But there is some constitutionalism about religion.
I love, you know.
Well, I don't think it would be very popular to start deporting women in their ninth or eighth month.
I do think the legislative solution has to be tried first.
I do think Congress should have hearings and pass a statute saying the following people are no longer subject.
to the jurisdiction of the United States and throw it back in the Supreme Court.
And I think there's a good possibility you could peel away one or two justices if the legislation was thoughtful, nuanced, carefully done, and supported what the basic underlying purpose of the 14th Amendment was.
I'm not in favor of starting to round up pregnant women and deporting them.
And I'd rather see legislation that is more general.
So I'm hoping to move in that direction.
Well, I think we ought to change the law and make sure that a person born here who is not subject to the jurisdiction in any realistic sense.
doesn't become a citizen.
And if they are a citizen, let them pay taxes, let them register for the draft, let them be subject to what we citizens are subject to.
Citizenship is not free.
Citizenship entails not only benefits, but obligations as well.
And these people who are born here and leave immediately only get the benefits without the obligations.
And that's certainly not what citizenship ever was intended to convey, either in Great Britain or the United States.
I don't think there's any country in the world that says, other than ours, that if you're born here and owe no allegiance to the United States, you...
are a citizen.
Now, you know, if a person's born here in one day and then play soccer for Nigeria for 25 and 30 years, is that person going to be allowed to play on the American team?
