My view:

If you are in this country as a legal immigrant (with a visa) then your children born here are citizens. If you're on vacation with just a passport, or illegally here, too bad, so sad, bye bye.

how about we just change it to be birt citizenship when LEGALLY present. As a matter of public safety and policy to discourage illegal entry then only legal entrants may claim citizenship.

In addition illegals who seek to say because of a hardship reason, can not become citizens for 10 years instead of the present five.

>>>>At least in the House, a consensus is emerging to secure our borders, increase worksite enforcement and, now, revoke birthright citizenship.

Sounds good but talk is cheap. Time for some action.

I do not have problem with every baby born here being a citizen but I think that the child returns to the country of origin of the mother and when the child turns eighteen they can come back or not.

I'm assuming there would be an exception for orphans. Can't go throwing babies out of the country if there isn't someone to catch them on their way out.

One of the few politicians I would actually vote for, given the chance. Bush and Co. have turned me away from trusting ANY politician of any party. Speaking of which, gotta go fill out my 14th response to the RNC request for money - they don't seem to get the hint!

I don't think that solves the problem...

From the article...
"Obviously this creates a tremendous incentive to (ILLEGALLY) rush into the country (JUST) to birth children. We’ve seen the millions who risk their lives ( and, at the same time, risk the lives of our Border Patrol personnel) and spend their savings for the chance to work in this country, let alone gain citizenship...."

"...By some estimates, there are more than 350,000 births in the U.S. each year to illegal aliens and in some places such as Los Angeles County, babies born to non-citizens make up a majority of all live births. As each of those families cuts in line, they further degrade the legitimacy of our immigration system.   Lawbreakers should not be rewarded, and we should not continue the destructive policy of birthright citizenship."
