Mike Huckabee wants to amend the Constitution to prevent children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens from automatically becoming American citizens, according to his top immigration surrogate — a radical step no other major presidential candidate has embraced.

Is it wrong to be more bothered/worried about the Minute Man Project than illegals lol

So to anyone that supports this, why did YOU get citizenship? Do you believe it resides in the sperm of your dad and is passed to you?
The minute men are group formed upon nationalst bullshit, thats the problem.
Well lets get rid of welfare :bow
We started this country going come on in dreams n shit! Then we get scared cause OMG mexicans then we say gtfo OUR DREAMS n shit!
Its ridiculous. We're perfectly willing to ship skilled labor jobs overseas but are upset about people coming in and taking our crap jobs.

That may be so but at least they help keep some of the drugs out. Idk, that whole border situation is a mess. Personally I'd like to see a fence put up. I should really read up more on the whole issue though.

Tell that to people with families who are losing their jobs. Been to a construction site around midnight lately?

Who do we REALLY blame? People who want jobs and are willing to work for them, or employers that exploit people who want jobs.
I can't imagine that punishing the children of illegals can perpetuate any sort of horrible cycle. Huckabee would be creating a huge class of peoplewith no nationality at all, inside our own borders! Go Jesus.Children automatically receive citizenship from the country their parents are citizens of. So they would not be without a nation. If I had a child--big hypothetical--and the child for some reason was not born in Canada I would not freak out if the child did not receive citizenship in whatever country he happened to be born in at the time. He would still receive Canadian citizenship.
The US government for doing nothing about it. Of course when an American politician wants to do something you people get all bent out of shape.We started this country going come on in dreams n shit! Then we get scared cause OMG mexicans then we say gtfo OUR DREAMS n shit!

Meh. Allowing the children to become American citizens only encourages people to jump the borders illegally even more. It's like getting Oprah pregnant, she may divorce your ass but you'll always have her babyI nearly posted before I saw you quickly jump off the soap box at the end.
It would be impossible to throw every illegal immigrant out the country - and it would be pretty damn ugly to do. Close the fucking border, make it a homeland security issue, severely punish companies that continue to take advantage of illegal immigrants, give illegal immigrants already in the country the chance to become citizens (so they can pay their damn taxes), and finally MAKE IT EASIER TO BECOME AN AMERICAN CITIZEN.
But guess what, none of that will ever happen because politicians are too deeply involved with these companies to ever punish them. And in 30 years...le sighspoiler (click to show/hide)OMG RACIST[close]
I've seen illegal immigrants working on construction sites - many do have some skills, and even if they don't they're often exploited to do the heavy lifting stuff. So before construction begins you may see a bunch of people dropping off the equipment at the site for instance. Jobs are being taken, and not just ones "Americans won't do"so you saw brownies building a house? shock and fucking awe. that's wrong.
But like I said, they're not the problem
the specific figure I was given was around 10% in a 35 person contracting company. these are all also temporary workers that stay on the specific job for 1-2 weeks usually. a construction job is pretty rare for illegals.

Not in Texas. Its at least 75% here.
what are you basing that on?
how the fuck would there be that much of a difference?
you also live in texas.[/b]
have you actually seen a poll showing how many illegals work in construction?

People who complain against illegal immigrants ''stealing'' jobs make me lulz. Do you actually think that legal citizens are lining up for jobs like this? Part the of the reasons these industries resort to ''illegals' is because our native population does not have an applicant pool large enough to fill and even consider taking these jobs.
they're not doing any of the actual planning or building. They're told to cut some wood and they cut some wood. They're told to put a door up, they put a door up. No translation really necessary. And there's fuck tons of them at construction sites in Texas.Meh. Allowing the children to become American citizens only encourages people to jump the borders illegally even more.

major corporations have lobbies for this so a lot of politicians don't want to hurt them and be hard on immigration.
PD, there's not that many illegals in construction sites. they don't speak english well, don't have certification, and often can't use tools. I mean, I'm just going off what my friends' parents who are contractors say but I don't go to construction sites at midnight so my facts might be wrong.
god forbid we make them citizens and get taxes from them! OMG employers might have to pay them AT LEAST MIN WAGE OMG SORRY MR STEEL FACTORY:bow
:bowwhat did i do? :(
:bow
:-*
I'm still angry with you though.
BOBOBOBO LAZY MESSICANS JUST WANT ON WELFARE ROSTERZ CUZ UH WHAT LOL RON PAUL! GOLD STANDARD!wait, they just want on welfare? i thought they wanted to steal our jobs? Those two REALLY don't seem to mix.
Nevada.I agree. It needs to be made easier. And we need to do away with that stupid fucking history test until more than half of Americans can pass it themselves.
What's the capital of West Carolina?
btw, you sold your HDDVDs w/o me. :'(
