It's as if Harry Reid was never the center of this story in the first place. Wow! Surprise, surprise! Conservatives deflecting attention from their embarrassing attacks on American heritage. Imagine that.
Within the immigration debate, so-called “anchor babies” are pretty much a non-issue. For such a child to affect the immigration status of their parents, they must be 21-years old. Using a baby ‘dropped’ in this country in such a way represents a 22-plus-year conspiracy to get legal status. How nefarious! Such foresight!
This thread is about yet another meaningless gesture to garner populist support by political opportunists. And, why not? Politics is about opportunism if it is about nothing else.
Attacking birthright citizenship feels good despite providing no real hope for progress on immigration issues. Changing the Constitution will take years and achieve nothing significant; even, make things worse. Thank you, Senator Lindsey Graham.
So many conservatives are terrible hypocrites. They tell us they want to take our country back; but, far from ‘conserving’ what we inherited, they want to take us back to a country that never was, a meaner country, a nastier country. It's as if they were telling us that they have to destroy the country in order to save it. No, thanks, conservatives, no thanks.
