Citizenship is a federal issue. It is outside the jurisdiction of the States. The State of Arizona should not be trying to alter citizenship requirements.

"Citizenship is a federal issue. It is outside the jurisdiction of the States. The State of Arizona should not be trying to alter citizenship requirements."

They're not - they are simply stating if there is no proof of concurring citizenship on the part of the parent, they will not issue a birth certification to a child as a citizen of that state. If, then, it's a Fed issue, the Fed can issue a birth certification, which puts the illegal parent in closer contact with the CORRECT enforcement authority.

I think my about page may have been read by someone from Arizona...;-)

Why not, it would make a good court case for review of the 14th which was wrongly decided before.
