I think in the long run this is a great idea, Congress should have the power to restrict birthright citizenship to children of citizens and permanent residents of the US. See http://www.heritage.org/Research/Reports/2005/12/Birthright-Citizenship-and-the-Constitution
However there are many issues more important and less derisive in the short run. Many people who have a superficial understanding of the issues will see this in a very negative light. WE SHOULD LOOK TO OTHER ISSUES FIRST. This will be used against us in the 2010 election and if I was the opposition I would hope that this gets nationwide attention.

Arizona's existence and safety are threatened. They will have no security or state if they don't take a strong stand now. Strictly enforcing immigrations laws is the prevailing attitude in the country given other states are considering similar legislation. Those who oppose illegal immigration and believe in upholding existing federal immigration laws are in the majority. Timidity in the past has brought us to where we are currently. Now is the time to pour it on.

If ever there was an issue that conservatives should stand firm on, this is it. Throw the invaders out should be hammered long and loud.
