Lindsey Graham often acts like an undercover liberal when he goes across the aisle to support things like phony global warming or closing down Gitmo, but now he’s saying something I agree with.
Believe it or not Lindsey “Goober” Graham is about to introduce a constitutional amendment changing birthright citizenship or illegals.
“I may introduce a constitutional amendment that changes the rules if you have a child here,” Graham said during an interview with Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren. “Birthright citizenship I think is a mistake, that we should change our Constitution and say if you come here illegally and you have a child, that child’s automatically not a citizen.”
Asked how intent Graham is on introducing the amendment, the South Carolina Republican responded: “I got to.”
“People come here to have babies,” he said. “They come here to drop a child. It’s called "drop and leave." To have a child in America, they cross the border, they go to the emergency room, have a child, and that child’s automatically an American citizen. That shouldn’t be the case. That attracts people here for all the wrong reasons.”
I couldn’t agree more. Everyone knows the 14th Amendment wasn’t meant to be used the way it has been. No other country on earth offers such a sweet deal to illegal immigrants. Putting a stop to anchor babies would go a long way to solving our illegal immigration problems.
Obviously, Barack Obama would never sign such an amendment but we can still have the conversation now and then pass it when his one term is up.
