Sorry Illegals, The 14th Amendment Is For Me, But Not For Thee

POTUS is considering an Executive Order that would deny citizenship to anchor babies born on American soil to women who are not US citizens. The libs are going nuts over this proposed EO and it will most likely get shipped to the Supreme Court if issued.

Sen. Jacob Howard

However, the author of the 14th Amendment (adopted on July 9, 1868) was Senator Jacob M. Howard of Michigan, and he stated the purpose of this Amendment; it had nothing to do with illegal aliens. It applied solely to slaves who had been recently freed under the 13th Amendment.

Unfortunately for liberals, it was only for granting citizenship to recently freed African slaves, not foreigners. In fact, it didn’t even include Native Americans.

Howard wrote “that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.”

Stopping the flow of illegal immigration used to be a bipartisan issue.

I will be introducing legislation to deal with the issue of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants -- in a prospective manner -- as I have always contended it has become a magnet for illegal immigration in modern times.

— Lindsey Graham (@LindseyGrahamSC) October 30, 2018

Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee Chuck Grassley, who has been working on illegal immigration and visa issues for years, believes the Amendment should be reconsidered saying, “The United States welcomes immigrants from all over the world who pursue the legal options available to them to seek permanent residence or citizenship in our country. Birthright citizenship for the children of permanent resident immigrants under the Fourteenth Amendment is settled law, as decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in United States v. Wong Kim Ark," Grassley released in a statement Tuesday afternoon. "There is a debate among legal scholars about whether that right extends to the children of illegal immigrants. I will closely review President Trump’s executive order. As a general matter, this is an issue that Congress should take the lead to carefully consider and debate.” 

Mysterious Incident On Our Southern Border

Overnight, thousands of aliens seeking entrance to the US suddenly disappeared.  The illegal immigrant caravan is gone but in its place Border Patrol Agents found this mysterious artifice. Federal authorities are debating whether or not to transport it into El Paso. 

Mean Tweets: Ted Cruz Edition

Like many of you out there I have not settled on the presidential candidate for whom I would cast my vote in the general election next November. 

I noticed during Tuesday’s debate from Las Vegas that as Ayla Brown sang the national anthem, Ted Cruz placed in his hand inside his suit jacket  That image reminded me of the famous portrait by Jacques-Louis David of Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte with his hand inside his waistcoat.  Does Mr. Cruz do this often?  I don’t know but I found that to be an odd display.

Rubio has been radioactive to Republicans because of his participation in the Gang of Eight movement to allow amnesty for illegal aliens. Beneath the surface is a simmering battle between Rubio and Cruz on the matter of immigration.

With Cruz coming into his own in Iowa, Rubio is desperate to knock him off his game.  Having ducked the question for nearly two years about what a President Cruz would do with the millions of illegals who remain in the U.S., Rubio demanded a straight answer from Cruz.

"I have never supported legalization, and I do not intend to support legalization," the Texas senator said, but he was more than willing to leave reporters with the impression that he was comfortable with legalizing illegal aliens.

Cruz last night: "I have never supported legalization." But he has, and it's on tape: https://t.co/tfZwZfi2zB #FactCheck

Cruz, usually a very fluid speaker, struggling to give direct answers to answering tough/fair immigration questions from @BretBaier.

In interview w/@BretBaier, Ted Cruz denying that he wanted immigration reform to pass despite saying in 2013 that he wanted bill to pass.

I hate the slick, oily way Ted Cruz lies to me. I far prefer the hopeful, optimistic way Marco Rubio lies to me.

Why Wasn’t He Deported? A Mother’s Furious Letter To The President

Mary Ann Mendoza, mother of an off-duty police officer who was killed by a wrong-way illegal immigrant driver, has written a furious letter to President Obama demanding to know why the man was not deported after being convicted of a crime.

Her son, Sgt. Brandon Mendoza, had been driving home from work on May 12 when Raul Silva-Corona smashed into him after driving the wrong way along freeways for 35 miles.

Police received 33 911 calls as he sped along the Loop 101 Freeway, down State Route 51 and eventually to the I-10/US 60 interchange before hitting Mendoza on a freeway ramp.  Silva-Corona’s blood alcohol content was 0.24 percent on the night of the crash.

Mendoza, a beloved 13-year veteran of the Mesa Police force, was taken to an area hospital in critical condition and later died.

Via The Arizona Republic is her impassioned letter verbatim:

President Obama, 

I am writing this letter to you regarding illegal immigrants. 

As a tax paying, law abiding citizen of the United States, I WANT my voice heard on this issue. My son, Sergeant Brandon Mendoza, an officer who was with the City of Mesa, Arizona police department, was killed in a tragic head on collision on May 12, 2014 by a wrong way driver on our freeways. This man happened to be an illegal immigrant, was in this country illegally, convicted of previous crimes, no Social Security number, no valid driver's license BUT he had purchased a vehicle and registered it to drive in Maricopa County Arizona.

I had my son's life STOLEN from me by a man who didn't value his life, was 3X the legal limit drunk, was high on Meth, drove for over 35 miles THE WRONG WAY on 4 different freeways and had NO BUSINESS BEING IN THIS COUNTRY!!!

The Federal Government knew he, Raul Silva Corona, was an illegal immigrant when he was convicted on crimes in 1994 in Colorado.  The prosecutors were "lenient" on him and several charges were dismissed.  When he was convicted of these crimes and 1994 and the government knew he was in the country illegally, why wasn't he deported? Why are any of these illegal criminals in this country??

I am furious that the Federal Government allowed this criminal to stay in this country and KILL my son!  I have attached several articles for you to PERSONALLY read about my son. He was an Icon with the City of Mesa Police Department. He was instrumental in making life better for people of all walks of life in the park project he took on.  He was humble, selfless, worked many hours off the clock helping disadvantaged children and often used his own money to do things for the community, including "adopting" children at Christmas to provide them with gifts…out of his own money!! 

I have attached numerous articles for you to read about my son. This was not a life that should have been taken so early. The good he was doing in our community is remarkable, the difference he made in people's lives is amazing and the comfort he brought people in friendship was unmeasurable.

All you have to do is Google “Sgt/Officer Brandon Mendoza" and you will have plenty of reading material about my wonderful son who had just passed his Sergeant's exam to become a Sgt. The Chief of Police posthumously promoted him during the week of his funeral but that highlight of his life was stolen from him!!!  He was officer of the year last year. Officer of the quarter for the first quarter of 2014. He was only 32 years old and had done more in his life than most of us have done in a lifetime!

I am going to have my voice heard and I want to you to know what my personal feeling is on whether CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS should be allowed in this country.  I have been DIRECTLY affected by this.  I am sure if your life had been affected like mine has been, you would have a different view of this situation. I have lived in Arizona most of my life. My son, Brandon Mendoza, was half Hispanic.  It's not the color of skin that my son or I see, it's the person and how they conduct their lives.  If you can't enter this country legally then you shouldn't be here.  If you commit crimes, you should pay the time any of us as US Citizens would have to serve.  Letting these illegal criminals out of our jails before their time is served and turning them loose on the streets to commit further crimes and KILL our loved ones is NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ME!!  AND it shouldn't be acceptable to any US Citizen.  Mr. President, you don't have the right to make this decision yourself…I have a say, even if it is for one moment.  Maybe that one moment will light a spark with another citizen who can then light a candle, who can then light a bonfire, who can then light a city up and so on.  My light has just been lit and I am not going to back down when so many of these illegal immigrants have more rights than we do.  My son's death will not be ignored as another statistic.

I want laws to change that would not allow illegal immigrants to purchase vehicles in our country and register them to drive them in our states WITHOUT having driver's licenses to drive them legally.  How is this happening???  I want laws changed that will force the removal of illegal immigrants who break our laws.  This man, this repeated law breaker, was allowed to be released and he continued breaking the laws in our country until what????  UNTIL HE WAS STOPPED BY MY SON IN A HEAD ON COLLISION THAT NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!!!  HE KILLED AN OFFICER OF THE LAW AS HIS LAST ACT!!!  When are you going to see the flip side to this issue?  When will you realize the hurt and pain and destruction these illegal immigrants who break the law will continue to cause????  Until you live in a state that deals with this on a daily basis, you will not understand it.

I want answers that make sense.  I want answers from you personally as to why this criminal was allowed to stay in our country until he took my son's life.

Sincerely,

Mary Ann Mendoza

Dora And The Diffident Ditherer

During the five-and-a-half years of his parade of horribles The World’s Most Dangerous Community Organizer has attended 400 fundraisers and played 180 rounds of golf to date.

Today, David Limbaugh opined that, “Everything Obama does is about politics. If he weren't endlessly raising money for his hyperpartisan Democratic Party, he wouldn't have even bothered to fly to Texas in the first place. His entire approach to the immigration issue is to fast-track as many illegals as he can, with the long-term goal of turning the country permanently blue, which happens to be a political, not humanitarian, motivation. Obama is so thoroughly political that commentators can't even discuss Obama without focusing on the ‘optics’. Would it be that hard for them to assess, just once, whether he's doing the right thing?”

The Los Angeles Times reported Sunday that the number of immigrants under age 18 who were deported or turned away at ports of entry has fallen dramatically—from 8,143 in 2008 to 1,669 last year—according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement data.

There are thousands of illegal immigrant children who have crossed our southern border.  Nate Beeler, political cartoonist for the Columbus Dispatch created a powerful image of the invasion.  The cartoon depicts the president standing in the desert.  In front of him are two cacti and between them is a baby gate marked “Immigration Policy”.  Walking around the baby gate are children carrying their ditty bags.  Sweet Jesus, if that doesn’t tell the story of this crisis nothing does, that is unless you are aware that he travelled to Denver and played pool, drank beer, shook hands with a man wearing a horse head mask and was offered a toke from someone’s doobie.

There are reports of rampant disease including swine flu, dengue fever, Ebola virus and tuberculosis, of rape and violence targeting the underage illegals now warehoused along our borders.

Worse still is the mortifying report from Judicial Watch that the two most feared street gangs, Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) and the 18th Street Gang, are on a recruiting frenzy at the various facilities housing the newly arrived illegal aliens.

The UACs (unaccompanied children) are not all little children despite what the mainstream media insists on reporting.  Many are in their late teens who are “soldiers” for the aforementioned gangs that espouse drug distribution, murder, rape, robbery, home invasions, kidnappings, vandalism and a whole host of other violent crimes.

In a flagrant bit of showboating, Nancy Pelosi visited Brownsville, TX to preach to America that we should welcome the transformation of America into a mongrel nation.

Speaking to the assembled poodles of the press Pelosi remarked, "What we just saw was so stunning, if you believe as we do, that every child, every person, has the spark of divinity in them, and is therefore worthy of respect, what we saw in those rooms was a dazzling, sparkling array of God's children, worthy of respect."

Yes Nancy, MS-13 and the 18th Street Gang are a dazzling, sparkling array of God’s children.  You don’t have a clue honey.

Whether or not you live in a border state, or a state where these illegal unaccompanied minors are being brought to a temporary facility, this issue touches all Americans.

The media has been asleep at the wheel on this issue either due to their own personal politics on illegal immigration or their loyalty to this president who prevents them from reporting the truth.

A Congressional Research Service report (page 10) dated June 26, 2012 shows that U.S. financial aid to El Salvador was 41.8M.  Guatemala received 93.6M and Honduras received 58.2M in 2013.  These countries comprise the “Northern Triangle” of Central America.  These are the countries from which the vast majority of the fleeing UACs are coming.

Ralphie May: Too Big to Ignore
Get More: Watch More Stand-Up.

UPDATE:  This post has been updated to reflect the correct number of golf games played by this president to 180 instead of the 176 originally noted.
