No so.

Canada and Israel do that as well.

I think the British Empire does as well. My Niece has dual citizenship and she was born in the USA.

I don't understand how "logistically" the "anchor baby" situation works with *no US citizen parents*.
How does that work, logistically?
Does the kid have to get a passport? Or does he just have his "citizenship" when his parents have to leave?

So we've got little U.S. citizens, who are promptly "deported" from the country by their parents? Capable of exerting no real U.S. citizenship until they grow up?

It seems (to me) at the minimum you have to require at least one parent with U.S. citizenship.

My view, for what it's worth, is, "the status of the MOTHER is the status of the child"
The immigration debate will need to be resolved sooner or later, and I believe the US can't afford to ignore the negative impact that illegals have on the economy.
Once that decision has been then you can't muddy the water with issue about the status of children.

Exactly...

The child shouldn't be granted the benefits of the "host" country simply because the mother is there through illegal means...

What you are speakin of is simply called racial discrimination. The time it is against Hipanics but if there was surge of people from Wales then this could turn against the Welsh. Discrimination picks and chooses who can be Americans and who can't for negative reasons. It is pure Bull Shit.

This is why birthright citizenship needs to be changed.

We are discerning, not discriminating.
We as a society wish to limit the amount of people coming here, not the type.
As evidenced by the fact no one says much about Japanese or South Africans (the white Afrikaners came here in droves); legal=good. Illegal=bad!

But if we find the neghative aspects hurt America more than helps it (which I believe it does), then you're advocating the CONTINUATION of the present during the investigation...

There should be a freeze instead...Stop ALL illegal immigration first and see where the country stands...
