>>And what do you call the young lady, valedictorian of her high school class, who cannot get any financial aid to go to college because her parents carried her across the border before she could walk?<<

So what?? There's millions of Americans who can't get financial aid either and I'll be damned if she gets it before them if she is not a citizen. May not be her fault but tought shit.

>>What do you call her younger sibs, born in the US? How do you deal with the border regions, where families often straddle the international boundary and have lived here since long before the border existed?<<

Hey, I don't make the friggin laws. They're legal if the law says they are. If the says they aren't, then they aren't.

>>Is a bilingual child born in Mexico and raised in Tucson less "American" than one born in Tucson and raised in Magdalena?<<

If the law says that child is legal then that child is legal. If the law says that child is not legal then that child is not legal.

Really, there's no need to make a fuss where none exists.
