I think this will go to the Supreme Court and be struck down.Quote:

It's still a little early to tell
It depends on how these propositions are worded.
I also believe there will eventually be some form of amendment down the line.
I guess if this passes, then my contract with the military to be an officer is null and void. Forget the fact that I'm in good academic standing, never committed a crime, and am more than willing to get an all expenses paid trip to Afghanistan. My parent's still crossed the Mexican-USA border illegally, therefore, I'll be an illegal citizen if this legislation passes.
Teabaggers should really think before they talk.
You must be punished for the sins of the father.Quote:

Most depressing thing was to hear separately both my brother and my sister---both born in Panama, both looking like it too, say while living in San Jose, CA back in the 70s, "i dun't wanna sound prejudiced or anything, but soone ror later they're going to have to do something about all these Mexicans coming here"
I think that's called "assimilation".
As for your last line, dayum you're an optimist!
Well, my parent's have received their citizenship as well.
I'm not too worried about this piece of legislation. The teabaggers are trying to tweak the 14th Amendment, which is a cornerstone to America's civil rights. I think there will be plenty of opposition to this right from the start and I also believe that Republicans in general will NOT be able to focus on anything else while they have a superiority in the House. Might be an issue that blows up in their face.
No it just mean you will have to go through the standard prodedure to gain citizenship.Quote:

Since my parent's are now citizens this won't affect me, but you shouldn't turn a blind eye to the people who surround you. Might be an offspring of illegal immigrants who are actually causing this country to prosper and not the other way around.Quote:

Serving in the US military is a privilege not a right.Quote:

Stop using that term. It is homophobic and just displays your lack to tolerance to those who disagree with you.Quote:
