Because of Birth tourism, there is a very good chance the next voting majority will be young people whose mothers came to the USA to have their baby, then immediately took the brand new US citizen back to China, India, and Eastern Europe, perhaps to never return except to vote for political leaders. I was pleased to hear this issue is finally beginning to be addressed. At the time the law giving citizenship by right of birth was first given, no one could see a time when a woman in Asia or Europe could get on a plane, fly to Hawaii or NYC, have a baby, then go back ‘home’. Anchor babies, the infants born to women who waited on the Mexican side of the border until labor pains began, are a seperate problem and for me, not as urgent. The parents of anchor babies want a future in the USA and to become citizens themselves. The tour babies are much more sinister in motive and potential.Respectfully,C.
As an Independent, I want Latino and other immigrants to earn their living instead of getting handout from Dems. I love and support diversity, but I hate seeing illegals getting welfare and food stamps. They eat better than I do and I have a post graduate education and a decent, average job.
A coservative biggot? Wow what a suprise. Your kind is growing old and dying off. I could care less what the skin color of the majority is in the US, apart from what Ima thinks we are all Americans with the same protections and rights!!!
Stolen? You conservatives are nuts. Pres Obama won the electorial and popular vote, more than Bush did. where was your outrage that Bush stole the election? With all the right wing talk of supporting the constitution your comment just shows the rest of us you are just a partisan blowhard who could care less for our rules, laws and founding document. Who is suprised?.
Haha It would probably brought out the worst of the worst!! Good idea. A bit more subtile than saying the sky is blue to see what color they would say it was instead. Of course the sky is a wonderful ever changing piece of magnificence. Some times peach, yellowish, and often a combination of many different blues.And in tornado weather it really does go a shade of green.I would like to think that even the most rabid GOP would love their pets. Probably name them liberty, Freedom, and Liptons , .

You always had to learn English and American Civics to gain citizenship. This bill proposes the same for a green card.

Howie, you’re totally incoherent. Are you saying that the Republicans DIDN’T torpedo Bush and McCain’s immigration reform? Because they did.
