What Makes an American?
by Michelle Malkin
(July 4, 2003)
The custom of granting automatic citizenship at birth to children of tourists and temporary workers such as Hamdi, tourists, and to countless 'anchor babies' delivered by illegal aliens on American soil, undermines the integrity of citizenship -- not to mention national security.

McVeigh and the Death Penalty
by Thomas Sowell
(July 18, 2001)
Sometimes those who oppose capital punishment talk about "the sanctity of human life." The issue of capital punishment comes up only because the murderer has already violated the sanctity of human life. Are we to say that his life has more sanctity than the life or lives he has taken? Mercy to the guilty is cruelty to the innocent.
