Kids Born to Illegals are US Citizens
They Shouldn't Be Allowed Citizenship
Should the offspring of illegal immigrants born in the United States become automatic citizens or should their citizenship be that of the illegal parents? Elaborate further, should the US constitution be changed to address this loophole?

I don't think anyone born in this country should be considered an American citizen unless the womb they came out of belongs to an American citizen. Period.

Although I feel sorry for the children and it's not their fault the parents are illegal, they should not be legal once born. No, the constitution should not be changed to accommodate illegals.

While I don't currently have an educated opinion on whether or not the constitution should be altered to address this problem I will say that these kids SHOULD NOT be US citizens.
I'm very hesitant to let today's lawmakers do anything whatsoever to the US constitution. One might even argue that if the federal government did their job of enforcing immigration laws there wouldn't be an issue with kids being born to illegals.
According to Fox News:
"House Minority Leader John Boehner on Sunday said he's open to talks on changing the U.S. Constitution -- or at least the way it's interpreted -- so that U.S.-born children of illegal immigrants are not automatically U.S. citizens."

Again, I'm not crazy about any of these idiots in Washington touching the constitution but I would like to see them enforce laws that are already on the books.
