I keep reading these statements \u2013 often from Christian Facebook friends \u2013 that it\u2019s just a matter of legality. Undocumented residents are Illegal Aliens \u2013 they broke the law coming here.<\/p>\n
End of story \u2013 Bring on the uniformed removal agency. Build those prisons<\/span> detention centers. Get\u2019em out of society. Start the convoys south to Mexico \u2013 whether they are Mexican or not. Just get\u2019em out of here.<\/p>\n I’m told that these people are worth-less\u00a0and have no rights \u2013 to Hell with their children\u2019s future. And if any USAmerican, white or otherwise, tries to get in the way, then arrest them too. Lock\u2019em up!<\/i> Make America <\/i>White<\/i><\/span> Great Again!<\/i><\/p>\n From these same people I hear that birthright citizenship is essentially unconstitutional \u2013 14th<\/sup> Amendment notwithstanding. We\u2019re given large figures for the cost of \u201cillegals\u201d in our country.<\/p>\n Does that include the right to a public education or any other citizen benefit that USAmerican children are receiving? Does it even consider the potential that these Hispanic-American children offer to our country? Children who (again that inconvenient 14th<\/sup> Amendment) are LEGAL UNITED STATES\u2019 CITIZENS.<\/p>\n No, we are told. They are \u201canchor babies\u201d, not real USAmericans. The fact of their presence is the result of illegal entry of prospective parents (many of whom first met after coming here). These young tainted citizens, we are told, should be forced out with their \u201cillegal parents\u201d, becoming a new class of refugees or else become a new class of orphans.<\/p>\n And if you are a white, evangelical, \u201cChristian Nationalist\u201d, so much the better. P<\/i>rofess your patriotism and do <\/i>it all <\/i>in the name of the Lord!<\/i><\/p>\n Really?
