Has Arizona gone too far this time?

Asked by Dr_Dredd (10540points) June 17th, 2010

The next bill coming out of the Arizona state legislature would deny birth certificates and citizenship to so-called “anchor babies” (children born in the U.S. to illegal immigrants). Now, the 14th Amendment to the Constitution states: ”All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside.” How can Arizona’s lawmakers justify this bill?
