How to Keep the 14th Amendment while Clamping Down on Illegal Immigration

If I were starting things over from scratch, I might add a revised 14th Amendment which, among other things, says that those born in the USA under US jurisdiction are automatically American citizens. However, it is extremely dangerous to try to go back and change amendments that give more rights to people (rather than removing ones like Prohibition). And executive orders certainly cannot nullify Amendments, and if that were possible, things would be really scary.

With that said, many people have taken advantage of the 14th Amendment to do things that are not okay. My solution to this problem while keeping the 14th Amendment intact is the following:

Any child born in the United States to two illegal aliens is a citizen of the United States. However, both of this child's parents must be deported back to their countries of origin. At that time, they will have the choice of taking their child or putting it up for adoption. The child can legally return at any time, but the illegal actions of that child's parents will go on record and it will be extremely difficult for that child to ever bring his or her parents over. Thus, the child can have the "bright future" (or not) in America that the parents wanted (if the child is put up for adoption or later migrates back to the US upon reaching an older age), but there will be no benefits for the parents for doing that.

This would conform 100% with the 14th Amendment while substantially reducing the current "cheating of the system" that is occurring.

In Defense of...Cecil Rhodes?!

You all know Cecil Rhodes, right?  He was a British Imperialist (living from 1853-1902) who founded the De Beers diamond mining and trading company.  Just this morning, I came upon a post comparing him to Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Cecil Rhodes killed at least 60 million Africans.  It has been shared 99 times.  Here is the post: https://plus.google.com/+TonyJefferson/posts/CZ6HW3AxDo6 Unlike many, I decided to do some research on it.  That is my nature.  I don't accept things without evidence given, and even when no evidence is provided, I search for evidence.  If after looking, no evidence is forthcoming, then I discount the claim unless compelling evidence does surface.  After my research on this topic (taking up about an hour of my day and 28 open tabs on my browser...but still an enjoyable time because this is what I like to do), I found that my initial skepticism was well justified and that this comparison is incorrect.  Adolph Hitler and Cecil Rhodes cannot be compare

Inconvenient History – The Barbary Slave Trade

Once upon a time, slavers ravaged the coastal towns of the European continent. Eventually, the response to that would include clear proof that the United States is not founded on a religion. Soon thereafter, European imperialism would become the driving force for the abolition of slavery around the world. Continue reading to learn more. The Barbary Slave Trade is a relatively small part of the Arab Slave Trade, which itself is only one part of the Islamic Slave Trade (which besides Arab slavers, includes Turks enslaving Europeans and Africans, Muslim invaders of India and Sub-Saharan Africa, Malay enslavers of local minorities, and other Islamic slavers). For example, the Arab Slave Trade may have enslaved up to 18 million people over its span (not including those born enslaved), while the Barbary Slave Trade enslaved some number over 1 million. Bear in mind that this number is three times the number of enslaved people (roughly 388 thousand) sent to the area of the United Sta

The Sixth Great Mass Extinction and Human Survival

Recently, there have been numerous articles about a study showing that we are in the midst of the Earth's sixth great mass extinction.  Below are some quotes, and then I will give my thoughts. "Miami (AFP) - The world is embarking on its sixth mass extinction with animals disappearing about 100 times faster than they used to, scientists warned Friday, and humans could be among the first victims." "Not since the age of the dinosaurs ended 66 million years ago has the planet been losing species at this rapid a rate, said a study led by experts at Stanford University, Princeton University and the University of California, Berkeley." "The study "shows without any significant doubt that we are now entering the sixth great mass extinction event," said co-author Paul Ehrlich, a Stanford University professor of biology." http://news.yahoo.com/sixth-mass-extinction-us-study-210749359.html This is sad, although it's not news.  I
