If you don't like that maybe you all should be taking your asses back to western Europe to see if they will grant you citizenship based on your heritage.
Yes Mexico does have a double standard but until we secure our own boarder we are just complaining about someone else's problem.

That's like saying "stop smoking and the cancer will go away".
Arizona can not control the NATIONAL BOARDERS, and the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT does not appear to care at this time, rather they want to suck up to the illegals to get the "Latino vote".
Since your a constitutional expect you should be aware that there is an Amendment process and Birthright is actual the 14th Amendment, it was not even part of US law until 1868 and was in fact away to legitimize newly freed slaves as not only "free people" but also Americans with American rights.
The great untamed west is gone as is the desperate need for inexpensive labor to fuel the industrial age. We have over 300 million people in this country. Its time to end the swell of "new citizens" and begin taking care of the ones we have.
If everyone in America had a job, the education and life style they wanted and it was wonderful, then sure, bring on the worlds bullshit problems. But the fact that we have so many impoverished AMERICANS, unemployed, homeless and our own drug/gang/crime problems, we don't need to be some corrupt, incomplete countries "solution" to their own problem.
