They held their convention here in KC and a libertarian friend of mine attended and interviewed some of the people.<BR/><BR/>The guy who won the nomination for the presidency said that he was more afraid of the people in the Bush administration than the terrorists. That right there sent me over the edge and let me know that I wouldn't be able to support them anytime soon.Dionnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013166054883351020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-82350049093392750872008-10-27T02:58:00.000-07:002008-10-27T02:58:00.000-07:00"Your "illegal immigration = bank robbery" argumen..."Your "illegal immigration = bank robbery" argument is a little weak"<BR/><BR/>In the case of the immigrants who come here to be productive, it is much less damaging than bank robbery, and in fact provides a benefit to the country.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-43141204205698276072008-10-26T19:43:00.000-07:002008-10-26T19:43:00.000-07:00dmarks: It is true that it would take a change to ...dmarks: It is true that it would take a change to the 14th amendment to deal with the "anchor baby" loophole being taken advantage of by illegal immigrants. As there are many illegal immigrants, with a native baby or not, taking advantage of services anyway this would not seem to me to be the solution to our immigration problem. Enforcing existing immigration laws would be a great start.<BR/><BR/>Your "illegal immigration = bank robbery" argument is a little weak. Stripping a person of their natural born or earned citizenship because commit a felony? Not proportionate by any stretch. Sending someone back to the country they immigrated from illegally, that is perfectly reasonable.<BR/><BR/>Honestly, I could fall on either side of the "anchor baby" issue, but this minor disagreement with the Constitution Party isn't a deal breaker.Bullfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12019620619450825193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-3644362121451126352008-10-26T13:09:00.000-07:002008-10-26T13:09:00.000-07:00@Pasadena: You are right.

So at least in this, the Constitution Party wants to ignore an explicit part of the Constitution at most, or at least rewrite it. <BR/><BR/>Personally, I think it is repugnant to punish native-born Americans for the trespassing crimes of their parents. Stripping these Americans of their citizenship would create a group of 2nd-class native citizens like you have in some countries of the world: native born people who are mistreated as outsiders because of their ethnicity or where their parents came from.<BR/><BR/>Also, while people coming here to work and better their lives and the economy of the country is sometimes illegal, so are a lot of other things.<BR/><BR/>Why not strip the citizenship also of the children of people who do much worse crimes? Like bank robbery, or even jay walking?dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20044969.post-26784416714457994242008-10-17T15:07:00.000-07:002008-10-17T15:07:00.000-07:00BullfrogUnless you live in a liberal state, I'm ho...Bullfrog<BR/><BR/>Unless you live in a liberal state, I'm hoping "hold your nose" and vote for McCain anyway.
