It is the correct response to this:

the DREAM Act, which provides a path to legalization to illegal immigrants who grew up and were educated in the United States.

From the linked article:

"Rand Paul (Ky.) and David Vitter (La.) are introducing a resolution this week that would amend the Constitution so that a person born in the United States could only become an American citizen if one or more of his or her parents is a legal citizen, legal immigrant or member of the armed forces, according to a joint press release Thursday."



This seems completely reasonable to me, particularly because those who don't become citizens by birth according to these standards can go through the regular legal channels to become citizens.


I DO wonder how some people will react to amending the Constitution - there's been a lot of noise lately about strict interpretation and such.

Way to go Rand Paul. By riding us of the illegals we will save a lot of money through less welfare to them as that is the reason they come here. Our childrens future will be helped by this.
