Some politicians believe a child should only acquire citizenship by birth in the U.S. on the contingency of legal status of the parents. As part of any workable approach, the proposition that immigrants will always be a factor in the composition of the U.S. population must be examined. Although immigration has been increasing to the U.S., Americans will also begin to migrate in larger numbers. Immigration and emigration are here to stay. Instead of responding to the rhetoric of politicians, we ought to insist that those in positions of power and responsibility answer comprehensive questions, with the assumption that there will always be immigration.
Immigration is an international issue deserving of only the most well thought out response.
Instead of getting a quick fix, we must demand that politicians not be short sighted in resolving the debate over immigration. All rights reserved.
