RETURN TO SENDER/ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

[Blindgreed1]

I'm certain this will shock you, but I think the parents of an anchor baby should be required to obtain citizenship within 5 years of the birth in order to stay.

That's an interesting idea.

I wish the knuckleheads in Congress would start working together on immigration reform, including a clear path to citizenship which would make something like what you're suggesting fair and feasible.

So, what about the babies Gunnar? If something like what you're suggesting is adopted, do you think the children should continue to be considered citizens upon birth, or do you think the children's citizenship should be tied to the mother's/parent's citizenship?

The child was born on American soil. I think you'd have a hard time changing the child's citizenship without causing more confusion regarding citizenship and the 14^th. However, that doesn't mean that the parents who failed to gain legal citizenship can't return to their native country with their American baby and seek dual citizenship for their American baby in their native country.
