You know I advocate selective citizenship. > What about if you were born in the US to legal permanent residents - i.e., > green card holders. Would they be citizens or not?

I had a PL in the 82nd that was US/Israeli. We deployed to Sinai as part of MFO, and he couldn't do any border operations, and had to stay away from the Egyptians. Not ok. To be honest, I would like to see us follow the constitution directly as written. That would of course include amendments. BTW, why bring race into this? I know Russian and Irish illegals. I don't think their children should be given citizenship either. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;192386516;25150098;k Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:259728 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
