Did you see this?
"Gallegly also is putting together a package of bills aimed at curbing illegal immigration, his spokesman Thomas Pfeifer said.
The legislation, still being worked on, includes measures to track Social Security numbers; a bill making it a felony for deportable illegal immigrants to fail to attend removal proceedings; and one taking aim at so-called "anchor babies" by requiring that at least one parent be a citizen or legal resident for a child born in the U.S. can be a citizen.
Also making immigration a day-one priority is Rep. Ken Calvert, R-Corona. Calvert is submitting legislation he pushed last year making a currently voluntary program by which employers verify the eligibility of their workers into a mandatory one. "
There is more, but this is most of it.
What do you think?

Jeff, I think the Supreme Court specifically reserved the question of children of illegals in a prior case. I suspect this is to force a determination of that issue.

I have not done my research on this one. But I will.
But if Kennedy actually did sign on to anything that I agreed with I would be surprised. Are you sure that there isn't something buried in there some where that would s**** us over? :)
I love the sound of this bill.
It is about time the politicians listened to the voice of the people, if they want to be elected....I will not vote for any politician who does not speak out on illegal immigration.

the McCain/Kennedy bill should get re-introduced. It never became law, because the house immigration bill and the senate one were so different, they couldn't find an acceptable form for both. It would pass both houses this time, I would think.
By the way, the anchor babies provision would be unconstitutional. amendment 14 to the United States Constitution.

I have to admit that anchor babies are probably my biggest beef with illegal aliens.
