Because the definition of "Natural Born Citizen" is not as concrete as you might think legally. Additionally, it's not the courts who dictates who can run, it's the FEC, which is essentially beholdened to regulatory capture.

Probably for the same reason Hillary is still running.

Do you guys not understand the meaning of the word amnesty, or do you just not care? For instance, the proposals that all people who are currently here illegally would have to come forward, pay a fine, and then get in at the back of the line for people waiting to get naturalized are not "amnesty", because they would actually impose a penalty on the people who are here illegally. Deporting people is not the only possible punishment for them entering the country illegally, and it is also much more expensive to us to do that that it would be to fine people and then let them stay (as long as they haven't broken other laws).

It would cost more than 6 Trillion? Funny how liberals all of a sudden care about the budget when the wall or deportation is mentioned.
Money isn't even the most important factor, the demographic change is. These illegals vote overwhelmingly in favor of gun control, hate speech laws, and bigger government. The founding fathers are just dead racist white guys to them.

Serisouly just curious, most Mexican I know love guns.

It is Amnesty. Paying a small fine? so what. People pay a ton of money to come here legally. They are not going to the "back of the line" they are staying in the country. Back of the line are the people NOT in America waiting to come here.

This shit right here is why Trump is polling in the near 40's in a big ass republican field. Why? Hilary has 1 opponent. She's only a few points ahead on her side of the isle and she only has 1 opponent. Trump is polling at 39-41 and he's got so many opponents that they have to have two debates each time to hold them all. In a field this huge nearly 60% of the Republican polled are openly declared for the two guys who are telling the GOP to go fuck themselves.
I contend the problem isn't the base. The problem is the GOP. It should have been massively fucking evident during the Tea Party revolt. These shit heads aren't going to get it until some Trump or Cruz operative shows up to start picking out drapes for their offices.
Also, NPR took about 1.2 seconds to start running with this in every single news segment they could squeeze it into. What shit heal in a suit REALLY thought they were going to slip that by anyone?

Who would down vote this?! It's important information! This shows the Republicans being caught red handed. It's very very very important information. It shows that they clearly are trying to deceive the American people.

"...to protect our nation, defend our borders, offer a permanent and human solution to those who live in the shadows..."
um, am i only one seeing that that could imply a lot of reallly, horrible dark shit? because that is extremely vague.
It is vague, but a few days back, someone posted a video of a 1980 Reagan - Bush debate and they both expressed a need for a proper immigration policy. One that didn't leave children and families who are already here without a way to work and receive education. Maybe if current policy makers expressed things more specifically, we wouldn't be stuck here wondering if they just mean outright amnesty. God forbid they be explicit and offend somebody! That might make people dislike the Republican party! Yet we're already over here saying fuck the Republicans, anyway. Weak, pandering oligarchs.
