if you actually read the story, you'll learn that the Obama admin had similar concerns and took similar actions. Apparenlty midwives in tejas would issue US birth certificates even if the baby had been born in Mexico. Admins have ever since been trying to clean it up.

But this seems to be an acceleration of the thing. And we can't trust spanky an inch, unfortunately.

It turns out that I did "actually read the story". Did you actually read the story?

Hate to be the one to break it to you, agip. But you're becoming kind of a dick. Try posting without the condescending horseshit. I know you can do it. You used to.

Ah, the impotent flames of anonymous posters. Useless.

Here's the relevant quote from the piece that shows this is an ongoing problem, not one drummed up by cadet bone spurs out the thin air:

"The government alleges that from the 1950s through the 1990s, some midwives and physicians along the Texas-Mexico border provided U.S. birth certificates to babies who were actually born in Mexico. In a series of federal court cases in the 1990s, several birth attendants admitted to providing fraudulent documents.

Based on those suspicions, the State Department during the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations denied passports to people who were delivered by midwives in Texas’s Rio Grande Valley"

But yeah - untangling these things is impossible so the fraudulent certificates will have to be accepted

What cadet bone spurs is doing is very different from Bush and Obama. He is actively trying to deport the people he has decided might have fraudulent birth certificates. His goal is more to reduce the number of democrat voters in southern Texas. He could less whether the deportees are actual American citizens. They are "bad hombres"—which for him is more than enough evidence. … Oh, and this "policy" has the smell of the racists Stephen Miller all over it.

fair

although I'm pretty sure that the ACLU could find examples of Bush and or Obama deporting people with questionable birth certificates. Just guessing there - but taking a passport away from someone not currently in the US is pretty close to the same thing as deportation, and I think that happened.

Anonymous posters attacking another anonymous poster for being anonymous. Classic.

In your case, an ignorant poster making an ignorant comment. Classic!

Indeed, you used to be a good poster. One of the best.

Now you have become a dick. The Trump phenomenon has captured and conquered you. Sad really. Trump's America is where everyone is a dick. Some are dicks for the left. And some are dicks for the right. But only the strong avoid being a dick.

Try to be better. There was a day when you appeared to be. Perhaps you don't want Trump to own you. But he will as long as you are being a dick. That's Trump's work, making you a dick.

Think about it.

Trumpettes are NOT Americans!

You have never been a good, or clever, poster, HardLoper. You are the total dick. Your post makes more sense as adjusted above.

Most RWNJs--shoot, most Americans of *all* political stripes--believe in one or more "deities."

Crokin's belief in witchcraft and spells is less conventional, but no less rational, than the typical American's god-belief.

Belief in God is completely rational. If you really are an atheist you would have surely researched this by now. It's quite easy to find systematic, logical reasoning that argues convincingly for the existence of God. Read up on it and get back to us.

I'm not saying you have to accept any particular argument. But to say rational arguments for belief in God don't exist is intellectually dishonest.

Actually no rational arguments exist either for belief in God or the opposite. To say otherwise is to be either intellectually dishonest or intellectually lacking.[/quote]

Some of the smartest people in the history of the world have argued for the existence of God. By definition, those people are not intellectually lacking.

Trump plan to build 500 houses around his money-losing Scottish golf course -- using money from ???? guess where

The Trump Organization will spend an estimated $200 million to build the homes next to the president’s Scottish golf course. The golf course is a money pit—a major money loser. BUT Trump Org is funding the project entirely in CASH. A decade ago Trump Org stopped borrowing money—Trump: 'I love debt'—and has been on a CASH spending spree since. Massive all-cash transactions on this scale are usually a RED-CARD warning light that money is being laundered for foreign criminal source.

But my sources suck as well. We liberals only go to the sources that say what we like, aka fit our agenda.

Our sources are well-respected and our "agenda" is the intelligent truth.

Yours...not so much.

Hillary was a lying crook. You're not even remotely close to intelligent if you can't admit that.

Clintonettes are NOT Americans!

It looks like Sessions' days are numbered. But it's unclear when Trump might want to fire him. So let's take a vote.

When will Trump fire Sessions?

A. Before the midterms

B. After midterms, during the lame duck period.

C. After the new congress is sworn in.

D. Never

Choice B, for Sessions - after midterms

Now, Trump has announced that he is cancelling pay raises for federal employees.

The total increase of $25B would be inappropriate.

But he would spend that amount on a military parade or another fighter jet.

And the tax cuts for corporations makes it harder to pay these people.

"We must maintain efforts to put our Nation on a fiscally sustainable course, and Federal agency budgets cannot sustain such increases," the President wrote.

Sucks to have Trump determining your pay.

Not that it matters, but:

Countless Republican investigations of Hillary, no convictions.

One Republican investigation of Trump, countless convictions.

There is one thing here that's not remotely intelligent here and it's starting at you when you look in the mirror.

It must hurt to be so delusional that it is actively affecting your ability to perceive reality, probably also not good for your IQ. Maybe apply for a brain transplant? You can't have many brain cells left or maybe just didn't have many to start with. Sad.

. . . therefore they were being intellectually dishonest. Happens to the best of them.

Convictions don't matter. Are you really that mental? She's a crook who stole millions and you're a moron to think otherwise.
