It's also not in our Constitution.Quote from dandxg:
I agree they don't plan it out. Its mostly poor Hispanics that do this. They are Catholic, don't use birth control and have more kids than the average family, in some cases. This is especially true if they are newly arrived from Latin America. Many working class and poor Mexicans in Mexico pull their kids out of school after 4th grade to support the family. They also hold onto dated thinking that more kids means they will be able to support them when they are old.
Where did I get this info? From my Mexican Spanish teacher in college in the 90's. He told me it's crazy that children born here get automatic citizenship.
