Kentucky Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul recently shared with a Russian television station his belief that the United States should end its policy of guaranteeing citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants.
“We shouldn’t provide an easy route to citizenship,” Paul explained. “We’re the only country that I know that allows people to come in illegally, have a baby, and then that baby becomes a citizen. And I think that should stop.”
In the interview Paul also suggested what steps he thinks lawmakers should take to address illegal immigration — one of his ideas being constructing an “underground electrical fence” along the boarder. The Senate hopeful even mentions the solution on his campaign website in defining his stance on the issue:
Millions crossing our border without our knowledge constitutes a clear threat to our nation’s security. I will work to secure our borders immediately. My plans include an underground electric fence, with helicopter stations to respond quickly to breaches of the border.
Also on his campaign website, Paul supports his position on illegal immigration by citing the protections outlined in the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution — a frequent point of reference for the self-described “constitutional conservative.”
I support local solutions to illegal immigration as protected by the 10th amendment. I support making English the official language of all documents and contracts.
Paul doesn’t mention however, the 14th amendment of the Constitution, which guarantees U.S. citizenship to all persons born in the country.
On Friday morning, Paul campaign chairman David Adams clarified that the Kentucky candidate stands behind his remarks “because illegal immigration is a real problem in this country.”

Those illegal aliens in American pop a baby out every 9 months and 15 seconds. They breed like rats. None of those babies should be citizens. They all should be kicked back across the border with their welfare sucking wetback parents.
Citizenship is bestowed on anyone born the U.S. to any foreigner, not just illegal immigrants. Women have been coming to the U.S. on tourist visas for many years from South Korea to give birth to U.S. citizens, and recently they started coming from the MIddle East, esp. Turkey, to “give the gift of U.S. citizenship” to their babies. These “U.S. citizens” can grow up not knowing English, the history, culture and traditions of our country, never paying a dime of taxes, never contributing in any positive way to the development of our country, yet they have the same rights as I do, natural-born, 9th generation American.
The Constitutional amendment, poorly worded, bestowed citizenship on the newly freed slaves. It was not intended to bestow citizenship on people who come here to cash in on our welfare system, take jobs away from Americans, explode our buildings and kill people, or for any other reason.
