The guys (Bingham, Howard) who wrote the Amendment didn't intend for it to cover foreign nationals.

I don't have a problem with allowing people here legally being eligible, but it is foolish to reward people who illegally cross our borders to have children. They effectively use it as a ploy to curry favor with the public, "You can't deport me! I have a child who is a citizen!" I find that argument specious to begin with. We don't let other criminals off without penalty because their children would be parentless. You should think of your children (even the unborn ones) before you do the crime. Dan, it was a great quote. It is shameful how the GOP at large regards him because of his RIGHT position on Iraq despite nearly every other item on his platform being a "conservative's" dream.

I think I'm actually going to send Paul some money. I also need to try to contact his campaign to do some sort of interview. I just don't know what sort of format a blog interview would take. Maybe the standard <strong>Dan: Paul:</strong> fair that magazines do?

They even had the bumper sticker and campaign buttons. I like Rep. Paul's ideas on immigration as described in the article.
