Quote:
Concerns about illegal immigration last year spurred some Republicans to call for a debate over birthright citizenship, and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said last year he was considering proposing a constitutional amendment so that children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants would not automatically be citizens.


I'm actually not sure how I feel about this. Wouldn't this just increase the number of illegal immigrants, thus make the problem worse?

I do believe it's cheating to impregnate yourself, then run over here to have your baby on American soil as a cheap grasp at citizenship. I like the idea behind the bill, I'm just not sure what positive effect it will have.

The way this bill is right now tries to solve the problem in a pretty ineffective way.

I don't think this is an attempt to solve the problem so much as an attempt to get rid of a s*** policy
I mean, even if there's still tons of aliens here, at least now we aren't forced to grant them citizenship the moment they let some pimp get them pregnant.
