GOP wants to end automatic citizenship for people born in America

It's been automatic ever since the 14th amendment became law in 1868. These bozos think they can undo a constitutional amendment with a regular bill. Oh well, they control everything, and don't have to follow the Constitution, so they're probably right.

Here's the 14th amendment that these Republicans want to ignore.

The bill has 77 co-sponsors. Sorry, htmldon, there are a lot of Gilchrists in your party.

I don't see much of a problem with it.  Many would-be immigrants decide to wait until the wife/girlfriend is ready to pop before heading over to the US for a quick vacation.  Once the kid is born, they suddenly have an American citizen, and the rest of us have a few more immigrants.
