Immigration Politics: New Jersey editorial - In fighting illegal immigration, state GOP lawmakers mock rule of law
In fighting illegal immigration, state GOP lawmakers mock rule of law | courierpostonline.com | Courier-Post: "The legislators who want to restrict citizenship to those children born to citizens or legal permanent resident aliens point to the 'subject to the jurisdiction' phrase (in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution) as exempting illegal immigrants. But on its face, this is absurd -- if illegal immigrants aren't subject to our jurisdiction, how can we claim they are illegal in the first place?" Jan/ 10. 2011
