CA-52: Duncan Hunter (R-CA) hates immigrants AND the constitution
Adding more blazing hot kerosene onto the raging fire that is the debate over immigration policy in this country, Representative Duncan Hunter has gone on the record supporting deportation of American-born children of illegal immigrants:

"Would you support deportation of natural-born American citizens that are the children of illegal aliens," Hunter was asked. "I would have to, yes," Hunter said. "... We simply cannot afford what we're doing right now," he said. "... It takes more than just walking across the border to become an American citizen. It's what's in our souls. ..."

Now, at this point, we really ought to turn to what the supreme document of our country, the U.S. Constitution, has to say about who a citizen is:

AMENDMENT XIV

Passed by Congress June 13, 1866. Ratified July 9, 1868.

Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of the 14th amendment.

Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
