What a GREAT idea !!! That would put a crimp in most of the female illegals coming here and birthing dozens of babies. I think they're under the impression that the more babies they have on American soil the safer they are from being deported. HA.

Let them come here LEGALLY and have their babies.

They should pass it and make it retroactive about 25 years.

Go for it.

Stop whining, and actually go make this happen.

Neither Morse nor de Vattel were correct.

You know this.

Remember the United States Supreme Court.

It depends on the country.

But for most they would be foreign born dual citizens.

And you are absolutely wrong about the clergy.

Under American law, that already could never happen.

Then that country can pass a law to take care of that and it would require no treaty nor any change in the US Constitution.

This is nothing more than a strawman argument.



this statement shows exactly the ongoing racist comments through this thread.

You do realize that many of them do not simply come from Mexico right? What about Costa Rica? Nicaragua ? Cuba? chile? Armenian Immgirants? North Koreans? Russians? china?

Immigrants come to America from all over the world; yet all I see in this thread is "$$#%#$% the Mexicans"
ilegal is ilegal
they all need to go away
