Dear Orly: Just wish to comment about the so-called anchor baby laws in Canada. Our Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper with the assistance of the majority Conservative House of Commons (like your Congress in the US) repealed all the anchor baby laws in 2012. As such, in the entire world it is only the United States that continue to allow (future Democrats)illegal aliens to use their babies to remain in the country. In Canada, we have our own version of illegals and its a real burden on our economy. We only have 200 exhausted deportation officers for all of Canada who are unable to catch up to all the illegals swarming in our country. We have government lawyers who assist these criminal illegals on how to by-pass our laws and remain in the country for years by repeated appeals, all at the expense of the taxpayer! Best wishes Orly, you are a brave Lady and I have a lot of respect for you. |
The government argued in US v Meza-Rodrigues that illegal aliens are not part of “the people”, not part of the “political community” in the US and as such 2 and 4 amendments of the Constitution do not apply to them. The courts are divided on the matter, however, this argument might apply to US born children of the illegal alien, who inherit foreign citizenship based on the citizenship of their parents and as such not eligible to automatic US citizenship. See excerpt from the article below.
On the surface, a federal appeals court’s decision in United States v. Meza-Rodriguez concerns a fairly narrow issue — whether “unauthorized non-U.S. citizens within our borders” enjoy Second Amendment gun rights. Should the Supreme Court ultimately conclude that undocumented immigrants do not enjoy these rights, however, that decision could severely harm their ability to remain free from harassment by police. Hidden just one level below the surface in Meza-Rodriguezis the question of whether “the right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures,” which is protected by the Constitution’s Fourth Amendment, applies to undocumented immigrants at all.
Like the Fourth Amendment, the Second Amendment refers to a right that belongs to “the people” — “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.” In Meza-Rodriguez, the Justice Department argued that an undocumented immigrant charged with violating a federal law forbidding him from possessing a firearm is not part of “the people” who benefit from this Second Amendment right. Undocumented immigrants, this argument goes, are not “members of the political community,” and thus cannot be understood as part of “the people” as those words are used in the Constitution.
If this argument ultimately prevails, it will have profound ripple effects that extend far beyond the subject of guns. As mentioned above, the Fourth Amendment also refers to a right belonging to “the people,” so if that term does not include undocumented immigrants, their rights to be free from abusive police tactics could be severely curtailed. Similarly, the First Amendment refers to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” Those rights could also potentially be stripped from undocumented immigrants if the Justice Department’s arguments prevail.
In Meza-Rodriguez, the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit did not side with the Justice Department’s arguments, but that places them alone among the federal appeals courts that have considered this issue. As Judge Diane Wood explains in her opinion for the court, the Fourth, Fifth and Eighth Circuits have all agreed that, at least for Second Amendment purposes, undocumented immigrants are not part of “the people.” At least one of these courts, the conservative Fifth Circuit, also cast a cloud of doubt over whether the Fourth Amendment “extends to a native and citizen of another nation who entered and remained in the United States illegally.”https://thinkprogress.org/justice/2015/08/21/3693788/gun-rights-win-a-major-victory-in-federal-court-and-thats-actually-a-good-thing/?ref=yfp

Canada also has a problem in that foreigners here on an overextended US VISA drive across unmonitored areas of the US/Canadian border and then ask for asylum there…often granted.
Perhaps it is not that we should not have a NEW or Rescinded Law, but that our CURRENT LAW is INADEQUATELY, INCORRECTLY and WANTONLY applied to benefit of lawbreakers and detriment to the Nation.
The question: Who PROMOTES this flawed interpretation, who CLOSES their eyes to it, WHO teaches it incorrectly, and WHO is too COWARDLY to enforce it correctly?
Trump and others do NOT need to genuflect to Bill O’Reilly who says it has all been settled by the SUPREME COURT.
If US v WONG KIM ARK (1898) stipulates PERMANENT DOMICILE and CARRYING OUT BUSINESS for citizenship to be granted, then ILLEGALS were NEVER PART of the AMENDMENT. This practice was “OBAMA” before OBAMA was even born…….somewhere!

Our US immigration system of laws is not “broken”, it is simply faithfully neglected by those in positions of authority.
Our nation is being invaded during an undeclared emergency 2008- 2015= Illegal presIDent Soetoro-Obama’s Reign of Error.
SOLUTION TO THE US IMMIGRATION PROBLEM:
1. ARREST SOETORO-OBAMA FOR CHEER-LEADING NATIONAL LAWLESSNESS AND FUN-DA-MENTALLY TRASHING AMERICA VIA MONKEY BUSINESS
2. CEASE ALL IMMIGRATION AND IMPORTATION OF FOREIGN NATIONALS; CEASE “ANCHOR BABIES” CITIZENSHIP; DEPORT ILLEGALS BACK TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN; CEASE “CATCH-AND-RELEASE”
3. BUILD “US WALL OF SOVERIGNTY” ALONG 2,000 MILE US-MEXICO BORDER AND MAN IT WITH US ARMED FORCES; SHOOT TO KILL EXCESSIVELY WARNED TRESSPASSERS
But all these common sense measures above will never happen as long as our BABY BOOMER leaders (Barry, Boehner, Dempsey, O’Reilly et al) continue to act as PC BOOMER BABIES (and languish America in a childish nanny-tyranny), or until Congress passes “mandatory common sense”, or until the Obamas’ WHITE HOUSE OF MONKEYS is no longer funded by Boehner’s US HOUSE OF MONEYS!
DEFUND OBAMA = DEFUND LAWLESSNESS
