Immigration Politics: Republican Senators Target Birthright Citizenship with New Bill

Illegal Immigration: Republican Senators Target Birthright Citizenship with New Bill - ABC News: "A posse of Tea Party Republicans in the U.S. Senate this week opened a new front in the crusade against birthright citizenship with draft legislation that would bar children of illegal immigrants from becoming citizens.

Sens. David Vitter of Louisiana, Rand Paul of Kentucky, Mike Lee of Utah and Jerry Moran of Kansas say their bill requires the federal government to limit automatic citizenship to children born to at least one parent who is a citizen, legal resident, or member of the military."
