Oh I know it's just wishful thinking, everyone just sits down and cries crocodile tears at the thought of making illegal aliens leave. That does actually raise the question though - why aren't the kids automatically citizens of their parent's countries? I mean, isn't our "birthright citizenship" thing kind of unusual? Generally, a child born on foreign soil will not be a citizen of that country, only of their parents' country. Legally, shouldn't the Chinese, Mexican, Guatemalan, etc. children born here be citizens of their parents countries?
