Do you favor Arizona denying birth certificates to children born to illegals?

youarewrongbobisright

Yes - it will likely force a review of the policies that most states impose on their interpretations of the 14th amendment by the supreme court.

Many people feel that it should never be used for the children of illegals being granted citizenship solely based on where the mother drops her package.

Certainly the lawmakers who debated the 14th seemed clear in that it should not be used to grant citizenship in this manner.

However our history is full of laws that have been "morphed" into something that the authors never intended.

krennao

yes I do.

matt h LOVES PEPSI YUM YUM

sure do

StarGirl

Yes, I favor.
The parents shouldn't even be in America in the first place.

Rorschach

Yes. They can get birth certificates from their own country. However, this should be a nationwide, federal policy: no anchor babies. The children ought to be citizens of the nation of citizenship of the parents.

mikea_va

Yes!!!! Hope other 49 states follow Arizona's idea!!!

dollface

Absolutely. That is the way it should be in this whole country. There is not a good enough reason why a baby should be a citizen when his/her parents are not.

Deeder Magoo

I 100% do!

I have no problem with LEGAL immigrants, but can't stand illegals.

Everyone deserves to have a better life, but they need to earn it like everyone else that comes here.

catmaninmo

yes, maybe other states will follow!

Ms.L.A.

I most definitely do!

a TRUE American

Yes I do. We have too many anchor babies.

Absolutely.
That would make them the only State to be in compliance with the 14th Amendment.

The author of the citizenship clause stated in his introduction of the clause to the 39th Congress that it would not, of course, include foreigners and aliens. That is pretty clear. The Supreme Court stated clearly, in 1982 that they had NEVER made a decision that would confer birthright citizenship on the offspring of illegals.

So there you have it. The 14th amendment denies it, the Supreme Court affirmed it and yet we still do it. Why?

meeting in the aisle

Yes

GUARD DOG

Yes----I agree 100%

Good for Arizona and Oklahoma for dealing w/ illegal immigrants------------------------only 48 states to go......

Yeeees

Lets stop the anchor baby abuse, lets imitate Switzerland!

I would even say let's do this retroactively 10-15 years back

Ida Slapter

Why yes - that's a capital idea!

Micky

For the sake of our country yes I do.

peanuthead

Absolutly. Everyone that knows our history and Constitution knows full well the reasoning behide the 14th ammendment and what it was intended for and how it is being abused now. The quicker they get this to the Supreme Court and have this fiasco ended the better....and this move gets the ball rolling in that direction.

No! Every child born in this country IS a citizen whether you like it or not or whether their parents are legal or not.

Beau

They can't it would be unconstitutional. The 14 amendment makes it so.

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.

Dog Tricks

Great idea but I do believe that would be illegal. And we all know...Laws are laws and we can't pick and choose or they become ineffective.

Happy Holidays and May your days be filled with joy!

Sherri M

Yes and No. If illegal cannot pay the bill in full, then yes withhold the certificate.

If they illegals pay the bill 100% at time of leaving the hospital. Give them the certificate.

I still heart fugin

I'm shure they will pass a law like it

But california will never pass a law like it because mexicans do have huge numbers there.

So all they will have to do is have there baby in california or even texas.

But I think there's a better way.....mexicans don't want to leave mexico, and if you didn't know that, you don't know a lot of things.

no body asked them to come??

They don't WANT to leave mexico, but they HAVE to leave mexico....two different things. Do you think they WANT to cross a dessert, hide from ICE and live in fear??

But I don't expect you to know the answer, its something you just have to live to understand.

And yes, I am a citizen.

cupguin

Arizona should deny birth certificates to all newborns...damned newborns thinking they deserve something just for being born somewhere. As if where you are born means something.

lynne

YES = No other country gives citizenship solely on the grounds of birth. They also have to have at least one parent who is a legal citizen in addition to being born there. Look into Norway citizenship laws. We are already overly lenient in comparison to other nations.
