Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham has criticized the GOP on not taking a stronger stance on citizenship and immigration. She went even further and said on radio that she thinks that the 14th amendment's citizenship clause should be repealed in order to prevent illegal immigrants from illegally crossing into the U.S. and having children on American soil, thus automatically making them U.S. citizens.
Personally, I believe that the citizenship clause should be modified in order to deal with the illegal immigration in this country. I believe that only children of U.S. citizens should be granted citizenship, not just anyone who has a child in this country just so that they can live here. If people want to live in this country, they should go through the proper immigration process and then become naturalized.
If only children of U.S. citizens were allowed to be citizens, then there would just be more illegal citizens. Personally, I don't about immigrants as long as they are legal. There is no reason for me to want them out.
ReplyDeleteI understand that illegal immigrant want to be apart of our country; however, they should go through the proper process to become citizens. They also should not be benefiting from Us government programs if they are not American.
ReplyDeleteWhile it's easy to say they should 'just go through the process', for Mexico, that process can take more than a decade. If your wife's pregnant, are you going to have the baby be born in America and become a citizen right away or wait until they're a teenager who has been exposed to the gang violence, drugs, ect. in Mexico?
