What about the the ones who come here legally on a visa, and give birth while here? You know that about 40-50% of illegal immigrants come here legally and just overstay their visa, right?

So we're now talking about deporting U.S. citizens because of what their parents did.

And what if they breed faster than we can deport them? Should we create a final solution for that?

Slippery slope.

Guess what, that still makes them illegal now, doesn’t matter how they go here. And I seriously doubt that statistic is accurate anymore (if ever) after Joe opened the border wide [BLEEP] open.

A lot of talk about this 14th amendment.  How it makes children of illegals citizens. People entering illegally, overstaying visas etc. I thought I would first read the actual portion that applies.See below

Section 1. 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

First the easy part. People entering illegally, visas or green cards are not naturalized so deportation is an acceptable cure. 

The born portion is where it gets messy. It could be argued that the kids are minors. Their parents have responsibility for them, they are subject to the jurisdiction of their parents. A minor, cannot enter into contracts or take on other responsibilities until reaching the age of majority. This would mean they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the US. Therefore are deported with the parents.

Just a thought...

ps Meet the Press (CBS) edited the text leaving out the and subject to the jurisdiction part. Wonder why?
