HR 698  (Citizenship Reform Act of 2005)

 

            Did you know that there was a bill introduced in Congress on Feb. 9, 2005, to change our Citizenship Laws to deny citizenship to children born to non citizens?  It was introduced in the house with ten sponsors and 84 co-sponsors. 

 

These Representatives are very forward thinking Americans. 

 

Have you heard about it? 

 

Of course you haven’t! 

 

It was buried in the Judiciary Committee on the same day. 

 

About one month later (3/2/05) the bill was referred to House subcommittee on Immigrations, Border Security, and Claims where it currently remains. 

 

This is such a common sense bill that I can’t believe we have to enact it. 

 

No other country on the face of the Earth gives automatic citizenship at birth to non-citizens. 

 

Why should we be any different? 

 

I can come up with hundreds of reasons why we shouldn’t. 

 

I encourage you to write or E-mail your Congressman to urge this bill to be brought out of committee and debated.  Find out where they stand on HR 698 and ask them to support it. 

 

This is a web site politicians don’t want you to know about: http://thomas.loc.gov/

 

I discovered this site doing some research on immigration and was surprised to find this bill.

 

This is a site where you can research pending bills, action, sponsors, actual context of the bill, and voting records of all the politicians. 

 

Their actions are no longer secret.
