    I don't want to be an ordinary first world country, I want to be the United States of America. We do things differently from the old first world countries.

    Top Democrat Professor Says ‘I’ve Never Seen any Politician’ with Better Immigration Plan than Trump
    http://www.breitbart.com/immigratio...cian-with-better-immigration-plan-than-trump/

    Demonstrating the broad appeal of his in-depth immigration plan released Sunday, Trump’s proposal has won the accolades of one of the nation’s leading experts on the H-1B visas program. The H-1B is a visa designed to provided corporations with cheaper and less experienced guest workers to fill technology jobs.

    Norm Matloff, a professor at UC Davis, has written extensively about H-1B visa abuses, and his work is widely cited in the H-1B reform community.

    Matloff, a self-described Democrat and “longtime admirer of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT)h,” gave Donald Trump’s H-1B policy “an A+”

  5. The 2nd Amendment means we are allowed to arm ourselves. It has always meant that, it wasn't disputed back when it was ratified, and no one in authority lifted a finger stop it until much later. This is just historical fact and absurd to argue against.. but carry on canuck.

    "Well regulated militia" is pretty clear. But maybe it needs some interpretation... hehe.

  7. The birther can has been reopened and it's going to consume much time, money and energy from republicans.

    I'm picturing B&M Obama laughing at the candidates as they chew each other up.

  9. The dirty little secret of Constitutional Law is that the 14th Amendment is a poorly drafted abomination. It is never criticized by law professors because liberals began using it about 50 years ago to push their policy preferences as supposed constitutional requirements.

    The birth citizenship provision is probably the most benign feature of it. As Coulter demonstrated, it was designed to remove doubts about the citizenship of slaves. The mischief came decades later when courts began applying increasingly bizarre interpretations, reaching its apex when the certifiable nutcase Justice Brennan penned his idiotic footnote. This is the same justice incidentally who wanted to give trees and wild animals standing to litigate enivronmental cases.

    As President, Trump could restore the original meaning by simply stopping the issuance of citizenship to illegal anchor babies. At the very least, we could then get a definitive Supreme Court ruling. Better yet, congress could pass a law clarifying matters.

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    The Supreme Court has upheld this as an individual right, not a collective right.
