. Why do we have a law that says that any baby born here is automatically a citizen, even if the parents are illegal immigrants?
2. Why is there no movement to change this law?
I don't know but if I find the answer I'll ping you two. In answer to #2, I know Tancredo is the most "HONEST" of all in Congress regarding doing something. I would strongly advise anyone to reject anything that doesn't have his approval. He has been trying to actually make serious changes. Not
"just put lipstick on the pig" (what he calls the answer from the White House and those with business ties who are coming up with BullS*it reforms).
Tancredo is one of the co-sponsors for the bill.
