The 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America begins:

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

If you are human, and you are born here, you are a citizen, period.

For all they talk about small government and constitutional conservatism, the GOP are just as much big government idiocrats that Obama and his friends in the Democratic Party are.

"So they won't go on our welfare roles" is not a reason to deny our citizens their rights based on something their parents did. In a sane world, we'd just stop subsidizing poverty to begin with.

The gall of suggesting an unconstitutional measure to mitigate a small portion of the damage done by another unconstitutional measure is staggering.
