================================
A bill recently introduced in Congress would deny U.S. citizenship to children born to illegal immigrants.
Supporters said the bill, called the Citizenship Reform Act of 2005, would be a good way to control the number of people who have the right to claim citizenship ---- and the rights and benefits that come with it.
Opponents said the measure was "extreme" and would be likely to face constitutional challenges.
It should be be constitutional for the same reason that the death penalty for those under 18 is unconstitutional, international opinion. The US is the only country in the world to confer citizenship upon birth within its borders. The other countries of the world only recognize the citizenship of the parent(s). What's good for the goose, Justice Kennedy, is good for the gander.
"Opponents said the measure was "extreme" and would be likely to face constitutional challenges."
Gee thats tough..too bad they are criminal invaders, huh??
I have been saying this for a long time and about time people got on board. Why should a child born in this Country to "anyone" not a citizen have a United States citizenship? I don't draw the line at just illegals -- I say all children born of foreign parents should not be automatic US citizens.
Uhhh....that circular logic goes right over my head.

A NATIONAL DRIVE FOR IMMIGRATION REFORM-
Hold Their Feet to the Fire XI with Roger Hedgecock - April 23- 28, 2005
EVERY American citizen should be the fruit of a LEGAL American citizen. Only children of people who came here legally should ever be granted citizenship rights. That's common sense. You take the oath, you get in. You don't, you don't.
