Immigration Politics: Steve King Moves Forward on Bill to End Birthright Citizenship

Today begins the Republican Congressional attempt to crackdown further on immigrants.

Steve King Moves Forward on Bill to End Birthright Citizenship - CBS News: "Republican Rep. Steve King of Iowa, a leading conservative voice on immigration issues, introduced a bill on Wednesday to end the practice of birthright citizenship.

The bill would amend section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act to clarify those classes of individuals born in the United States who are nationals and citizens of the United States at birth.

It's generally thought that the 14th Amendment provides a constitutional guarantee of citizenship for anyone born in the United States -- known as 'birthright citizenship' -- but King told Hotsheet last year that he does not interpret the 14th Amendment that way." Jan. 6, 2010
