Does our nation have the right to apply our citizenship to the children of those foreigners that are here for a brief stay, I contend that we do not have that right when they are here on a special visa that protects their citizenship IE: a diplomatic, student, or tourist visa, because their intent on visiting our nation is not to become a citizen of it.

So you're saying the U.S. does not have the right to set our own citizenship standards?

I’m saying that our nation does not have the right to force citizenship on those that don’t legally ask for citizenship.

You know my position on this,Those that are here illegally have no right to claim citizenship for themselves or their offspring, those that are here on a temporary visa are making no attempt to become citizens and should not have US citizenship granted to their offspring.

In both cases it is a question if they willing submit to the legal process by which this country grants citizenship for them and their children born here. Only in the case of an abandoned child, should natural born citizenship be granted when the child is obviously an illegal alien.
