    The answer to illegal immigration is to stop giving away our citizenship to anyone whose mother (of any age) 11???? can run across the border and have a baby. That baby is no more an American citizen than the illegal mother. The 14th amendment was changed in the 1970's to allow this, and should be changed back to the original intent. If we would do this one thing, the illegal immigration would come to a screeching halt. We might still see people here illegally, but they would have to be self-supporting, which would be difficult. Cut the head off this mosnster, and the body will die. If they cannot self-support, they will self-deport.

      I personally live in southern California and see and talk to tons of illegal immigrants daily. Most of the people who come to this country come for a better life. They aren't here to exploit our system. Even if you have a child here, it doesn't make YOU a citizen it makes your child a citizen and most of these mothers come so their children can reap the benefit of the United States. I believe if you are born in America you are AMERICAN not Mexican or Irish or whatever it is. My grandma was an illegal German immigrant but my mother is a citizen, born and raised here. So am I by some ways an illegal person who hasn't emmigrated from anywhere? I don't understand how your logic makes any sense.
