I don't agree with making laws just to make a point. It creates fear, mistrust of authority and is an abuse of power, IMO. This law is unconstitutional, has pretty much been said to be so by everyone but the most avid supporters of it, and it's not going to stick, so stop threatening to put it out there.

And it shouldn't. Think of the exceptional cases that would be created, legal visitors or permanent residents who have their visa revoked, overstayed it, or otherwise broke the rules - maybe by working on a student visa - could/should their children's citizenship status be revoked as well?

Hell I'd rather GIVE citizenship to the near adults who were 4 years old when they came here, had no choice in the matter, and continued to not have a choice but go back to a country that they don't know. Until it takes less than 15-20 years to bring your family to the US from Latin America, and until we ditch the low quotas for that region, we're not going to solve the problem, and quite frankly it's racist and classist.
