Bobby Jindal joins Trump in urging end to birthright citizenship

WASHINGTON -- Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal has joined front-running GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump in calling for an end to automatic citizenship for children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.

"We need to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants," Jindal tweeted Monday night, a day after Trump offered a tough plan to combat what he calls the negative economic consequences of illegal immigration. Jindal is also running for president, though he remains near the bottom of the 17-person GOP field.

i doubt his parents were illegal immigrants... his stance is specifically for illegal aliens

It is a key characteristic of the open-borders crowd to equate legal immigrants with illegal aliens. They must do so because they have no good arguments without doing so.

His mother came over as a pregnant grad student and his father had a "spouse of a student" visa. Student visas are temporary in nature and Bobby's birth should not be covered under a strict reading of the 14th.

Oh, and PS, he ain't eligible to be President either.

I would agree, if he was not naturalized independently, and not born to a person with permission to immigrate here, then he is not a citizen at all, never mind natural born.

To be fair, I think his parents may have been naturalized before he was 18, which would have naturalized him as well. It's not clear to me they would have been able to stay around as long they did without an anchor baby, however. Although IIRC, the Jindals have sworn up and down that they didn't trade on Piyush/Bobby's status and insist they were allowed to stay and naturalize on their own merits. **SHRUGGING EMOTICON **

Anchor baby wants to do away with anchor babies. Not terribly surprising really. There is a false narrative pushed that previous immigrants must always support more immigration. Not true at all, it's just pro-immigration propaganda.

Other than being a bulwark the US was founded upon; and restricted borders being a relatively new concept in comparison.

There used to be a lot of unsettled land, and a general need to bring more people in. The 13 independent states, and before them the colonies, had sovereignty and the ability to encourage or restrict immigration as they saw fit, like any other sovereign state. That's what makes a state a state (or a country a country). You can read about some of the immigration restrictions exercised by the colonies here -- https://archive.org/stream/colonialimmigrat00proprich#page/16/mode/2up

Hope this helps.
