Now This Is Woman’s Work

This is further evidence of the effectiveness of Governor Palin's leadership. What is said about a candidate before the biased attacks about her family occurred demonstrates the truth about her strengths in government management. Thanks for giving me a reason to subscribe to your magazine.

Thanks for reminding me why i cancelled my subscription after 20+ years.

We all know, Dems will now distance themselves from this acticle. They may even accuse the writer of this acticle of not knowing what they are talking about. I bet they wish this article was part of the clinton library so they could seal it away from everyone until it can be properly screened and release in 2013.

So now it's stone the wench, right? The poor girl just didn't know her place I guess. By the way, she's going to eat you alive.

well what a great article. now i want you newsweek to actually report this when she becomes the vp choice. actually after watching her speak and act someday win or lose she will be the first woman president , sorry hillary you are to divisive

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

Present U.S. anchor baby "policy" is an abuse of the 14th Amendment. This amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the civil rights of native-born black Americans, who had recently been freed from slavery and whose rights were being denied. The amendment states that "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States...." The clear, original intent of the 14th Amendment was spelled out in 1866 by Senator Jacob Howard, co-author of its citizenship clause, who wrote "Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons." Clearly the original intent of the 14th Amendment was not to encourage foreigners to defy U.S. law at taxpayer expense. Sadly the amendment is now being employed to do just that.

I can assure the reader that the U.S. policy of automatic birth citizenship is well-known in Mexico, and is taken advantage of by many Mexicans. You can also rest assured that it provides another incentive to illegal entry into our country. After all, if you can just get across the border, the baby - and for all practical purposes the parents - are legal. Such an incentive can even prove deadly - cadavers of pregnant women are among those who die crossing the U.S. - Mexico border.

The anchor baby fiasco must be stopped. It rewards illegal aliens and encourages more illegal crossing of our borders. It costs law-abiding taxpayers a bundle. It makes it harder to control the border, reform immigration and rein in the runaway welfare state. And, as I found in my personal experience, it cheapens American citizenship and mocks those who play by the rules.

ENFORCE THE LAW AND SECURE OUR PORTS AND BORDERS...THIS IS THE JOB OF OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND IF THEY REFUSE TO DO THE JOB THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO, THEY DO NOT BELONG IN OFFICE
