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

Can you say that once more so that folks understand... You may want to expound upon how you have come to know that information or at least provide links to where you are getting your information so that folks can make their own investigation. Because you are right, there is that misconception of being born on US soil and either being a citizen or not. And that is how those who are trying to be re-elected in congress are spinning it as a "wedge issue" between various groups of people... The key is to stay informed...

AS to the Spainish American War, Cuba, Puerto Rico, were liberated from Spain. Cuba becoing independant and PR becoming a US Common Weal.

You are right, got some of my history dates and fact confused. However lands were owned by the United States at one time or another. But because the US efforts were placed elsewhere at onetime or another, somehow, "border lines" got blurred...
As far as Mexican citizen repatriated as US citizens... That depends on how low folks wanted to go to become US citizens. They allowed their families to be separated by a "ditch" if you have EVER seen the Mexican Border Crossings in the Desert - I have an know several people that have made that illegal cross, some of them children. My question to the group is that fair to the children? Because that is all I care about, the children...

Part of the UN charter is to no ever allow complete invasion into another country without provocation like Hitler did with Nazi Germany... Any country that invades a defenseless country to "expand" will be prosecuted by International Court under War Crimes Tribunals at the Hague...
The Hague folks were trying to prosecute Milosevic under those clauses, but he died under mysterious circumstances, although "they said" that is was a heart attack and that might be actually true. But there are some poisons out there that can be made to look like folks died of "natural causes" and they actually do not...
