You swallow everything you’re given to swallow.

Good little boy.

I'm guessing that's not the first time you've uttered those word.

Rosendo Noviega, a 38-year-old migrant from Guatemala, part of a caravan of thousands from Central America en route to the United States, holds his daughter Belinda Izabel as he walks along the highway to Juchitan from Santiago Niltepec, Mexico, on October 30,

And why cannot he stop somewhere in MEXICO... where he currently IS WALKING and seek asylum?

Aww, you do remember last night.

Great idea, lets set all policy on poems written in the late 1800s.

Sounds like the lunatic ravings of some commie, socialist, libtard, globalist, girlie man.

The right on the Second Amendment: "The words mean exactly what they say! The language about a militia and the context of the adoption of the Amendment are irrelevant!"

The right on the 14th Amendment: "You have to look at what was going on at the time and change the meaning of the words now because they don't mean what they say."

Close except it was a wealthy she.

I see the Black KKK showing their support & intimidation w/their nasty guns drawn. Outrage & cities being burned down if a white group did that for their candidate.

And I thought white men were the biggest source of terrorism

WTF does the poem inscribed on the base of the SOL have to do with the constitution?

Mind Blown.................what is this thing you refer to as the Constitution?

Clearly a battle over what best represents our national conscious.
Trump or goodness and decency?

The 14th Amendment says hi.

Please tell me you don't think those words come from the 14th amendement?

I started the post thinking I'd draw a contrast between how you 1) rely zealously on words that are 250 years old and demand that they be adhered to without regard to context when it suits you, but 2) ignore the principle of what was written 150 years ago because its "too old."

But figured it would confuse you.

Does the 14th Amendment apply to a person if they are born here while their birth parents are committing a crime by being here in the first place? Just asking

1. the 250 year old words are actual canon
2. the 150 year old words are an excerpt from a ****ing poem

See the difference?

I don't believe the verbiage of the 14th qualifies that, so yes IMO - it'd apply until the SCOTUS says it doesn't.

RCP has now moved 39 House races to "Toss Up"

The 14th was ratified in 1868, Lady Liberty was erected in 1875. I'd argue that the national conscious at the time was that the two held hands.

That's my rub with it, but I'm no expert. I don't know if I believe something that was created as to protect rights for those born in this country was meant to extend to those who were born here illegally. You are correct though as the SCOTUS hasn't ruled to make that distinction.

But LG's babble was trying to correlate words of law in the 2nd Amendment to words in a poem and trying to say they carried the same weight.

Well, the Second Amendment is different...
