Mr. Elbucko, however, insists on playing semantical games..

Finally, we get to Dr. Elbucko's..

Mr. Elproducto's

Why don't you grow up and use the proper tense in your replies instead of this childish gibberish.

Finally, we get to Dr. Elbucko's big beef--the 14th Amendment, which simple language has been properly interpreted [?] as meaning that if you're born in the USA you have a right [?] to US citizenship. It's an idea that most Americans believe to be just, given our nation's history and tradition as being a light of freedom for the world.

No, you're wrong, as usual. Most Americans do not belive the 14th Amendment empowers those immigrants, who are ILLEGALLY within the borders of the United States, to birth their children there and confer citizenship upon the issue.

No other country in the world allows such a situation. The child is the nationality of the parents. If the parents have immigrated legally, citizenship is not an open issue until the child is 18. Or, in other words, go drop your kids in Mexico, claim that they are Mexican citizens that empowers you, the parents, with permanent visa to remain in Mexico and see how far you get. Enjoy the Mexican jail, Gringo!

The childish gibberish started when you started calling people who didn't agree with you "ignorant." That's probably why Juanita left you, Mr. Elducko!

And it's so cute how you use the argument "none of the other countries do it!" to complain about some poor child being granted citizenship just because he was born in the USA.

America is different. The right to citizenship of those born here has become a principle of law, one that is unlikely to ever change. And I'll betcha that most Americans support that principle.
