Reasons To Abolish Birthright Citizenship

It has been legal since the court case of Roe v. Wade in 1973 and still gets plenty of attention now forty years later. According to Zogby International Poll in 2014, sixty one percent of Americans say abortion should be illegal after the fetus has developed a heartbeat, which is about a month into the pregnancy. And only six to seventeen of Americans believe that under any circumstances should abortion be legal. This statistic shows that the majority of citizens do not fully support abortion. It also brings up the constitutionality of abortion. There is no doubt that all people; men or women, have the right of privacy and the right of their own body. The right of privacy is protected by the constitution but murder is not. But in cases of abortion should it be different? Since the fetus is depended on the mother does that make them have less rights than any other person? These questions must be answered before abortion can be ruled to be unconstitutional. Until the public becomes more aware of these pressing questions abortion will still remain legal and constitutional.

The framers of the 14th amendment citizenship clause were clear that birthright citizenship did not apply to foreign or illegal births. The time has come for the US Congress to use the power under the constitution to make the laws to stop birthright citizenship. We do not need a constitutional amendment we need congress to do their job and we need a non-political supreme court to do interpret and not try to legislate. They do not have birthright citizenship anywhere in Mexico and Latin America, china,

The nature of the current debate surrounding the implementation of universal healthcare in America is troubling because it is comprised almost entirely of pragmatic arguments void of concern for the principles behind the project. Before one asks how much a thing will cost, how it will be organized, or whether “the uninsured” will benefit, one should ask whether enacting universal healthcare is in keeping with the values and principles of the American experiment. In other words, is universal healthcare good for America?

Currently, In Canada we have a universal health care, what this means is that medical services are provided to every Canadian citizen paid for by taxpayers and also by revenues collected from leading industries. There has been a huge controversy over the last couples of years, on whether we should remain to have universal health care system, privatized or adapt to a mixed health care system. Canadian health care should not be privatized because health care should be available to everybody regardless of their income.

It has been argued that birthright citizenship, or the legal right to citizenship for all children born in a country 's territory, regardless of parentage, may reward/encourage illegal immigrant parents an excuse to stay in the country. Despite this possibility, the 14th Amendment should not be modified. The 14th Amendment states that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” (U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 1) It does not stand by America’s past actions and it won’t solve the immigration problem. When children granted birthright citizenship grow up, they will benefit the American economy and its society by becoming influential citizens and taxpayers. While the opposition may argue that we are currently not using the amendment for its true intentions, it’s clear that the way we are currently applying it to modern day is a positive choice.

Healthcare is an important access we hold, but an issue is that not everyone can have that access to the healthcare they need. There are many arguments regarding the United States adopting a universal healthcare system. Although the universal system may reduce the quality of care the people receive, there are too many people not able to get any kind of care. Therefore a universal healthcare system would be more beneficial to the citizens of the United States than the limited access of care we have today.

The first premise is the biggest argument against universal health care. It is going to cause an increase in our taxes.

Politicians including Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, and Scott Walker, Chris Christie, and Rand Paul. Most Republicans are against wording but aren’t about repealing it, but they believe people are taking advantage of it. The Republicans argument against birthright citizenship, “that birthright citizenship needs to be changed to stem illegal immigration. They argue that having children become U.S. citizens is a motivating factor for immigrants to come into the country illegally and that when the child reaches adulthood he or she can try to sponsor their parents for citizenship.”(Kopan), in other words, they are creating “anchor babies”(Navarrette). This issue has only irritated Republicans, Democrats mindset is the more the minority, the better for us. People want to come to the United States for a better life, any way possible. The issue stems from illegal immigrant or illegal aliens instead of legal aliens. There was a CBS News poll on illegal immigration and the 14th Amendment, which seems the population is divided in half. Then, fifty-nine percent of Democrats believe it should stay while fifty-four percent of Republicans believe it should be changed. Also, seventy-seven percent of the population think there should be a refinement on illegal immigration(Codon). Though in the poll of the population, it does not specify who was polled? and where? This controversy is still being highly

Should the government play a key role in aiding the uninsured, or should market forces reign supreme?

Health care should not be considered a political argument in America; it is a matter of basic human rights. Something that many people seem to forget is that the US is the only industrialized western nation that lacks a universal health care system. The National Health Care Disparities Report, as well as author and health care worker Nicholas Conley and Physicians for a National Health Program (PNHP), strongly suggest that the US needs a universal health care system. The most secure solution for many problems in America, such as wasted spending on a flawed non-universal health care system and 46.8 million Americans being uninsured, is to organize a national health care program in the US that covers all citizens for medical necessities.

Universal health care is a valuable service and should be available in all countries. In many countries millions of people suffer from not having access to healthcare they deserve or not being able to pay for the healthcare they need. In the states alone, an estimated 50 million people do not have insurance because of the inability to pay for it. Universal health care would be beneficial to all countries because it would not exclude anyone from getting the necessary help, it would prevent the insurance companies from denying care, and it would contribute to preventative care to take place.

American democracy is, understandably, the most idealized form of government within our country, and for good reason. There are components of democracy that are necessary to a healthily functioning nation, but these are far more widely discussed than the problems with American democracy, which need to be acknowledged so that they might be improved upon. Rather than trying to hide the metaphorical chinks in democracy's armor, we should be striving to fix them. One of the largest problems with democracy in the United States is its current system of healthcare, which not only fails to provide insurance coverage to all Americans, but also provides more privilege to the wealthy, who have access to higher quality healthcare. Implementing universal healthcare would greatly improve American

I believe everyone deserves to be given free healthcare if they can not afford it. Plenty of people are dying because we don’t have coverage for everyone.More people are needing universal healthcare and we should be able to give it to those in need.This is making us look so bad to other countries. We should care for everyone who lives in our country even if we don’t know each other. None one should ever be left behind to suffer or see other people suffer from something that can be easily cured. Healthcare would save tons of lives, keep our nation whole, and make everyone strong again.

My name is Nur Syahirah Bt Muhammad Shah. I feel so glad to be here today. Firstly, I would like to ask you a question, did you know how many people suffered from the illness because not getting healthcare?

Socially speaking, immigrants may find themselves feeling excluded from a society with organizations and perceptions that generalize them as illegal aliens who disrupt and complicate social institutions, instead of being a contributing part of society. Immigrants may feel constantly fearful of the federal and state governments’ influence on the undocumented community, which leads to how divided politics has been on the issue. Many argue for immigration reform while others have turned down the idea entirely. Much of the stigma on immigrants involves their place of origin or religion being associated with such acts as terrorism, drug smuggling, and general violence. This allows those who are against immigration reform, the ability to argue for
