Eric Cantor says undocumented
children should be offered citizenship

Yahoo News, by Liz Goodwin

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 2/5/2013 6:49:10 PM

House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., said on Tuesday that the children of illegal immigrants should be granted a path to citizenship, providing a clue about how the GOP-controlled House may tackle immigration reform this year. "A good place to start is with the kids," Cantor said during his speech at the American Enterprise Institute. "One of the great founding principles of our country was that children would not be punished for the mistakes of their parents. It is time to provide an opportunity for legal residence and citizenship for those who were brought to this

Comments:
Well this should give you a really bad feeling about what will happen on the House side on immigration. On Fox tonight Cantor said "children who were brought here due to no fault of their own" which IIRC is the exact Democrat talking point we have heard over and over again. We´re going to get hosed again and the Republicans are too stupid to figure that out. I´m terribly discouraged.

Illegal alien children should be given/offered citizenship? Why?


Reply 2 - Posted by: IdahoJoe, 2/5/2013 6:54:20 PM     (No. 9160564)

If illegal alien children are offered citizenship, they will bring along their parents, meaning all illegals that brought children are rewarded with a greencard or citizenship

It´s simple. They need to be offered citizenship so that their parents will be related to a citizen and then eligible for citizenship.../s

Wouldn´t that be considered ill-gotten gains?
If a father robs a bank, do the children get to keep the money, even if their father is caught?
This is a very stupid idea. These children are already being educated with us paying the bill. Stop rewarding lawbreaking.

They will still never vote Republican, this is party suicide! Even if Republicans open the border, buy their transportation here and give them citizenship they will NEVER vote Republican. They are used to living as a subject with the government taking care of them, they aren´t interested in personal responsibility or limited government. I´m so sick of the Republican Party and I´m a registered Independant!

Isn´t it true that being born in the US makes you a citizen? The question is then about children brought into the county by their parents. They did not, themselves, violate the law. So, you want to deport some high school student who never lived in Mexico, doesn´t speak Spanish, and believes that America is home? Ok, I know the story, but I really think that deportation is the wrong approach.

So 14 - you should reward them for breaking our laws? I think we should make life difficult enough that they self-deport. And should go to the back of the line to immigrate legally if at all.

What is my impetus for not breaking the law if I can just wait it out?

So sick and tired of the politicians pandering to the illegals. No wonder the illegals and their baby illegals have a sense of entitlement as to the subject of citizenship. Its not fair to those who stood in line and waited their turn at citizenship! All illegal aliens need to return to their home country and do it the legal way after paying a huge fee for breaking the law. These illegals need to go now!!

I just don´t understand.
Illegals come across and spit out a baby and steal our jobs.
How do the libs and politicians react?
They reward the illegals with welfare, free schooling, tax rebates on taxes they never paid, free medical care and write official documents in spanish.

muslims crash fuel-filled airline bombs into buildings and kill thousands of innocents. How do the libs and politicians react?
They reward the terrorists with the freedom to worship their cult, bend over in submission, refuse to call terrorist attacks terrorist attacks and demand we banish Christianity from America.

So very sad.

How about this, children get citizenship but their parents and all of their relatives are not eligible for citizenship. The children get to stay but the parents must come forward for deportation immediately.

The Stupid Party would be setting one heck of a legal precedent if they granted US citizenship to minor illegal aliens just because they were smuggled into the country or were brought here by their illegal alien parents. Once they start to do that, they will encourage a new wave of illegal aliens to come here and bring their children as the Democrats will never allow the Stupid Party to phase out that law.

Once you grant a minor illegal alien child US citizenship, who is then going to have custody of them until they reach the age of majority? Of course it will be their illegal alien parents who then must be given some sort of immigration status (amnesty) to take care of their newly made US citizen child. If those parents have eight other minor foreign born children they will also get to stay here and also be given US citizenship. Then all can go on public assistance and live happily ever after. Since Mexico is loaded with children all their parents would have to do is bring them into the USA, where they will be granted US citizenship and the entire family gets to stay. If the US is going to do that they should just take down the borderline, lay off all the border control agencies, and just let all of Mexico into the USA.

If the Stupid Party goes along with giving minor illegal aliens US citizenship just because they were smuggled into the USA or their illegal alien parents brought them here, the Stupid Party will be committing long-term political suicide, because they will lose a good part of their base, along with the fact that only a small percentage of Mexicans will vote for them when given US citizenship and US voting rights.

Listen, Eric, you mamma´s boy jackass - - Zippy won the election only because he´s black. Any white person with the same qualifications to be president would have been laughed off the stage.

You can´t pretend to be black - - because you´re not. No amount of groveling will cause blacks or dumbed-down whites to vote for Pubbies.

So be a mensch. Stand up - - stand up strong - - for the principles you believe in. And if you lose on those principles - - if the electorate is too dumb to believe what you believe - - at least you´ll have lost like a man - - instead of like a sniveling wimp.

No. Wrong.

There already is a "path to citizenship," and plenty have used it!

Congress wasn´t established to give away our sovereignty and security piecemeal, or to anyone from a country whose people aren´t interested enough, or determined enough, to fix their own sorry nation.

#14: There is no birthright citizenship, despite "inventive," agenda-driven "decisions" [read: bench legislation] by power-grabbing judges. Even if there were birthright citizenship, the ancient common law holding that a criminal may not benefit from his illegal acts would trump same for the children of illegal aliens. The parents clearly have just such a goal in mind. Further, that there are "English-speaking high school" [or college] "students here who have never been to Mexico" in fact indicts a string of Administrations, but does not justify amnesty. If I embezzle $50 million, live in a $5 million mansion for 15 years ´til the crime is discovered and I´m caught, why should I, or my family, keep the mansion? The cars? The jewelry? And so on? Please consider the position further. Thanks.

#19: And how long would the Left allow those darling kids to be kept from Mama and Papa? Forget any "permanent bar."

If parents bring children into this country without a visa, they are forcing that child to become a criminal through no fault of their own.

That act--forcing their child to break the law should be considered a form of child abuse...and their parental rights should be taken from them so the child could be adopted by a loving, law-abiding couple...or they could choose to self-deport as a family before the court proceedings are completed.

If there is going to be a path to citizenship...it should involve fluent and literate English tested, a $10,000.00 citizenship fee per person regardless of age, medical and mental examination and free from any disease, a recognized skill and sponsorhip by a citizen who is financially and legally responsible for the alien for a minimum of 5 years (average time period to obtain citizenship legally) or until the alien can prove total self-sufficiency.

This would pretty much solve the illegal infestation within 6 months.

A pathway to citizenship is like beating a path to our door taking jobs and eating up our resources.

A Michigan high school canceled a speech by former Sen. Rick Santorum after teachers became outraged over his opposition to gay marriage and threatened to stage protests and a possible work stoppage. Santorum had been invited to deliver a upcoming speech on leadership by the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at Gross Pointe South High School. But the speech was canceled on Monday after the school district’s superintendent heard from angry teachers. “It’s a sad day when liberal educators are allowed to influence young minds – extending free speech rights only to those who share their liberal views,” Santorum said

In the message he issued along with his budget proposal on Wednesday morning, President Barack Obama said he wants to see 4-year-old children in the United States enrolled in public schools. Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

President Obama´s push to pass stricter gun control laws will cost Democrats in the 2014 midterm elections, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Wednesday. "I think the president has shown he is willing to demagogue an issue and that it is ultimately going to backfire," Cruz said in an interview on Laura Ingraham´s radio show. Cruz´s comments come as Congress debates passing a set of gun control measures meant to reduce gun violence and prevent shooting massacres similar to the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

FBI Conducting 32 Gun Purchase
Background Checks Per Minute
Under Obama

Posted By: KarenJ1- 4/10/2013 12:33:01 PM     Post Reply
During Barack Obama´s presidency there have been 32 background checks for gun purchases every minute. Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama´s presidency, there have been 70,291,049 background checks for gun purchases, according to data released by the FBI. Using February 1, 2009 as our starting date, and March 31, 2013 as our end date, (the latest data from the FBI) Obama has been president for 1,520 days. That equates to 36,480 hours, or 2,188,800 minutes. Divide the 70,291,049 background checks by 2,188,800 minutes and you get approximately 32 checks for gun purchases every minute!

As he rolls out his fiscal 2014 budget on Wednesday, a new survey finds that Americans haven’t felt this confident about President Obama’s handling of the economy since his first year in office. The Gallup poll, which sampled more than 1,000 Americans, found that 57 percent say they have a “great deal or a fair amount of confidence” in Mr. Obama to do the right thing on the economy. That’s up from just 50 percent last year and hasn’t been this high since it hit 71 percent in 2008. Trust in congressional Republicans, on the other hand, remains low.

MSNBC host Touré founded a student newspaper dedicated to black liberation theology while he was a college student attending Emory University from 1989 to 1992. Touré’s flagship publication, The Fire This Time, lavished praise on famous anti-Semites, black supremacists, and conspiracy theorists whom Touré helped bring to campus. Before he became an intense-but-sardonic TV personality, Touré also decried “the suffocating white community” and defended a nationally famous fake hate crime. In an interview with The Daily Caller, Touré described the newspaper as “an important black voice on campus” and “a form of community building.”

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.
