Sponsors say goal is to force a court ruling that a child born in the U.S. is a citizen only if either parent is a U.S. citizen or a legal immigrant.

"......or a legal immigrant" that will be a point of contention if passed. To me it says that if a person is here on a seasonal work visa to work on a farm and they have a child, the child will be an American citizen. I say delete that part of the text altogether or better yet - add "and" as a conjunction. ".....If one parent is an American citizen AND the other is here legally....." That would certainly thin the herd.
ReplyDeleteI commend the states that are affirming their soveriegnty as well as those who take it upon themselves to address issues upon which the federal government are failing to act.
