I support ending birthright citizenship, because lots of nationalities are abusing it. It was never meant to allow Koreans, Chinese, Arabs, Indians etc..come here on visit visas and confer citizenship for their kids. The 14th amendment was designed to free the children of slaves.
These folks have no paid into the system, and neither have their kids, but when their kids apply for college, they get all the financial and placement perks that Americans kids get. It is just abuse and exploitation of America.
I do however oppose strict immigration laws and deportation for Amerindians here illegally. So in this sense I am certainly different from those on the right who are concerned about the browning of America. I have no problem with deporting illegals from other regions of the world, as long as they are not genuine refugees.
WTF?
If it was just about children of slaves it would have specified as much and have limited it to only those with a slaves as ancestors. Truth is, birthright citizenship is common among basically all nations that have a large immigrant past. Basically the Western hemisphere and Australia. For these nations to wipe out the native population (or greatly diminished them in the case of Latin America) and then bring limit citizenship to those that have a long history there is a bit too much gall.
As for the "haven't paid into the system" stuff, first, not sure if serious, but if you are, I hope you realize people don't attend college until they're 18 years old. So that's at least 18 years that applicants' parents have certainly "paid into the system." Hell, you're considered in-state if you pay into the system for ONE year.
