Immigration Politics: U.S.Sens. David Vitter, Rand Paul introduce birthright citizenship resolution

Sens. David Vitter, Rand Paul introduce birthright citizenship resolution | The State Column: "Louisiana U.S. Senator David Vitter and Kentucky U.S. Senator Rand Paul introduced legislation aimed at amending the Fourteenth Amendment, denying birthright citizenship to those born to individuals living in the U.S. illegally.

Under the proposal, persons born in the United States to undocumented immigrants will not automatically gain citizenship unless at least one parent is a legal citizen, legal immigrant, active member of the Armed Forces or a naturalized legal citizen. ...

The measure will likely face a tough path ahead. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has noted his opposition to the amendment, joining a number of Democrats who also opposed the move."
