Who thinks birthright citizenship is a mistake?
Giving this some thought it seems to me that several things could happen....the worst of the bunch is that a kid is born in this country to ''illegals' could find himself totally screwed simply by existing. Give this a think! Forty years p. Now we have an adult who finished college, did his military service, started a business, married, had a couple of kids and one day out of nowhere government agents arrest him, put him on a plane for let's say Vietnam or Lower Slobolia with just the clothes on his back and no knowledge of the language of his 'home country'. Something is wrong with that picture...we could lose a decent guy who for all practical considerations is as American as you or me. We simply can't simplify this situation humanely by simply 'ping a law'. I suspect the only way to deal with this is to deport all illegals who've been here for less than five years, are single and have no dependent children first....no screwing around with this group...just do it. Longer term illegals with school age children need to be handled differently...exactly how is a good question. Next is to actually sanction employers who employ illegals with jail terms....again...no screwing around...just do it. Remove the incentive to come here in the first place. Next actually secure the border with federal troops.....preferably using a beefed up Coast Guard as the Coast Guard is technically under the Dept. of Homeland Security, not the Department of Defense....using federal troops for law enforcment is technically illegal unless certain conditions are met....that would legally be a hard sell...why bother with it if you don't have to? Next we should clear the prisons of all the illegals possible....after that we're pretty much out of humane options. A simple fix like changing the 14th Amendment by itself would be no more effective than anything we have now....We need real solutions even if they're not perfect solutions or as in the above only partial solutions.
