Campfield: Anchor babies and state laws [1]

The amendment to the constitution that is so confusing was put in place for descendants of slaves so they could become US citizens. Not to say the slave trade was good, but the slaves were brought in the country under legal (at the time) means. They were under our jurisdiction so they and their descendants could become citizens. Not so for illegals, they are similar to an invading military and are not, and in my opinion should not, be given the same rights and privileges as citizens or visitors. In many cases their rights are already restricted.

Interesting. Does this stuff actually sell in the 18th TN House district?

Speaking of the fightin' 18th, did you see Georgiana Vines' recent column [2] re. the contest? Sounds like the grownup Republicans are throwing Campfield under the bus. It's a lot like what's going on over here in Blount Co. with Sen. Raymond Finney v. challenger Rep. Doug Overbey. Apparently the local GOP establishments are looking to push some loose cannons overboard.
