Birthright citizenship a new low for GOP

this is all just an exercise in election-year politics at their worst,” said Tramonte.

“But targeting babies who had no say in where they are born is a curious political strategy, in addition to abhorrent public policy. One would assume this is about throwing red meat to conservatives, but the Republican base is already fired up this election, and amending the Constitution to punish babies has not been high on the rank and file’s list of priorities—at least, not until now. By ginning up this issue, in the context of Republican politicians’ standard anti-immigrant rhetoric and support for the Arizona ‘papers, please’ immigration law, GOP politicians are giving Latino voters more reasons to show up in November than ever,” she said.
