"I was shocked when I found out. I had always heard that at least one parent had to be an American citizen. That is one
bill I would really get behind! I found that an affront as someone can sneak across the border illegally, have their child
on US soil and that child is a citizen."
It is an affront indeed. End this one thing and end chain migration (where adult relatives of an immigrant can get sponsored without limit) and the 'flood' of immigrants would dry up.

I might be mistaken on this but the child has to be a certain age (18 I think) before he/she can request citizenship for the parents. Of course, that does not preculde the fact that I do not think children of illegals should qualify for education but imagine deporting them and facing the wrath of the ACLU and the rest of the liberals calling us racist, bigoted and all the rest....
