly opposite the Fox Clown, Bill O'Reilly, and says "I don't believe they're American citizens", then he is the man to uphold our Constitution and enforce our laws.
But I'm a Pro-Choice, FairTax supporter and am holding out for Leverage. Donald J. Trump, when you announce support for the FairTax, I'll put signs in my yard and send you money.
