The campaign against birthright citizenship has been on a roll. Last month, it won the endorsement of South Carolina Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, long seen as a moderate on immigration. He favors amending the Constitution because he's aghast that "people come here to have babies."
Graham and his allies got a boost last week from the Pew Hispanic Center, which released a report that sparked ominous headlines. "Illegal immigrants bear 8 percent of children born in the U.S.," blared Fox News. "Rise seen in births to illegal dwellers," proclaimed USA Today.
What is truly astounding is that Graham and so many others clammoring for a Constitutional amendment on the anchor baby phenomenon want to amend a document they apparently know very little about.
Because if they did, they would know this:
Section. 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

Okay, guilty: I should have come over earlier. To sum up: I really like your new blog look. Very B&W or even noir. It is obvious that the design element is very important to you and that element is definitely in play here. I should say, indeed: most excellent. Well done! And all done in Blogger, I note. Kudos to your design sense!

Thanks. For the longest time Blogger had the same old batch of templates to choose from. It wasn't until fairly recently that they offered up some new options. Thought I'd give it a whirl. I'm happy with the results. Glad you've taken note as well.
