The original intent of this provision of the 14th Amendment was to protect freed slaves from being denied citizenship. Many legal scholars feel that an act pf Congress would be sufficient to clarify the law.

He did not have his green card with him, He was detained for about an hour. He provided his information. It was verified and then he was on his way. What is the big deal? Be here legally if you want to be here. Ken

If that means going where they are working and arresting the people who employ these illegals, I have no problem with that. The going rate would reset on these less desirable jobs as the available pool of labor becomes less flooded. If I have to pay 50 cents more per basket for strawberries, then that is the free market at work. Ken

As it is we are doing nothing and they are a huge burden. I say we cannot afford not to do it. The free market will take care of the jobs that are vacated. Maybe the conditions or the technology will have to improve. Your solution is no solution. Ken |
