Two Republican senators have introduced a constitutional amendment that would prohibit the children of illegal immigrants from gaining automatic U.S. citizenship unless certain conditions are met.
The move by Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and David Vitter, R-La., follows a proposal in Arizona challenging the constitutional right known as "birthright citizenship."
Under U.S. law, anybody born on U.S. soil is considered a citizen. The proposal in Congress would amend the Constitution so that children born in the United States are only considered automatic citizens if one parent is a U.S. citizen, one parent is a legal immigrant, or one parent is an active member of the Armed Forces. They could also follow the traditional naturalization process to attain citizenship.

LIBERTY CANNOT BE TRAMPLED ANY LONGER by SOCIALISTS WHO HAVE RUN RAMPANT AND HAVE BEGUN TO RUN OUR GREAT COUNTRY TO THE GROUND. LIBERTY EQUALS RESPONSIBILITY TO RULE OF LAWS ACCORDING TO OUR GREAT REPUBLIC TO WHICH WE STAND.
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL BY RAY CHARLES
"... It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings."....I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
