Arizona bill would deny citizenship to children of illegal immigrants

[Smittie61984]

I can't agree with this law. But if someone comes across the U.S. illegally and downloads a kid then the kid can either become the state's kid and the mother/father go home or they can take their kid back to Mexico/Canada/Mordor/etc if they denounce their child's citizenship.

That would make things interesting.

This. I don't think it's necessary to deny the kid citizenship, but I do think that kid is absolutely NOT an excuse for the parents to stay. The kid is a citizen, so he/she can stay here, but the parents need to GTFO and come in the legal way. If the parents don't want to be separated from the baby, that's cool- they can take it with them.

Of course, I also think it's high time the US starts billing the Mexican government for all the hospital bills racked up by its citizens.
