plus 1,000

What other countries do this? Automatic citizenship even though the parents aren't citizens? Perhaps they could give birth here but, then their children are not citizens and they have to pay the hospital bill.

It has got to stop.

Plus 2,000.
This type of shit, makes me (a Democrat) seriously consider voting for Trump.

+1001. This was obviously not something our forefathers thought of when drafting the Constitution. Travel was slow and arduous back then and once you were here, you were likely to stay. As much as I dislike Trump, I am considering voting for him for immigration. Our policies have to change.

Do you feel this way about the Second Amendment as well?

New poster here. I feel this way about both.

It shouldn't. There are way more important things to vote on. This might qualify as a "peeve," at best.

I'm a hard left liberal and I think it's an egregious loophole. That said, when they come here via airplanes and pay cash for their birth (plus a few months of recovery time), they are the type of immigrants we actually want to attract to the US - upper middle class, entrepreneurial, etc. Also, their kids will need to pay U.S. taxes on their global earnings if they wish to continue holding their citizenship. Even if they've never lived in the U.S. for one day. U.S. citizenship is NOT free.

Careful, people are now going to tell you that it's discriminatory and elitist for a country to select the kind of immigrants it wants, and that immigration should be a human right.

Us Marines will need to protect / extract these kids( who might not have spent more than the month they were born on US soil) in foreign lands. They can vote at 18. Is citizenship bought so cheap? With an airplane ticket?

What??!!! No, most US citizens don't even get extracted by Marines unless they are part of the US Mission. Jaysus. Where do people come up with this sh*t?

US is sending a contingent of Marines to South Sudan today to extract personnel, secure facilities and evacuate any US citizens wishing to leave. You know what's sad to me -you are happy to give away the privilege of citizenship and yet ignorant of the rights and responsibilities attached.

This is legal immigration. People always scream that illegal immigrants should just follow the rules and enter legally. Well, this is one way to do so.

If you are of the opinion that our laws are great and just need to be enforced then you should welcome this.

The illegal part is that people enter illegally or stay illegally to take advantage of this.

Exactly. What is Hillary's plan? Have no borders?
