My desire for illegal immigration to drop in no way impacts my desire for legal immigration to expand. the way to have illegal immigration drop is to first and foremost improve immigration policies and ways that immigrants can legally immigrate.. That's what I support (note the part of my post you quoted that I've highlighted).

quote: If their very presence here is a crime rewarding them with citizenship does seem a bit irrational. What seems to be irrational is your passion against those who commit this particular misdemeanor. While remaining silent about the felony that those who hire them commit.

When they fought the men they usually got their clock cleaned.

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub I think today this needs to be just the opposite... I would limit immigration to those with needed skills... those with fiscally responsible US citizen relatives or sponsors and no one else. Butch Which needed skills would those be?

quote: ORIGINAL: kdsub I think the fastest way...is to remove the reason they are coming. All it would take would be strict penalties for hiring illegals. Say 20 years with no parole. After a few examples employers would not hire illegals and without jobs there would be no reason to come here... No need for expensive walls and immigration agents. Then with the remove of birthrights and requirements for needed skills for legal immigrants our troubles will be over. Our young people will again have decent entry level jobs and the welfare burden will be reduced... bah Humbug... yes eliminate the excess illegal population. Butch The current penalties are much stiffer why would you want to lower them? It has already been discussed...somewhere between 5 and 10 thousand per worker and five years per worker.

quote: Minor children of parents who were not citizens at the time of the child's birth can gain citizenship when the parents gain citizenship. The parents wouldn't be "renouncing" the child's citizenship, because citizenship hasn't been determined yet. The child becomes a citizen at birth. When the child reaches the age of majority and can afford to sponsor the parents they can be brought in. Then of course there is the question of why the parents would want to renounce the child's U.S. citizenship?

Your statement was that: "the child is usually considered a US Citizen, not a citizen of the country of birth." The countries I named and many others confer citizenship at birth whether you like or not. My point was that your statement was factually incorrect. Not that the U.S. should follow any other country in it's immigration policies.

I find it astonishing that you can harbor such passionate feelings about a subject that you admittedly have virtually no knowledge of. You do not know how many Mexicans are allowed to legally immigrate to the U.S. You do not know the qualifications for their entry. You do not know the penalty for hiring an illegal alien. You do not know the laws concerning what constitutes the different classes of illegal aliens. Why is this? Are you not interested in serious discussion? I realize there are some here who are content to trade insults. I did not think you were one of them.

Necessarily the baby was born here. If the parents acquire status before the child is of majority it does not change the child's status as a citizen.

You said the opinions of those who wrote the amendment were not relevant...only the printed words on the paper were necessary to understand the document. Now, if you wish to change your mind and bring in this individuals opinion then we must also bring in the other 240 odd individuals who created this document. quote: Wait. I'm wrong. I'm sure you understand. You just won't agree. I certainly understand what you are saying and I am disagreeing with it.
