"TITLE X—CITIZENSHIP 4 SEC. 1001. BASIS OF CITIZENSHIP CLARIFIED.  In the exercise of its powers under section of the Fourteenth Article of Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, the Congress has determined and hereby declares that any person born after the date of enactment of this title to a mother who is neither a citizen of the United States nor admitted to the United States as a lawful permanent resident, and which person is a national or citizen of another country of which either of his or her natural parents is a national or citizen, or is entitled upon application to become a national or citizen of such country, shall be considered as born subject to the jurisdiction of that foreign country and not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States within the meaning of section 1 of such Article and shall therefore not be a citizen of the United States or of any State solely by reason of physical presence within the United States at the moment of birth."

The bill goes on to deny federal assistance to state and local governments that give welfare, food stamps to illegals.

Alas, this was in 1993.

















And the bill's author was Harry Reid.

I'd sure like to see the expression on his pruneface if that ever gets read at one of his, "I don't know how any person of Latino descent can be a Republican"!

Let's just dust it off and resubmit it in January, after the R's take the majority.  How can the D's fight it, it's their own bill!  Hell, that'd be downright bipartisan...  :fuelfire:

Why not?  Introduce it as the Harry Reid Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bill.  That way, D's vote against, they're on record as being against "comprehensive immigration reform", they vote for it, we get what we want.  Win-win.
