We have really come a long way, since JFK was pronounced dead there, Parkland hospital reports tha 70% of the births there are to illegal aliens. I heard this from a local talk show host in Phila. He is heading to El Paso and the border this coming week, to broadcast his show live from the border. He stated 72%, so I checked and here is what I found. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1962723/posts Edited by retiredLEO, Jul 11 2009, 05:46 PM.

If your kid is born here he/she gets US citizenship. That's an option I would go for were I from overseas. So, if we don't want this, we need to revise or clarify our Constitution on what the grounds for birthright citizenship are. |

Q, I think we need to clarify it, but if it takes a Constitutional amendment, I am for it. |

I don't believe it has always been that being born here of illegal parents was automatic citizenship. It seems as if it has changed in the past few years (25-50)? Does anybody know better? It seems insane to me for this to be happening this way. |

How right you are, if you are a pregnant female illigally crossing the border and get caught, what happens? The border guard call an ambulance, and if you give birth in the ambulance, you child in now a US citizen. That doesn't and never did sound right to me. We are losing our country slowly, but surely. |

IIRC this goes back to the 19th century, to make sure that children of former slaves were citizens. Before that children of visiting ambasadors, etc were not citizens. Currently in CAlifornia, even if the parents are illegal, their us kids get all sorts of freebies until they turn 18. It used to be that the family would be returned to its country of origin and the kid could return at age 18. |

I just want to know why, if you manage to get across the border pregnant, give birth within minutes, even in the middle of the desert, your child is now a US citizen? As far as I am concerned they gov't needs to set standards. Just look at our President, we really don't know where he was born. |
