Citizenship Reform Act of 2007 by Joey Isenstadt, Jun 20, 2008 (10:15pm)

It’s a good thing that this bill would likely get shot down by the courts, or else Gallegly would be spending his time writing legislation that might actually harm this country. This is just one more piece of Gallegly’s nativistic, decades-long war on the children of illegal immigrants. Gallegly seems to have no grasp on the unintended consequences that his bills would have. Illegal immigration would go down, but the children born here would be an even greater social cost; the money we would save on educating them would hardly pay for the costs of policing them. That is not to mention that targeting children who had no say in the circumstances of their birth, the actions of their parents, or the political and economic relationship between Mexico and the US is completely immoral.
