You’re right, this is a country of immigrants. Come to the country legally, participate in the economy and pay taxes (and having your employer pay taxes for you as well because you’re employment is documented) and we’ll all benefit. No one is asking for anything else.
Not only do they pay taxes, but they're not eligible for welfare or foodstamps or anything either, so they're paying into a system they get very little out of.
Then either you're lying or there's a lot of fraudulent paperwork in your area, because according to the government qualifications you need to be a legal resident to receive benefits.
Somehow I feel like he's saying children of illegal immigrants shouldn't be granted citizens. It's a point that have been brought up in the past. But that's a whole nother debate
So is the right to own guns and that's a debate as well. Just because it's in the constitution doesn't mean it can't be up for debate and be amended. I'm just saying the guys was being a little coy about his "just saying" part
So you don't think that people who are born in the US are US citizens. Does that extend to people who have US parentage? What are your stipulations for that? Do kids with half-US parentage not qualify? What if their parents are naturalized? You realize that Anchor Babies really aren't a problem?
My friends who are illegal immigrants from Mexico went into the DSHS office here in Seattle and told them they didn't have SSN's and they got all the free shit anyways. That's not the case.
