There is currently legislation to end the practice of what is known as Birthright Citizenship in the House of Representatives. I've already covered the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2007 (H.R. 1940). It currently has 79 cosponsors (listed below).
Birthright Citizenship is when a baby is born on American soil, even to parents of illegal aliens, and is automatically given American citizenship. This baby is known as an "anchor baby" because it then gives the illegal alien parents a sympathy vote with the public to avoid deportation. This is not by mistake, literally millions of "anchor babies" are born in the US every year for the sole purpose of allowing the parents to stay here. This "citizen baby" then entitles these illegal alien parents to hundreds of thousands of taxpayer funds in the name of their baby over the years.
This is being done under a misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution that was added to make slaves that were freed after the civil war US citizens. It has been twisted into a means for illegal aliens to rape the coffers of our social services. This is not the first time that the illegal alien movement in this country has hijacked the civil rights movement - and the fight of blacks who have fought for their rights as US citizens - and it certainly won't be the last time.
This practice needs to end and it needs to end now!
I ask that you visit this website now, (the website has been taken down), and sign on to the petition to demand an end to Birthright Citizenship.
The site is being run by Brook Young of Immigration Watchdog.
If you don't see your representative on the list below call toll free at the congressional switchboard ( 1-866-340-9281 ) and urge them to sign on. If you do see your representatives name on there, call and thank them for standing up for America.
