Rep. Hunter (R) CA: Wants to Repeal the 14th Amendment, Deport American-Born Children

The Los Angeles Times reports that, at a tea party rally in the San Diego County city of Ramona , Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) stated that U.S. citizen children of undocumented immigrants should get deported along with their parents to save the state of California money. He made no mention of the pesky 14th Amendment to the Constitution or Title 8 of the United States Code which are quite clear tha More..t anyone born in this country, regardless of parental nationality, is a natural born citizen. Whenever a elected public official advocates a policy which requires a substantial alteration of the Constitution for the purpose of taking rights away from citizens, the best response is to run him out on a rail. I’m sure the Tea Party, defenders of freedom and Constitutional rights will be all over this and mad as hell. (Still waiting……)
Hunter is asked:
QUESTION: Would you support deportation of natural-born American citizens that are the children of illegal aliens?
HUNTER: I would have to, yes. [...] We simply cannot afford what we’re doing right now. California is going under. How much in debt are we? Twenty billion dollars? [...] And we’re not being mean, we’re just saying it takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen. It’s what’s in our souls.
The U.S. Supreme Court explicitly ruled in United States v. Wong Kim Ark that anyone born in the United States would be a citizen regardless of their parents’ nationality. However, that hasn’t stopped Hunter from cosponsoring The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007, legislation that would attempt to overturn the 14th amendment by ending the practice of granting anyone born in the U.S. citizenship status. In fact, Hunter feels so adamantly about the issue that he has co-sponsored five other similar bills over the past thirteen years.
According to Hunter, Arizona’s law is “a fantastic starting point.� more

of people will be going home to their own comfortable way of life down there.
