Abstract

As immigration reform has made headlines recently, many legislators are seeking to regulate the automatic citizenship that is bestowed upon all children born in the United States , even if their parents are illegal immigrants. However, international law authority Peter J. Spiro said that by denying these children citizenship, "you'd have a significant portion of the population being legally subordinated on an inter-generational basis." To read the complete story, see USA Today. The article title is "'Mixed status' tears apart families; when illegal immigrants' kids are legal, choices painful." It was published on 4/26/06, and the author is Wendy Koch.
