State Lawmakers Outline Plans to End Birthright Citizenship, Drawing Outcry

      Legislators are calling for the end the automatic granting of American citizneship to children born in the United States of illegal immigrants. Legislators want to pass state laws that would create two tiers of citizens, a modern-day caste system." Presented was a bill creating a new definition of state citizenship, in addition to national citizenship, which would exclude babies born in the state with two illegal immigrant parents. Issue distinctive birth certificates to babies whose parents could not show legal immigration status. Deny citizenship to newborn children of hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants who live in the United States on temporary visas. The 14th amendment guaranteed citizenship to everyone born or naturalized in this country "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof". Guarantee citizenship to the American-born children of freed slaves.

     
      I have mixed feelings about the birthright citizenship. Article The New York Times(http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/06/us/06immig.html). A child whose parents move here legally must take a citizenship test. There is no guaranteed citizenship
