"Citizenship belongs to a person wherever they are born," said Katherine Cullion, an attorney with the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund, a Latino rights group. "The most basic, fundamental right is the right to citizenship in the country where you were born."Actually the U.S. is one of very few countries which grant citizenship just on the basis of having been born within its borders. Perhaps this woman should focus her attention on all those countries that already fail to recognize what she claims is a "basic, fundamental right".

Most of Latin America recognizes citizenship for those born within the national borders to foreign nationals. When I was in Costa Rica, a major complaint was about Nicaraguan anchor babies.
