Bobby Jindal releases his birth certificate

Rubio's just about the only guy on that side right now who can hold an audience without risking embarrassing himself . . . and he's smart enough to sit 2012 out.

 

America says: "Who the fuck is Bobby Jindal?"

 

The little Indian dude that runs the Dunkin' Donuts in Metairie?

 

Ah, the soft racism of racial stereotyping disguised as a "funny" joke.

I guess Indian-Americans aren't a protected class. Thankfully too, since that joke was so hysterical.

Joe Biden would love that one.

 

Besides, most of the Dunkin' Donuts are owned by Gujaratis.

Jindal is Punjabi.

And, there is often tension between Punjabis & Gujaratis.

But, hey he's brown, right? And, the joke was so funny, that your ignorance can be ignored in favor of a good laugh.

 

"It helps to be at least 5'10" if you want to maintain a sustained hope of getting this job" is
fairer, still. Visual perceptions matter, fair or not.

 

Whatever the case, and I'm far, far to the right ...

The 14th Amendment is very clear on who is and is not a citizen: Any person born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

Translation: If you're born here, and your parents have a legal reason to be here (subject to the jurisdiction of the United States), you are a citizen, per the Constitution. About the only people this does not apply to are the children of diplomats (subject to the jurisdiction of another country) or of people who are here illegally (not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States as they are flouting the law), so Congress could easily deny citizenship to those, although it would be committing political suicide to do so.

 

I think the children of illegal immigrants who are born in the USA are citizens.

 

They shouldn't be, but no one fights it, so they are.

 

"Keep my name out of your mouth."

 

And a few thoughts on separate posts:

YF: I think heyabbott is referring to a Joe Biden howler. I could be mistaken. Also, look at you bringing the subcontinental knowledge!

crimson: You're right about the "citizen" part, but it's the "natural born" part that allows the crazies wiggle room.

 

Ah, we have our first "anchor babies" reference.

This country needs more people like you.
