It's called the 14th amendment.

I don't know why everyone keeps saying the OP only needs a lesson in English, because U.S. History would be of a great service also.

Intended for recently freed slaves, not illegals having babies on American soil.

Seems like you are the one who needs both.

Really? I'm so sorry if you are unable to read past the first two lines of the amendment.

"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."

I'm not deflecting. You are outraged that Colorado is changing its English curriculum to help students with limited English skills, insisting that it is only for the benefit of immigrants, but nearly every one of your posts points to you as the poster child for exactly the poor English skills that need to be addressed. It's really funny that you can't see it.

Instead its pushed on tax payers.

As is English for English speakers. My son, currently in the 9th grade, is taking English. It is a core class, meaning, that if he doesn't pass that class, he won't graduate. We have never spoken any language other than English in our home, and yet, he still has to take and pass an English class to graduate.

And, yes, at a cost to the taxpayers just like every other kid in every other public school in this country.
