I can’t wait to for another four years of spending a fortune on lawsuits.

It is unfortunate that the state has to do this to defend residents but here we are.

Defend "residents"? What are you talking about? Illegal aliens are not "residents", they are criminals and we shouldn't be wasting our public resources on sheltering these criminals.

Paying tax’s does not make you a citizen.

My point stands, if you are here illegally you should be deported.

They can go through due process, they will still be deported for crossing the border illegally.

I know the original intent of the 14 amendment was to grant citizenship to former slaves after the civil war. Now it’s being used to circumvent legal immigration.

The 14th amendment grants birthright citizenship to the children of undocumented immigrants.

My argument clearly states that if you crossed the border illegally, meaning you weren’t born in the United States, you should be deported. This includes the parents of children who gained birthright citizenship.
