Speech #1140013744

This amendment wouldnt make the practice he describes one bit more illegal. but it would change the Constitution of the United States by a simple passage of the Senate. not as an amendment to the Constitution. This isnt the time and this isnt the place for an amendment attacking birthright citizenship. A bill isnt the place or the venue to change the Constitution. A bill on human trafficking isnt the time for a measure that might increase human trafficking. Frankly. for someone who wants limited government. they shouldnt put the Department of Homeland Security in the delivery room. This is just another attack on immigrants that is against American values and in this case against our Constitution. We can do far better than that. Madam President.
