I don’t care where they are from, if parents are here illegally there should be no citizenship for the children for simply being born here and I do not believe the framers of the Constitution had that intent. If parents are here legally- foreign student, work permit, etc. then I could see it, but not if they are illegally here. That is like saying if parents rob a bank their children can keep the money.

At some point we have to see the damage done to this country by birthright citizenship for children of illegals or we are doomed as a country. At some point we need to apply some common sense.

Deport the parents. Let the child go with them. The child keeps his citizenship. He can come back when she’s 18 and live in America.

That’s one solution.

Another is if the parents are willing to give the child up to a foster home and the child can stay here while the parents are deported.

I agree- it is a problem, and we shouldn’t be rewarding those who break the law. The child is innocent and did nothing to warrant her situation. We need to draw a distinction between the two while respecting the rights of the child to American citizenship.
