Birthright Citizenship

The latest great idea from the anti-immigrant crusaders, not granting citizenship to people born in this country to people who are here illegally, is a presposterously bad idea. The lack of birthright citizenship, or in the case of France a somewhat weaker version of it, is part of why the native/immigrant relationships are so screwed up in parts of Europe. Of course, this country has its own reasons for screwed up immigrant/native relationships but we don't need to import a whole bunch of new ones.

I guess that pesky 14th amendment still drives them crazy:

1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.
