Immigrating America Into a Colony of Mexico
We’ve got an even more
ominous enemy within our borders that promotes “Reconquista of Aztlan” or the
reconquest of California, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas into the country of
Mexico. With 9.2 million Mexicans now living in America, their goal of
colonizing our country back into Mexico moves forward. A more sobering reality
stems from the evidence that it’s Mexican-American citizens in the forefront of
this disintegration of our country.

Inside Mexico's drug war: Heart wrenching images of
poverty and violence capture true misery of country ravaged by cartels
“While the Obama Administration downplays violence along the U.S.-Mexico border, authorities in Texas reveal that Mexican drug cartels have transformed parts of the state into a war zone where shootings, beheadings, kidnappings and murders are common.”
A Question of Citizenship… IN MEXIFORNIA,
ILLEGALS HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN LEGALS!

Commentary By Debra J. Saunders

Trust
Republicans to go too far. They take a good idea -- such as the notion that the
federal government should enforce immigration laws, and states should be able
to help -- and then drive it into the fringes. Witness a Fox News interview in
which Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., declared, "We should change our
Constitution and say if you come here illegally, and you have a child, that
child is automatically not a citizen."
Graham
has supported a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants. He opposed the new
Arizona immigration law. So why would he advocate repealing part of the 14th
Amendment -- which, by the way, exists because the Grand Old Party wanted to
stop efforts to keep freed slaves from becoming citizens?
Graham's
right about this much: Illegal immigrants have taken advantage of the law. The
Dallas Morning News reported Sunday that 60,000 babies are born annually in
Texas to illegal immigrants. Last year, these "anchor babies"
accounted for 16 percent of the state's births.
But
it's not clear how many illegal immigrants are coming here to have babies as
opposed to having babies in America because they are here.
Then
there's the recent Washington Post story about "birth tourism" and
affluent expectant mothers paying offshore consultants a $14,750 fee to obtain
tourism visas that allow them to give birth in the United States and win U.S.
citizenship for their babies.
No
one likes to see adults game the system. In June, pollster Scott Rasmussen
found that 58 percent of voters say a child born to an illegal immigrant should
not automatically become a citizen of the United States.
But
there are better ways to deal with those abuses. Direct the State Department to
deny visas to would-be birth tourists. Keep the heat on employers who knowingly
hire illegal workers. The new Arizona immigration law is designed to achieve
"attrition through enforcement." Deport more adults who, unlike
children, knowingly break the law.
But
some Republicans want to keep going. Rep.
Lamar Smith, R-Texas, is arguing that the 14th Amendment does not and never did
confer automatic birthright citizenship.
Section One states, "All persons born or
naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are
citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
"There are two elements, birth and
subject to the jurisdiction," Chapman University Law School Dean John C.
Eastman told me. "For about 50 years, we've just assumed birth was all you
needed." But a review of the original debates and early court cases
demonstrates a recognition that parents had to "show allegiance." If
they broke federal law, they "never qualified" as being under U.S.
jurisdiction.
This
is where the argument gets dicey. Eastman has argued that a child born to a
Saudi in the United States on a temporary student visa was not under U.S.
jurisdiction, as the father had not declared allegiance to America. Eastman's
answer is to let people come here to study or work, but as something less than
guests.
This
path could turn a melting pot nation into an empire of the native born and
law-abiding foreign workers who never have a chance to belong. Think Old
Europe. Think Saudi Arabia.
But don't think
