While children of illegal aliens are currently considered to be US
citizens, perhaps it's time to amend the law (retroactively) to
exclude the children of those who cross the US border ILLEGALLY from
that right.

It's the children's fault?

If the US immigration law hadn't been broken by the parents, their
children would have been born outside the US, and been ineligible for
immediate US citizenship. To reward criminal conduct is unjust (with
the apparent exception of the Bush administration).

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.


Who wrote that? Is the lady with the lamp who graces the entrance to
New York harbor a French-horse? :-)

I believe the US has absorbed its share of immigrants over the
centuries.

It is anachronistic, negligent, perhaps reckless, and definitely
irresponsible for the world's leading nation to fail to appreciate the
necessity of controlled and documented movement across its borders.
