Ringinslinger--

You are showing disturbing tendencies of xenophobia. The root of it is what you have noted--any child born in the US is automatically a citizen. But, far from being a liability, this is a US strength. If you don't believe that, look at France--where, without this provision, there is now a large and growing young underclass, mostly Moslem, who feel they have no stake in the success of France--since they are not now citizens--and it's unclear if they will be.

How many riots by immigrants, first or second generation, has the US experienced recently? And how about France?
