Sure, let’s repeal the 14th Amendment
No automatic citizenship for the uneducated
I actually think the Tea Baggers may be on to something with their calls to repeal the 14th Amendment. Just because somebody is born here doesn’t mean they’d make a valuable addition to the US, right? Here is what I’d do – when the person turns 18, I’d have them hand-letter a sign. If the sign is misspelled or ungrammatical, the candidate is denied citizenship and deported to some random 3rd-world country.
By the same token, we should fast-track the citizenship process for immigrants with Masters and Doctorates to replace the vast swath of stupid conservatives we’d be deporting. It’s a win-win proposition!
Stumble it!

Aw, c’mon, greenboy. You know that “AMENSTY” means he’s praying for an answer to illegal immigration.

Increasingly I see comments like “should be deported to…”
You’re implying that the flotsam and jetsom of America must leave to sully the rest of the world with their unwanted trash. Can you give me a reason why that attitude is any worse than whoever you’re crapping on at the moment?

Snark, dude. I’m just pointing out the core flaw in their stupid rantings – if birth in the U.S. doesn’t constitute citizenship…then what does?

That doesn’t seem to be even remotely close to answering my question.
It isn’t that I’m against your philosophy and I certainly concur that “they” have grievous faults but what’s with this thinking that you should have the right to inflict them on some other country, which is precisely what you propose?
My country is dangerously close to yours so it isn’t just a casual inquiry or flip comment.
I realize that it was Snark but it wasn’t completely thought through IMHO.
