GOP Lawmaker Proposes Constitutional Amendment
Story by Emily Prescott•
 
Rep. Andy Barr speaking at House Committee hearing
 
Rep. Andy Barr (R-KY) has proposed a constitutional amendment to limit birthright citizenship, stating that U.S.-born individuals qualify only if at least one parent is a citizen, permanent resident, or legal-status military member. The measure aims to address what Barr sees as legal ambiguities in the 14th Amendment. Supporters argue it will clarify citizenship rules, while critics warn it could undermine immigrant rights.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

He should have added that the one parent who is a citizen cannot be a democrat. :whistle:

Nice gesture but it will go nowhere in today's divided America (and Congress).

It merely clarifies what the interpretation of the 14th should have been all along.
It isn't needed if the Amendment is just read and interpreted correctly.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
