This is so incredibly stupid to nitpick over someone saying that it will likely take a constitutional amendment to change it to being open to either that or using legislation if it can make it through the courts.
Why don't we talk about a MAJOR FLIP FLOP such as being in favor of allowing the STABBING of babies in the neck and sucking out their brains just before they are born to somehow being pro-life.
There are 300,000 children born to illegal aliens annually. In addition there is birth tourism that brings in thousands annually to have their children in the US thus receiving US citizenship at birth. They are issued US passports and them return home. It is an insurance policy for the family.
This is not a minor issue. The children of illegal aliens as American citizens are entitled to food stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance, etc.
