When the constitution was written, the founding fathers realized that there might be need to amend it. Not through judicial mis-application or ignoring it, but by letter-law change to it.
I would like to see a change to how people are granted citizenship.
The coincidental timing (although MANY illegals cross so the timing is NOT accidental) of a birth when on vacation or simply stopping on a layover to another local should not be cause to hand out citizenship.
I would like the constitution to read something like this:
Children born within the boundries of US lands and territories will have the same status as their biological parents. If one parent is of a legal status, and one is not, then the child will be granted the greater status, subject to the same requirements as any other alien. If one parent is a citizen and one is not, the child will be a natural born citizen.
Would you agree and support an amendment like this one?

Very interesting! I think you need to approach you state congressman and submit the idea to him/her. Sounds very reasonable to me.

the U.

yes, i would agree on that. I do agree that if a child is born to a couple where 1 parent is legal, one is not, the child WOULD be granted as an American citizen.

Suppose that one parent, through what ever event is not part of the family unit, how would you rate that child?
The issue is that thousands of people, of whom I don't believe the population hates directly, but indirectly, because their method or route to obtaining citizenship may have a short cut applied to it.
If you are in line for something and I jump in front of you, how would you feel???
