The Tea Party is black, white, asian, latino etc..
The 14th amendment was NEVER meant to give citizenship to the children of illegals who break the law to come to the U.S. on their own and free will to birth a child as a way to citizenship.
SHAME on you for trying to compare the two!!!
Kim, we all know the Tea Party is overwelmingly white, in the high 90 percentile. So any other pretense is an obfuscation from the issue.
The 14th Amendment didn’t mean to give citizenship or not to give citizenship to illegal aliens children, because their was no such thing at the time. Nontheless, the constitution says what it says, and it says that anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen, without any qualification that revisionist want to put on it now.
I thought the Tea Party was supposed to be pro-constitution, but infact it’s clearly anti-constitution when it’s against teapartiers personal views.
The shame is on you Kim for your utter dishonesty in trying to mislead on both these aformentioned points. If you don’t like having a constitutional democracy, you can always move to North Korea.
Exactly there was no such thing as illegal aliens when the 14th amendment was put into law nor anyway to see into the future to the highjacking of it for use with illegal activities. When written is was understood that “The People” would use common sence and not make us the laughing stock of every other country in the world none of whom allow this sillyness of birth right when both parents are not citizens and majority here illegally.
