So if they were born to illegal aliens even 50, 40, 30, 20, 10 years ago (or even 1 year ago) you are saying that they never had citizenship in the first place or that they should have it stripped away from them if they have papers that say they are a U.S. citizen?

In fact, they didn't. Their parents considered citizenship here so valuable that they stole it. And they had the use of it for quite a while, which nobody can take away from them, or even wants to. But we're a nation (almost as sovereign as Mexico . . .) and we have to protect our own citizens first—otherwise, we can't take care of others, either, because we won't exist.

If we let an infinite number of (for example) Mexicans or Guatemalans in permanently, we become the country they ran away from!

How about denying citizenship to anyone born to illegal aliens within the borders of the United States after the passage of Simpson-Mazolli.

Seems fair to me since Amnesty has been offered. "You were here when we granted amnesty, fine. You came after that door closed, you missed your opportunity."
