Default Phyllis Schlafly

Very rarely would I have any agreement with Phyllis Schlafly. After all, she campaigned against the Equal Rights Amendment; stated that "maritial rape" was not possible because by getting married, the woman had consented to sex and you could not call it rape; and even complained that Richard Nixon was too liberal on social issues, such as desegregating the South.

However, in today's Daily Sun (The Happy Times Gazette), Schlafly did write an article on "anchor babies" that was very good. The idea - and practice - of illegal immigrants coming to America to have a baby so the child can have US citizenship and benefits is just plain wrong. I discussed this with my wife, Mrs. Tbugs, and she agreed that someone illegally coming to the US just for the purpose of having a baby on American soil should not have the baby be a US citizen automatically. She then said if an illegal was in the US for a long time and had a baby, that was a different story and that baby should be a US citizen. I totally disagree. Illegal is illegal - it means "the person is breaking the law". At least one parent, in my opinion - and Schafly's opinion - must be a US citizen.

By the way, the picture of Phyllis Schlafly in the Daily Sun is way out of date. She is 86 years old.
