Jamie- May I ask whos Social Security number is your illegal invader husband is using in order to work in that kitchen? If he is illegal he is NOT able to work here legally and is no doubt destroying some honest American worker's credit and employment history. More possible using some choilds SS number that won't know about the illegal activity on his/her record until applying for a job or credit! You condone that illegal action of your illegal husband's and say you attend church? Hipocritical and un-American!

"The CCA is an attempt to remedy the curious constitutional loophole whereby children born overseas, even if both their parents are American citizens, don't have an automatic right to citizenship themselves." When was that in effect, Doc? As you know, my siblings and I were all born in Mexico (the youngest of us is 50), and I don't recall any of us having to do anything special to get our US passports. Do you know when it became non-automatic?

No, unless you were quoting from the article or someone else's comment - which it didn't appear you were - that's not what you were talking about. You claimed that you had to have an American parent to be an American citizen. The CCA is an attempt to remedy the curious constitutional loophole whereby children born overseas, even if both their parents are American citizens, don't have an automatic right to citizenship themselves. People born in the United States are (with a very few exceptions) automatically citizens, regardless of their parents' nationality or status.

actually i was referring to the CCA or Child Citezenship Act that came into effect in the year of 2000, not 1866.

people born in the united states are u.s. citizens only if one of their parents is a u.s. citizen. Wrong. See the 14th Amendment, the 1866 Civil Rights Act, and U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, among others.

people born in the united states are u.s. citizens only if one of their parents is a u.s. citizen. whoever wrote this might want to check their facts. And if a u.s. citizen has a child, not matter if the other parent is a citizen or not, that child should be a u.s. citizen, regardless.

Just because a person lives in the united states and is not a citizen does not mean they are greedy or thieves. In fact the bible says: "Execute true justice, show mercy and compassion everyone to his brother. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor, let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother." Zechariah 7:9-10 Many illegal immigrants do pay taxes, and came here like everyone else in the search of a better life. My family came during the potato blight from Ireland and we were all oppressed too. Maybe not the rights of a U.S. citizen, but a human living in our country, yes deserves rights.

I am married to an illegal from south of the border, and he works in a kitchen, pays taxes, that he does not have the right to claim, free money for uncle Sam, and he goes to church w/ me and our children (christian church) every sunday, our children attend school at our church, and he is a great person, he is learning english. He also has 4 brothers, that live very similar lives. So to say that "they" do not pay taxes is false. There are a handful, I'm sure, who are bad aples so to speak, but for the most part thay are kind, christian, hard working people. I know more "americans" who are lazy, gossiping, medling people than i do "mexicans". Ya know, you can't judge an entire group of people. All I read in this article was hyprocisy. Yeah lady, look at yourself, and take care of YOUR own. I'm sure that illegal immigration has very little impact on you personaly. God loves ALL his children.

Every time that I hear people say that illegal immigration is not a christian thing all I can say is put yourself in their position. The people who come here are not the ones who are wealthy and rich they are the ones who need the most help and come here just to earn a few bucks to be able to help themselves and their family back in Mexico or where ever they are from. Who did Jesus hang out with? The tax collectors, prostitutes, and people with leprosy who were rejected by society. Do you really think Jesus would take a poor illegal immigrant and just ship him back because what he did was not right. NO!!! He would have had compation on them and help them, not throw them back!!!!!
