It's unnecessary to confront the constitutional question of whether this can be stopped with a bill passed through Congress.

Better would be to simply put a price tag and a process on US citizenship for the anchor babies.  For a half a million USD, kid, we'll process your the kid's citizenship application when he turns 21.

Problem solved.

I don't think that anyone will be paying $500,000 for an American passport for his kid, when it can be entirely free. An illegal Mexican immigrant can give birth to her anchor baby in any of the sanctuary cities, and the government will bear the medical and other expenses. What makes you think that such people will end up paying $500K?

Donald Trump booed by conservative crowd for first time in his campaign

At the Values Voter Summit, a gathering of social conservatives in Washington DC, Trump received an angry response after calling his fellow Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio “a clown”.

Trump later told reporters, “those weren’t boos, those were cheers.”
[...]
The boos weren’t the only negative reaction that Trump got from the audience. When the Republican frontrunner claimed that he won the most recent GOP debate based on polls, an audience member shouted: “No, you didn’t.”

After speaking, Trump left quickly without taking questions from reporters.

‘Birth Tourism’ Booming In Bay Area Despite Fed Crackdown



SAN JOSE (KPIX) — A bill that would end birthright citizenship in the U.S. is gaining steam in Washington, thanks to the Republican Presidential campaign.

It targets a controversial underground industry known as birth tourism, pregnant foreign women traveling to this country just for the purpose of delivering American citizen babies.

Business is booming here in the Bay Area, especially in the South Bay.

But publicity is not welcome.

“I don’t have a comment, I don’t have a comment,” said Jerry Zhou. He runs a popular tourist agency. The destination, not Fisherman’s Wharf, or the Golden Gate Bridge, but a regular home on a residential street in North San Jose.

We’ve learned the home is actually a birthing hotel. ....

‘Birth Tourism’ Booming In Bay Area Despite Fed Crackdown



SAN JOSE (KPIX) — A bill that would end birthright citizenship in the U.S. is gaining steam in Washington, thanks to the Republican Presidential campaign.

It targets a controversial underground industry known as birth tourism, pregnant foreign women traveling to this country just for the purpose of delivering American citizen babies.

Business is booming here in the Bay Area, especially in the South Bay.

But publicity is not welcome.

“I don’t have a comment, I don’t have a comment,” said Jerry Zhou. He runs a popular tourist agency. The destination, not Fisherman’s Wharf, or the Golden Gate Bridge, but a regular home on a residential street in North San Jose.

We’ve learned the home is actually a birthing hotel. It caters to pregnant women, mostly from China, who come to the U.S. to grab that prize: instant U.S. citizenship for their baby.

Neighbor Robert Ramos says the women keep a low profile, rarely walking the neighborhood, going in and out only in a van with tinted windows. But he says what’s going on inside is pretty obvious.

“At one time I think there were four — four of them at the same time,” he said. “It’s pretty predictable, you can see when somebody’s giving birth. You don’t see them afterwards, and then a new family comes in.”

The house is one of at least two locations run by Jerry Zhou, who advertises on the internet under the name California Baby Care. For $3,000 to $4,000 a month everything’s included: dedicated nannies, professional chefs, transport to- and from the hospital, and a passport for the newborn.

“There’s a business apparently established apparently to do this. I think it’s fraud,” said Ramos.

Homeland security cracked down on a similar operation in Southern California earlier this year.

ICE agents raided three addresses where they found dozens of women from China, either pregnant or who had just given birth.

The crackdown is prompting debate on Capitol Hill on whether to end birthright citizenship.

A new bill would allow it only for children of citizens or legal U.S. residents.

“The organizers of these birth tourist hotels have figured out how to game the system,” said Jon Feere with the Center for Immigration Studies, a conservative research foundation.

“If you tell our visa processors that you are here to visit Disneyland when in reality you are here to give birth, that does constitute fraud,” Feere said.

But Bill Hing, an immigration law professor at the University of San Francisco disagrees.

“There is no regulation that prohibits a woman from coming to the U.S. to give birth,” said Professor Hing, after reviewing the affidavits.
Hing says the birth hotel operators may get fined for tax violations, but that’s about all.

“It’s not viable in terms of real law, but it has political viability. It appeases their constituents that are anti-immigrant,” Hing said.

Back in San Jose, Jerry Zhou didn’t want to discuss the matter and denied having anything to do with babies or pregnant women.

“This house is on your website. It’s advertised on your website as a birth hotel, that is why we are here,” KPIX reporter Betty Yu told him. Zhou’s response: “I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t have any comment.”

Homeland Security also did not want to comment on the story, telling KPIX 5 their investigation in Southern California is still ongoing. Word on the street here is that the crackdown down south has pushed many of the operations up north.

Donald Trump’s slide in the polls is beginning to look real

Donald Trump still leads the field — but his position has softened significantly. This is the biggest polling average drop he's seen since he first emerged as the Republican front-runner.

Trump loves to cherry-pick polls that show him doing well. He likes to talk about isolated (and iffy) polls that show him doing well with Hispanic and black voters, but those results should be questioned. After CNN released its poll last weekend— the one showing the big drop— he went on Twitter to complain about how he wanted the media to look at more favorable polling — often with shakier or less-proven methodologies.

[...]

But it's rare in recent primary elections for a candidate to suddenly spike, then fade, then spike again. In most cases, the candidate that suddenly spikes never spikes again, with the exception of Newt Gingrich in 2012.

Source close to Trump: Fox News hosts are asking him to end his boycott so that their ratings don’t suffer


[...]
One reason there likely won’t be peace in our time is that Trump still has not gotten over Kelly’s questioning of him during the opening Republican primary debate. “She caused me a lot of damage, didn’t she?” Trump recently vented to a friend. “He’s really angry,” a source explained…

Both sides are posturing to save face. Yesterday a Fox statement called Trump’s boycott “stale and tiresome.” But a source close to the Trump campaign told me that Trump thinks he has the leverage. Trump has been hearing from Fox hosts who are worried that his boycott will hurt ratings. The calculus seems to be that by shunning Fox, Trump is hoping to drive a wedge between Fox hosts, Kelly, and Ailes. That may be wishful thinking. As an Ailes friend told me today: “Roger can’t turn back. The entire credibility of Fox as powerbroker rests on Trump being destroyed.”

Was Trump's 'Muslim Question' Guy A Liberal Plant?

EXCLUSIVE: LIBERAL GROUP PUBLICIZED TRUMP ‘MUSLIM QUESTION’ GUY YEARS AGO


A man who looks exactly like the notorious “Muslim question” guy from last week’s Donald Trump rally was previously the star of a liberal anti-Tea Party campaign, Breitbart News has learned.

The man, whom some suspect to have been a liberal or Democratic plant in Trump’s audience, was featured in a meme in the spring of 2013 that was credited to aattp.org, the website of the group Americans Against The Tea Party.

The man was depicted participating in a rally holding a sign that read “Impeach the Muslim Marxist.” The photo spread on left-wing message boards.

“Glenn Beck Is My Hero,” the man’s shirt read.

The photo has been used as a stock image by liberal sites including The Daily Banter and Forward Progressives.

We know now that the left-wing media and activists were aware of this man more than two years before last week’s Trump rally, where he stated that President Obama was a Muslim and sparked mainstream-media controversy. Trump was criticized for not repudiating the man for his comments.

Anti-Trump blogger Nolan Dolla even featured the photo in a recent blog post about the Trump controversy.

REPORT: Boehner Cut Deal With Pelosi to Fund Obama Administration Before Resigning


Cruz cheered the news of Boehner’s resignation telling the conservative crowd:

“You want to know how much each of you terrifies Washington? Yesterday, John Boehner was Speaker of the House. Y’all come to town and somehow that changes. My only request is — can you come more often?”

Ted Cruz also broke the news that Boehner may have cut another deal with Pelosi on the way out the door.

I will say, the early reports are discouraging. If it is correct that the Speaker, before he resigns, has cut a deal with Nancy Pelosi to fund the Obama administration for the rest of its tenure, to fund Obamacare, to fund executive amnesty, to fund Planned Parenthood, to fund implementation of this Iran deal — and then, presumably, to land in a cushy K Street job after joining with the Democrats to implement all of President Obama’s priorities, that is not the behavior one would expect of a Republican Speaker of the House.

One commenter today made a reference to the GOPe & the base playing a game of chicken; wondering which side would blink first.

oscarwilde pointed out to the commenter; the base isn’t “playing chicken”

Spot on, oscar.

People like the commenter are, for lack of a more accurate term, clueless.

Whether this one was another GOPe shill is besides the point.

The simple fact of the matter is the conservatives are engaged in a Revolutionary endeavor:

Our goal is to destroy from the topmost branch to the most deeply buried roots in local politics the obscenity we refer to as the GOPe.

The GOPe is completely amoral and completely corrupt. This has been proven ceaselessly by their own actions from November of 2014 to the present day.

A brief litany of their crimes for those who may profess their ignorance:

Support $ 55 trillion in NEW bailouts of TBTF banks
Obama’s executive amnesty “failure theater”
CRomnibus
Obamacare defunding “failure theater”
Trans Pacific Partnership passage
Planned Parenthood defunding “failure theater”

In 2006, with control of JUST the House and the Senate, the Democrats began their “fundamental transformation of America”.

“Dubya” behaved exactly as Boehner, McConnel et al have ever since. He surrendered budget control and any respect for the Constitution and free markets, much less conservative values.

When Obamacare was passed by deceit in the dark of night … the GOPe and the GOPe-media sighed heavily and proceeded to complain “we don’t have the votes”.

When the TEA Party movement delivered control of the House back into Republican hands in January 2011, one of the most “insider influence peddling” members was elected Speaker of the House and reached the zennith of his success … when Obama’s idiots pushed for “sequestration” and Boehner & Co foolishly believed it would not pass due to heavy defense cuts being the stick Republicans would face when the inevitable inability to agree occurred by the special committee.

SURPRISE!

Many conservatives by that time knew the defense cuts were a necessary sacrifice to forestall the Elites willingness to reduce the entire country to abject poverty by endless “bread & circuses” spending.

Boehner, along with Obama, had learned conservatives were willing “to shoot the hostage”.

In the last four years, despite significant electoral successes, the GOPe has increasingly made itself the willing wh0re of the GOPe Donor Class and has relentlessy attempted to deliver their prime objective:

Amnesty and a pathway to citizenship for illegal aliens.

Even though the bulk of American citizens, across party and demographic lines, are steadfastly opposed to the surrender of this country’s sovereignty.

Trump is ascendant, regardless of his “purity” or temperment, because he has made a vow to stop the inflow of illegal aliens and remove those undeserving of being in this country.

The base has been described as “angry” – hardly a sufficient term. The base is enraged by the corruption of the Elites and incendiary over the intentional destruction of their standard of living since January 2009.

We, the people, are going to destroy every root and branch of the GOPe.

The cowards, and traitors, will shout, “You’ll elect Democrats you fools!”

Precisely!

The Democrats are blatantly honest about their intent to destroy this country and it’s values. It’s impossible for THEM to fade into the crowd. They are also, almost universally, far weaker opponents than their GOPe counterparts at any level within our Republic.

And after we rid ourselves of the snakes in our midst, destroying them will be comparatively easy.

If you are still inclined to chastise us for how WE are behaving in this election cycle …

… look cluelessly in the mirror and try to understand what WE already know: YOU are part of the problem

That I have told is not based in my feelings. If so you're right. But I think with my mind and if I don't agree with you I have a reason. Leaving apart my non desire to have to do with politics, I can give you thoughts (rich with facts) that why Trump is accused as a racist and why me seems like a racist.

Dead by 40? Isn't he in his 60s now? BTW I love his speeches. Plus he's nobody's puppet because he's financing his own campaign. That's the way it should be.

If we must hear that he believed yes. But was wrong. I hear to many that loves his speeches. This is a good sign that him could be the new President. But I don't like to much him. Seems a little racist.

Does he seem like he is uncomfortable with the interviewer, Sen. Scott and his mom in the first row, to you?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RPsigtl7aoY

You tell me.




Don't have interest to see a video for about 1 hour. And first of all I don't have interest to hear political speeches. Politics is not for me. According to my point of view they speak to much (even nicely) but to long for my patience. I like the direct and short things which followed by acting.  Wink To tell the truth not to short because are hard to be understood but enough to make me act as it needed.  Smiley

Give it 60 seconds and you'll have your answer. You can fast forward the video at any time too. You don't need to hear it. Mute it. Does he seem like a racist to you?




Seems that you don't understand me. I don't like politics. I don't like to have to do with politics. Period. And even me don't understand you. How I can judge about something if I can't hear what he will says. If I mute the video and if I don't need to hear it how I can tell if he is racist or not? Maybe because from the other side is a black men? If this the reason this doesn't mean nothing. He can be racist with other etnies.


The exact opposite of your argument can be true too, if what you believe is based on a feeling, based on what somebody told you, based on the way the man, Trump, looks like...

I was merely suggesting to make up your OWN mind based on your OWN experience and research. If you do not care, then he is a racist. Case closed.
