Some GOP Sanity on Immigration

Michael Sean Winters  |  Aug. 10, 2010 Distinctly Catholic

Glad to see that some former Bush Administration officials, as well as Michael Gerson, are pushing back against the Nativists [1]in their party who have suggested re-writing the Fourteenth Amendment to deny citizenship to children born of undocumented parents.

“The 14th Amendment is a great legacy of the Republican party,” Mark McKinnon told Politico. “It is a shame and an embarrassment that the GOP now wants to amend it for starkly political reasons.” Let’s hope some elected officials – and perhaps former President Bush himself – jump up and second McKinnon’s sentiments.
