quote:

I am introducing a Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship.

Under current interpretations of American law, anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a U.S. citizen, regardless of whether the parent was here legally or not. This is wrong and not at all the intent of those who wrote the 14th Amendment.

We are a country filled with immigrants, and legal immigration is valuable and should be protected. But we are also a country whose borders have been too open and our generosity exploited too often. President Trump has moved to seal our border from illegal immigrants more than any other president.

But we will have more to do.

We need to make sure that only children born to legal residents of the U.S. are automatically citizens. I have supported protecting birthright citizenship from abuse since the beginning of my tenure in the Senate, when I cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011, and now I am proposing an amendment to protect United States citizenship in case the Supreme Court fails to address this issue correctly.

Rand doing his best to protect birthright citizenship. He is simply trying to be cute and let SCOTUS feel Congress will manage it.

Rand Paul introduces Constitutional Amendment to end Birthright Citizenship.

And only a fricking retard on the Poli Board could read that and come to this conclusion:

the country is FAR too divided to ever get any Constitutional Amendment to fully pass by either side

This country was completely divided when the 14th was passed.

even if it passes a 2/3s Congress, good luck getting it ratified by the states.

I did not realize the game foreigners were playing coming over for birthing vacation to get the citizenship for the child and then going back home. This was especially eyeopening for the rich Chinese knocking up baby mommas and sending them over to birth.

The analysis I heard post hearing didn't sound like SCOTUS will strike it down. That's just reading tea leaves, but an amendment is the ideal way to fix it. It'd be a very heavy lift to get it all passed I'm afraid. On it's surface, I like that someone is trying. I'm sure there are more strings and politics involved than meets the eye. Always is
