Reps. Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.), Ken Calvert (R-Calif.), John Campbell (R-Calif.), and Duncan Hunter (R-Calif.) have cosponsored the Birthright Citizenship Act of 2011 introduced by Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa). All four Members signed onto the bill shortly after it was introduced in the 112th Congress. The bill currently has 56 cosponsors and amends current U.S. code to require at least one parent to be a U.S. citizen or legal permanent resident for a new born to receive automatic citizenship.

Of course all those single illegal women will have a citizen named as the father. That loophole needs to be patched.

That's OK by me. If they name a citizen as father, then the state has someone to go after for child support. If he contests paternity, then the child loses US citizenship.
Hell, yes!!!!
