Now, on a similar note, if an immigrant is in the country legally, even if only on a student visa or just for visiting, and they have a baby while here legally then they should have the right to declare their baby either a citizen of the US or of their own country depending on what they choose to do for their child.

Does that make me a racist?
No it doesn't make you a racisit, it makes you a proud and maybe somewhat fed up American. My ancestors came to this country from Germany in the early 1900's. They became citizens, learned to speak english and became productive members of our society. They raised their kids as Americans and were damn proud to be American. The ones who come here just to rape this country and the hard working tax payers get no sympathy from me. Does that make me a racist?
