Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) announced Wednesday night that he is considering introducing a constitutional amendment that would change existing law to no longer grant citizenship to the children of immigrants born in the United States.
Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to any child born within the United States.
But with 12 million illegal immigrants living in the United States, Graham said it may be time to restrict the ability of immigrants to have children who become citizens just because they are born within the country.

The man is an idiot we all know that, except for South Carolina who keeps electing him.
You know Pansey(do you mind if I call you Pansey?GOOD) you might have a little more credibility if you actually acted like a consevative (instead of swearing to the American people you are one) right before you team up w/the socialist and try to ‘give’ us communism. Stop trying to destroy the republic and just GO AWAY already Pansey Grahm…
A person as rosy as you calling Lindsey Graham a pansy is about as honest as his self-deprecating facade. But “Pansy” is way too good for that snake in a bucket of scum. Because he can’t come clean about who he really is, the tooth sucking Graham is the quintessential example of a hypocritical/political suckup. One only needs to look as far as John McCain to see how well this creep can suckup. Lindsey is an embarrassment to his state and the southerners who choose not to see a difference in color or sexuality when they look at a person. People like Lindsey shine the brightest light on the bigotry, homophobia and hypocrisy that southerners can’t shake because of the snakes who still live among them.
Check out these two sausage suckers in action… condoning of all things, offshore drilling. Isn’t that succulent? Please note Lindsey’s reaction to the nose wiping and disrespectful comment John pays the young reporter at 2:20. It’s a priceless sausage breathed moment for both of them… and everything but a straight talking express. I know for a fact they also packed some fudge away before that day was over.

Please learn how to spell the names of flowers. Pansies are beautiful. They don’t deserve to be misrepresented by your bad rap.
“Currently, the 14th Amendment grants citizenship to any child born within the United States.”
No, the current interpretation of the 14th seems to grant this.
But just as we argued for years (some still do) about things like “a well regulated militia” in the 2nd, the meaning of “…and subject to the jurisdiction thereof…” may be considered to be not yet finalized.
But this should be done through a court battle precipitated by a challenge by a State interpretation of it that’s other than the whackos believe. Arizona is in the process of this now (why am I not surprised).
The Country is too divided for a Constitutional Amendment and that horse let out of the barn in the form of a Convention would be the end of the Republic. We’d end up with a Constitution of 300 pages full of nonsense like everyone has the right to dignity and other such gobbledygook.
The RINO is trying to redeem his dumb ass. Too little, too late, RINO. The REAL Republicans can handle this task when they take back the House. Go polish Comrade Obozo’s Limo….you are OUT!
Kabuki theatre by a RINO who knows his days are numbered.
OOOOOOOKay! See you in 2014 Lindsey
Ha ha ha ! Who’s he fooling? See in 2014 Lindsey baby!
So obviously sensible that even Lindsey Graham gets it.
I don’t know if the folks at Politico are some of those who refuse to use the word “illegal” in their reporting or not, but a huge strawberry to them for disingenuously mis-reporting that Graham wants to “… change existing law to no longer grant citizenship to the children of immigrants born in the United States.”
Graham, like most of us, has no problem with immigrants – it’s the illegal immigrants (and their spawn) to whom we object.
We should have an amendment ending RINO progressives.
Nothing but lip service. This jerk is a real flip flop artist. They don’t call him “Grahmnesty” for nothing. Hopefully the good people of SC will throw this turd out on his ass when he comes up for reelection. What you bet he “retires” to spend more time with his family before that happens?
