Citizenship should be earned, and the peoples of the world should join our country only if they have something to offer in terms of educational attainment, wealth or occupational skills.
I don't care what caste, color, or creed you are from, but you should not be American just because your mother dropped her load here on our shores. What do you bring to the table here? If you are productive and pay taxes like the rest of us, good on you, but if you suck the social entitlement coffers dry and pollute our prisons, get the hell out!
And we have these true idiots who complain about the President's birth certificate? Birthers should be concerned about the trash of the world having their children here to solidify US citizenship for entire families!
That is the greatest failure of our Constitution and it has destroyed our society from within. I'm out, and good luck with this country as it deteriorates.
I tend to agree with your rant. The problem is the media never ask the right questions. If America is in decline, Mexico is in decline x2. Not a rich country to start with, their oil is drying up. NAFTA destroyed whatever middle-class farming existed in Mexico and put heavy tariffs on products made in Mexico in some cases to protect industries here. This is the main driver of Mexicans and other Latinos into America. I agree that citizenship should only be given to children of at least one parent who is a citizen. This is how it works in much of Europe. If I have a child with a German woman for example, the child is American as long as I sign the birth certificate. If both your parents are say Mexican, then your child born in America is not automatically American. That is wrong...

ReplyDeleteWhile in principle the above is a sensible policy the problem is who is decide and grade the individuals who might acquire citizenship in this fashion, the government? If the latter then one is marching toward a destructive road. It would be of course preferable to look toward something other than government to achieve this. Ideas?
No view to express on this one, but i notice the picture is of an Australian certificate.
ReplyDeleteThere is something that we are all born with " the virtue of birth"! If you believe that one should not be given citizenship based on birth, then one should other receive other per-ques of birth like your parents riches!
