PHOENIX — Republican lawmakers in 15 states Tuesday announced a nationwide effort to change the way the 14th Amendment is interpreted and stop granting citizenship to babies born in the USA to illegal immigrants.

A national coalition called State Legislators for Legal Immigration is coordinating the effort.

Arizona state Sen. Russell Pearce said Kansas lawyer Kris Kobach, who helped draft Arizona’s tough immigration law now on appeal in the federal courts, is working with him and Republican state Rep. John Kavanagh to draft a bill that all the states could use as a model on the citizenship issue.

Pearce said a bill draft is written and will be ready for consideration when the Arizona legislative session starts in January.

GOP group challenges outright citizenship birthright

The 14th Amendment, long argued and much abused.

The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868 as one of the Reconstruction Amendments.

Its Citizenship Clause provides a broad definition of citizenship that overruled the decision in Dred Scott v. Sandford (1857), which held that blacks could not be citizens of the United States. SOURCE

Therein lies the problem. The 14th Amendment was designed to do one thing but has now been bastardized by the ‘open borders’ and ‘blanket amnesty’ crowd as a way to legitimize what are now called anchor babies.

Regardless the views of those that would give this nation away, the 14th was put into place to specifically help those former slaves who were in this nation not by their own choosing and had become the parents of children born into slavery in the United States. The 14th was their road to legitimacy and affirmation as Americans.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

At the time those words were written, the persons doing that writing had no way to comprehend the full ramifications of their actions. They had NO conception of what lengths ILLEGALS would go to in order to have a baby born on U.S. soil, done so only to give that parent an opportunity to hopefully stay in this nation, based on that birth, and then allow that parent to further abuse the rights and privileges reserved for an American citizen, and to abuse the health care, welfare and educational system of this nation in order to support these anchor babies.

All the while, raising those anchor babies in the culture of the parents homeland, and not as an America 1st immigrant that goes on to become a good, useful and productive citizen.

In 1898, the Supreme Court ruled that the U.S.-born son of an immigrant Chinese couple become a citizen at birth under the 14th Amendment despite the fact that at the time his parents were ineligible for citizenship. That ruling has been interpreted to apply to all children born in the United States.

Look at the date of this SCOTUS ruling. The year was 1898. The United States was still a nation in the process of being built and populated. The SCOTUS of that day and time couldn’t have had any way to imagine the situation the USA faces in the year 2010. They wouldn’t believe the abuses that our constitution has suffered.

They would have declared WAR if the USA were being invaded then as it is now.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am NOT against immigration, nor am I against granting citizenship to those that immigrate to America, as long as they do so legally and EARN it!

I have stated, on numerous occasions, I am the grandson of a Canadian immigrant. Had he not come to Texas in 1919, and then married and raised a family in the USA, I would be a French speaking Canuck in far N.E. Canada.

That is NOT a pretty picture in MY mind.

The point is, my grandfather became an American, he spoke English, he worked, he paid taxes and he and my grandmother raised an American family. My grandfather was proud of his roots, his Canadian roots, but he was also proud of this nation, and he was an American, NOT a hyphen American, just an American.

He instilled that pride in his children, as they did in MY generation, and as we have done our best to instill that pride into our own children and grand children.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama wants his administration to focus harder on improving Hispanic educational achievement.

At the White House on Tuesday, Obama is signing an executive order intended to do just that.

Obama says improving education will help the U.S. compete in a growing global economy. The order is supposed to help communities share best practices, strengthen public-private partnerships and ensure that federal programs meet the needs of Latino youths and adults. The order also establishes a government-wide working group and a separate presidential advisory commission.

The signing comes two weeks before crucial midterm elections in which Obama is counting on Hispanics to vote Democratic on Nov. 2.

Obama seeks to boost Hispanic achievement

The last line of the original story says it all. The Race Baiter in Chief is playing the RACE CARD in a slightly different manner, that’s all. Obama is pandering to Hispanics for their votes in an attempt to save his failed regime from crashing in flames.

And he is using racial issues in his pandering.

Recently, in THIS THREAD, comment #8 to be precise, I, and my readers were called “pointless and stupid (and frankly ignorant).” We were told that we ‘ lower ourselves.’ because we said our piece regarding Hussein Obama, his wife, his former pastor and the continued racism that flows from the White House.

We were told to, “Attack is [sic] freakin policies, not his skin, or you’re worse than him. Shame on this thread.”.

What making that comment did was point out how the racism of Obama and Company is not an issue for him, the comment maker. His issues are more focused on other matters dealing with *policy*.

That’s all well and good, and quite correct, but the RACISM of Obama and Company is one of the most important issues we face. White Americans are rapidly becoming the newest *minority* in the nation, and WE are blamed, by Obama and Company, for everything that is wrong with America.

Sounds like the *Blame Bush* mantra doesn’t it?

This blog has long dealt with the policy side of issues. I have gone HARD CORE on George Bush, Obama, all presidents before them as necessary, and any other Congressman, Senator or public figure that happened to stray from America 1st and Conservatism in MY opinion.

I will continue to do so in the future.

There is something that this particular comment maker missed I am guessing.

Constructive commentary is welcome, even commentary that is in disagreement with my position is welcome, as long as it is presented in a reasonable and sane manner, but be advised, no one will be allowed to comment here that comes into this blog and attempts to attack ME, MY beliefs, MY family, MY readers or members of the U.S. Military and/or Law Enforcement.

If you do, you will be BANNED, it’s just that simple. SOURCE

That name calling, “stupid (and frankly ignorant).” is an attack.

Just because a certain post doesn’t mesh with your thoughts, that doesn’t give you, or anyone else for that matter, carte blanche to come in here and call names.

Barack Hussein Obama WILL be taken to task here, on ALL fronts, that’s the good thing about having my own blog. I don’t have to post to suit anyone other than myself! And if a reader doesn’t like what I post, they can present a sane and logical rebuttal. If they aren’t capable of that action, they can leave, or I can help them along and force them to leave.

I am NOT looking for an “Amen Pew” here, discourse makes the blog a lot more interesting, but if you have something to say HERE, make it something that you wouldn’t hesitate to say to my face. Present it in an acceptable manner, otherwise, do us ALL a favor and just leave.

First Amendment rights do NOT extend to comment makers, just to make that clear, I am the only one that has FULL First Amendment protection on this site.

Comment makers are here as guests, and as such, are subject to the very few rules of this blog. Calling me and/or my readers names places you in direct violation OF those few, and very easy to follow rules.

If you have a complaint regarding the content or management of this blog you may register your complaint with the owner: TexasFred@texasfred.com.

I’ll probably just laugh at you, and if I respond at all it will be to tell you thanks for your concern regarding the way I run MY blog.

That’s the way I roll.

WASHINGTON (AP) – Republican Senate nominee Christine O’Donnell of Delaware is calling out the Republican establishment in Washington for not helping her underdog campaign.

In an interview on ABC’s “This Week” that aired Sunday, the tea party favorite said she has asked the National Republican Senatorial Committee for help but that the group is standing on the sidelines even though her Democratic rival, Chris Coons, is getting a boost from his party.

A spokesman for the Republican committee, Brian Walsh, has noted that the group gave O’Donnell the maximum direct contribution of $42,000 and is working with her campaign.

The committee is not spending heavily on ads as it is in closer races elsewhere. Polls show Coons with a strong lead.

O’Donnell says GOP establishment not helping her

Maybe she can cast a spell and make the GOP get behind her.

What? Just sayin’…

Seriously, I know we ALL did, and said things in our youth that we wish we hadn’t, but like the guy that throws the pitch that gets knocked out of the park, you just know that O’Donnell wishes she had that one about witchcraft and the Satanic altar date back.

But you’ve got to admit, O’Donnell has spunk, and she’s not backing down either.

O’Donnell calls Coons a Marxist in Del. debate

Delaware Senate candidates Christine O’Donnell and Chris Coons tangled with each other over taxes, Afghanistan, whether he’s a Marxist and whether she’s a deadbeat in a combative 90-minute debate that also veered into evolution, abortion, religion and gay rights.

Democrat Coons, the New Castle County executive, and Republican O’Donnell, a conservative activist and national celebrity since her Tea Party-powered primary victory over veteran Rep. Mike Castle, started right off trading insults. He said she supports failed economic policies and extreme education positions, and prefers “partisan bickering” over compromise and solutions. She said voters should choose him if they think their government is too small, their taxes are too low and they want a rubber stamp for President Obama’s failing economic policies.

The moderators – CNN’s Wolf Blitzer and Delaware public television anchor Nancy Karibjanian – did their part to make sure no sore subject went unmentioned. In the case of O’Donnell, that meant her personal finances and past TV appearances in which she has talked about subjects like masturbation (equivalent to adultery) and witchcraft (she dabbled in it long ago).

Karibjanian noted an IRS tax lien against O’Donnell for about $12,000 in taxes and penalties from 2005, a 2008 mortgage default judgment on her home, and the bachelor’s degree the 41-year-old candidate received this year “because it took a decade to pay off the tuition. The question, then, is how can voters rely upon your thoughts on how to manage the deficit if you’re having such personal financial issues of your own?”

O’Donnell calls Coons a Marxist in Del. debate

I honestly have to say, I haven’t kept up with this race. I don’t know anything about Coons, I know little about O’Donnell other than what the media has put out there.

Maybe Coons really is a Marxist, maybe O’Donnell really is a witch, all I know is this, if Christine O’Donnell is the best the GOP could come up with, if the guy she beat was so pathetic that O’Donnell took him down, the GOP in Delaware is in deep poo-poo.

If I had a chance to interview O’Donnell, this is how it might go…

TexasFred, ‘Christine, are you a Good Witch or a Bad Witch?’

O’Donnell, ‘I’m not a witch at all. I’m an Irish-Italian Roman Catholic from Moorestown, New Jersey, and I never made it to ‘full fledged’ witch, I only dabbled in witchcraft, that’s not like being Samantha or Endora or anything. And Sarah Palin thinks I’m just peachy keen and that I’ll make a great running mate in 2012 by golly, you betcha I will doggone it!’

TexasFred, ‘So, tell us, WHY would Palin think you’re a good choice as HER running mate in 2012?’

The election of the first black president in U.S. history was supposed to usher in a post-racial era in America.

But a series of controversies since then, from the White House “Beer Summit” to the conflicts between the tea party and NAACP, shows that race is still a hot-button issue.

“As a society, clearly we’re not over race,” said Hettie V. Williams, lecturer in the African American History Department at Monmouth University.

Unlike the racial disturbances of the 1960s and ’70s, the race-related controversies of the past two years have, for the most part, played out over the airwaves and across the blogosphere, not on the streets of America’s cities.

Race remains hot topic despite Obama presidency

Race DOES remain a HOT TOPIC…for the RACE BAITERS.

That, my friends, is the face of a MAD MAN, an America hating MAD MAN that isn’t white, isn’t black, isn’t even believed by many to even be an American.

It’s obvious, he doesn’t fit into any particular world, White or Black. That degree of confusion and mental strife is more than enough to make Hussein Obama the biggest racist and race baiter in America.

Because of his very misplaced feelings, because of his mixed race, because he is doubted as being an American, because he feels that he has to KILL America to prove that he is of at least some worth, I am convinced that the REAL racist, and the biggest reason for continued racial divide in America is Hussein Obama himself.

A few quotes from Hussein Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:

That hate hadn’t gone away…white people — some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” — Dreams Of My Father

“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out, many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs. . . It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” — Dreams of My Father

“I found solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievances and animosity against my mother’s race.” — Dreams of My Father

“The emotion between the races could never be pure….. the THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART” — Dreams of my Father

“I began to notice that Cosby never got the girl on I Spy, that the black man on Mission Impossible spent all his time underground. I noticed that there was nobody like me in the Sears, Roebuck Christmas catalog that Toot and Gramps sent us, and that Santa was a white man. I kept these observations to myself, deciding that either my mother didn’t see them or she was trying to protect me and that I shouldn’t expose her efforts as having failed.” — Dreams of my Father

“No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.” — Dreams of my Father

There’s more, but that was all I could take and not lose my lunch.
