Now Russell Pearce (AZ law author) wants to nullify the Constitution

[KamaAina]

If you had any doubts that AZ state Sen. Russell Pearce (R-Pendejo) flunked high school civics, this ought to remove all doubt:

The author of Arizona's immigration law, state Sen. Russell Pearce, told constituents he wants to pass another measure to invalidate citizenship granted to the children of illegal aliens.

Pearce wrote that he plans to "push for an Arizona bill that would refuse to accept or issue a birth certificate that recognizes citizenship to those born to illegal aliens, unless one parent is a citizen," in an email obtained by Phoenix CBS affiliate KPHO.

Pearce also forwarded an email from another correspondent expanding on the proposal — which he later told KPHO he didn't agree with. "If we are going to have an effect on the anchor baby racket, we need to target the mother. Call it sexist, but that's the way nature made it. Men don't drop anchor babies, illegal alien mothers do," the email said.

Eurghh. But isn't there some reason he couldn't get away with that? Oh, right, there is:

Last year, 92 Congressmen sponsored a bill that would change the 14th Amendment so that children of illegal aliens born in the United States would not be granted citizenship. The bill is still in committee.

Waaaah! It's all that damn pesky Constitution's fault!



edit: Did you know? Arizona is one of our largest cotton-producing states (thanks to massive Federally funded irrigation projects). Remember what happened the last time a cotton-producing state (South Carolina) tried to play fast and loose with the Constitution?

1. I wonder how/why so many uneducated people are used to promote ignorance?

Isn't it a huge red flag?

2. "drop anchor babies"

HORSES "drop" foals. Cows "drop" calves. Human beings "give birth", asshole. Latino women aren't animals. What a sick, demeaning, twisted way to phrase that sentence.

:grr:

3. It would appear that

all of the batshit crazies from Florida have moved to Arizona now.

Arizona is the new Florida.

5. So Michelle Malkin and Bobby Jindal lose their citizenship?

Or is this just about Mexicans?

6. Now, why did you have to go and do that?

Until now, I opposed this 100%. Looks like I have to re-think my position . . . :evilgrin:
