Well,
Hes no Tom Tancredo,
but Im proud of him!!

He was elected over an incumbant with more than 27 yrs in.
Charles Taylor!!

That is not included in the list fanta.

163 signatures!!!!

Tom Tancredo of Colorado, among them!!!

That is in the minutes from 1866 when the admendment was first introduced!!

The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied as recently-freed slaves. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by writing:

"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."

The original intent of the 14th Amendment was clearly not to facilitate illegal aliens defying U.S. law at taxpayer expense. Current estimates indicate there may be over 300,000 anchor babies born each year in the U.S., thus causing illegal alien mothers to add more to the U.S. population each year than immigration from all sources in an average year before 1965.

The correct interpretation of the 14th Amendment is that an illegal alien mother is subject to the jurisdiction of her native country, as is her baby.

Over a century ago, the Supreme Court correctly confirmed this restricted interpretation of citizenship in the so-called 'Slaughter-House cases' [83 US 36 (1873)] and in [112 US 94 (1884)]. In Elk v.Wilkins, the phrase 'subject to its jurisdiction' excluded from its operation 'children of ministers, consuls, and citizens of foreign states born within the United States.' In Elk, the American Indian claimant was considered not an American citizen because the law required him to be 'not merely subject in some respect or degree to the jurisdiction of the United States, but completely subject to their political jurisdiction and owing them direct and immediate allegiance.'

Don't know of him or about him at all. Right winger? Hatemonger? Whats his agenda? Where does he come from? Why is he doing this? What are his other agendas? Why? Etc..... Got to look harder than the surface for these folks, sometimes their agenda is hate and racial inequity.

The definition of jurisdiction and loyalty is what YOU miss!!

It really dont matter.
We are in the process of giving new meaning to illegal immigrants and anchor babies!

My main point is, while comendable, your views are in the minority.
Things are changing, Arizona, Tex, Colorado, Georgia, and more to follow!
Americans are becoming over-burdened to the point where complacency cant stand!!

You know him, surely;

On May 2, 2006, Shuler won the Democratic primary with nearly 75 percent of the vote. In the campaign, Shuler repeatedly attacked Taylor for putting the interests of the Bush administration above those of the 11th, and pledged to be an "independent voice" for Western North Carolina.

Joseph Heath Shuler (born December 31, 1971) is a congressman and former professional football player. On November 7, 2006 Shuler was elected to the U.S. House as a Democrat from North Carolina's 11th congressional district (map). The district, based in Asheville, includes most of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina.

A former NFL quarterback and real-estate investor, Shuler was born in Bryson City, North Carolina, a small town in the Great Smoky Mountains. Shuler attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville from 1990-93.
