I still would like to see some contigencies on anchors that they must have a clean record prior to being granted full citizenship status at the age of 18.

There you go!

>must speak fluent english,

such as, voting, Political office,ect.
My 2 cents: I have always stated that any anchor baby born in the US to two illegal alien parents after the 1986 amnesty should NOT be grandfathered in and should automatically be considered citizens of their parents country of origin.
IMHO, The 14th Amendment should be abolished. I have always strongly felt that two illegal aliens are not capable of reproducing an American citizen.
ETA: tinman, I'd like to be the arbitrator of the punishments for any criminal acts perpetrated post illegal entry. As for my thoughts with regards to anchor babies, you already knew my answer

Citizenship must be "revokable"
3 Strikes and your out of here, and within 48hr's
No exceptions.
No Excuses,
No sob stories.
Case Closed!
Would anyone like to add to or edit that?
I fully and unequivocably agree with all of the above.
I have some heartburn with that; but, if it does become necessary to disenfranchise said Anchors, JDubsMom suggested the cutoff would be age 11 on down and grandfather the 12-17 YO's in as US citizens---------which I would support. Obviously; no new Anchor Babies would receive birthright citizenship.
Sorry, you must have me confused with someone else. I have never felt this way or made such a statement.

I would like the job of seeking out and destroying the tunnels illegals and drug smugglers use to enter our country.
