How do folks separate families? Kids born as citizens of the United States, but Mom and Dad are here illegally... Or like a Vietnamese co-worker who is NOT a US citizen said, her dad fought with the Americans in the Vietnam war... The Americans OWED him a decent life or livelihood. He brought his immediate family when the helicopters took off. They lived is SoCal refugee camps for the years they had them, then they eventually moved into an apartment complex... The kids attended school, became educated at US universities, just never became legal citizens...
Now, I ain't paying for a free ride ticket for someone to go back to Asia or any long distance location, including Mexico City... I'd rather go there myself...
So wouldn't it just be cheaper if we brought our Iraqi troops home for a bit, let them re-group, get the battle groups out there, invoke Manifest Destiny and have the Spanish American War again? That's the way it was done long time ago? We take back some of the lands we confiscated in the first place. We'd get rid of Castro and his bunch rather than waiting for him to die...
Oh yeah, I forgot, the UN would have problems with that... Countries like that are not allowed to invade other countries without going to the Hague... That's how WWII got started...

I don't quite understand your post.Your facts ae seriously distorted or is the post in jest?
There is a common misconception among the public that such citizenship is a Constitutional guarantee. The fact is that the constitutional question of whether the 14th amendment grants citizenship to children of foreigners born on U.S. soil was addressed by the Supreme Court over 100 years ago in the Slaughter House Cases and, again, in 1971 in the case of Rogers v. Bellei. All existing case law confirms that the Fourteenth Amendment does not automatically grant citizenship to the children of illegal immigrants
My father and many others fought
for the Viet Namese to keep their country from being overrun.
It was the Mexican War in which the term Manifest Destiny was first used (not the Spainish-American War). All the "confiscate" land was paid for and the Mexican citizens re-patriated as Americans.
AS to the Spainish American War, Cuba, Puerto Rico, were liberated from Spain. Cuba becoing independant and PR becoming a US Common Weal.
The UN was not established until 1945 after the close of WWII.
