TAKE ACTION - HELP FIX THE 14TH AMENDMENT

One of the main problems in regards to the illegal invasion - maybe THE main problem - is that illegals have used a loophole in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution to justify an invasion of American soil.

The 14th Amendment - a provision enacted right after the Civil War in order to make children of slaves American citizens - has been hijacked by illegal invaders, and has been (wrongly) interpreted to mean that "any foreigner sneaky enough to get into the country can plop out a baby (or 6) - and immediately become the parent of an American Citizen - thereby making it very difficult to remove them." The illegals know this; why else would so many pregnant women make the dangerous trip across the border?

There have been efforts made over the years to clarify the Amendment to erase the ambiguity, and the latest such effort is H.R. 1940, and here it is, in its entirety...

A BILL

To amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007'.

SEC. 2. CITIZENSHIP AT BIRTH FOR CERTAIN PERSONS BORN IN THE UNITED STATES.

(a) In General- Section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1401) is amended--

(1) by inserting `(a) IN GENERAL- ' before `The following';

(2) by redesignating paragraphs (a) through (h) as paragraphs (1) through (8); and

(3) by adding at the end the following:

`(b) Definition- Acknowledging the right of birthright citizenship established by section 1 of the 14th amendment to the Constitution, a person born in the United States shall be considered `subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States for purposes of subsection (a)(1) if the person is born in the United States of parents, one of whom is--

`(1) a citizen or national of the United States;

`(2) an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States whose residence is in the United States; or

`(3) an alien performing active service in the armed forces (as defined in section 101 of title 10, United States Code).'.

(b) Applicability- The amendment made by subsection (a)(3) shall not be construed to affect the citizenship or nationality status of any person born before the date of the enactment of this Act.

Simple, no?

Unfortunately, many past efforts have never got off the ground. And you can look around you and see the results.

So here's what you can do...

1) Sign the petition in support of H.R. 1940

2) Write your representatives and ask them to support this and all other measures to clarify the 14th Amendment and bring an end to the "anchor baby" problem. It has done too much damage already.
