Why is pro-amnesty Senator Lindsay Graham suddenly pushing to rewrite the 14th amendment to end instant citizenship for the 600-800,000 illegal aliens babies born the USA annually!
For the record, this is not a new issue. Looking into our own archives, we found a 2004 article documenting that 300,000 illegal alien babies were being granted citizenship each year back then!
Over the past 20 years, U.S. Border Control worked with a small but courageous group of Congressmen who managed to introduce and support legislation and Constitutional Amendments to restore this flaw in our nation’s immigration policy to what the authors of the 14th Amendment had intended.
And year after year, the same 40-50 thoughtful members of Congress worked hard to find more supporters among their colleagues. But Senators like Graham and McCain were not among them. They were sipping champagne with Ted Kennedy and looking down their noses at we, the people while dreaming of being reelected for life by the millions of illegal aliens they allowed to become citizens.
Early on in this effort, Border Control abandoned the Constitutional amendment route because (a) it would be much harder to pass and (b) take years to accomplish. The simple solution was to pass one of the many bills that have been introduced by Congressmen Ron Paul, Gary Miller, Nathan Deal, Elton Gallegly and many others … and then wait for LaRaza or some other radical pro-Hispanic group to drag it up to the Supreme Court where, hopefully, common sense might again prevail.
I believe that Senator Graham, like John McCain, is still a strong advocate for open borders and amnesty for illegal aliens and he has rasied this issue to poison the water for against passing legislation to stop the granting of citizneship to the offspring of illegal aliens.
