Just Two Thoughts

This opinion piece is my opinion alone, and does not necessarily represent the views of blogspot.or google.com

  

[[[ As a Constitutional Republican and NOT a Conservative Republican (and yes there is a difference), I believe that the bro-ha-ha over "anchor babies" has been made way more complicated and divisive than it should or need be. Why so...because the U.S. Constitution clearly defines who is and is not an American citizen in Section 1 of the Fourteenth Amendment (ratified in 1968) as in, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and the State wherein they reside."  

 

The Constitution says NOTHING about "anchor babies" being non-citizens just because their parents came here illegally or that innocent children should be punished...as in deported...for something that their parents did.

 

Simply, if a child was born on American soil no matter the circumstances of their birth, I do believe they should get to legally stay here, as per the Constitution, if they're old enough to make that decision for themselves or if their parents...who still rightfully can be legally deported...decide to place said child either with family members here legally, or place said child into the "system" where they can be fostered or adopted especially if the parents reason for coming here (even if done so illegally) was to give their child a chance at a better life, and was NOT a "gimmee-gimmee" free ride decision. ]]]

[[[ Also, in regards to who can or cannot vote in U.S. elections that is also clearly laid out in the Constitution, one only has to look to the Fifteenth Amendment, Section 1, which clearly states that, "the right of citizens (notice the word citizens) of the United States shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." 

Simply, if one is NOT a citizen one cannot vote...no ifs, ands, or buts...it really is that simple. ]]]                                                                                                                    copyright @ 2026 Diane Sori / The Patriot Factor / All Rights Reserved.
