No, citizenship should only be granted to those with at least one legal parent that is a United States citizen
Deleted3yrs3Y
Yes, if they choose to apply for it. We should give them the choice to apply for citizenship if they are planning to become citizens, or return to their home country, depending on the content of the immigrant's character.
Deleted4yrs4Y
Yes, but for the most part only Mexican females. Children of White fathers should always be considered citizens.
@9334YP33yrs3Y
No, they should be deported at their family's expense or receive the death penalty.
@8TP6QKS4yrs4Y
No, and we should execute them if their family does not finance their deportation
@8558FRW3yrs3Y
No, but facilitate the ability for these children to apply for citizenship.
@4NJR28J4yrs4Y
If at least one parent, or an aunt or uncle is a citizen, the child can be considered a US citizen.
@heatherdvdprincess3yrs3Y
Determine what age a child can move at and still consider the new place they live in to be "home" by the time they grow up, and then if the child grows from toddlerhood on to then, they can be citizens, but otherwise they must be deported with their families. Probably 10 years old would be when they are too old to be deported.
@4XH8J8F5yrs5Y
Protests, absolutely not. Riots, yes of course.
@8QHRLTL4yrs4Y
This would cause for an increase in illegal immigration, parents of undocumented children would come into the United States so their children could be citizens.

@Matt-Palmerchuck3yrs3Y
Yes, as long as they were born here and their parents do not receive citizenship

No. We should not separate families. The government should be granted permission to deport children of illegal immigrants in case their parents get deported. This will keep families together. While I believe we should deport all illegals, as well as children of illegals whether they were born here or not, we should take care of them to make sure they have somewhere to go and that nobody is in critical condition. I’m not that mean.
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
No illegal children should be with their parents
@88LK76J4yrs4Y
No children should not be separated from their parents
@925J4Q83yrs3Y
If they gain citizenship like everyone else and their parents are trying to gain citizenship as well
@8XHNZZH3yrs3Y
they should and shouldnt be granted
@8CVBL6V4yrs4Y
Yes, and their parents should too if they've been in the country for 10 years and if they work or go to school.
@4M8TY2M3yrs3Y
No, but the migration process should be straight-forward and reasonable for everyone.
@6WS2R4W5yrs5Y
No, only if the child was born here
@8ZNYXZQ3yrs3Y
yes, but it should not grant their parents citizenship and the child if born in state gets citizenship if not then they get partial citizenship then when they are 18 they will have to file for citizenship the parents should do that themselves and children kept safe and close to parent till finalized and if the child was not born there then when they turn 18 need to apply for full citizenship
@8J89ZDW4yrs4Y
It depends on if they were born on US soil
@chneljm3yrs3Y
Yes, if they were born in the U.S + allow the parents to stay with the child & help them work towards citizenship.
@8QZJMDF4yrs4Y
No, unless they haven't been discovered until a certain age (8-12+)
@63ZXW6N4yrs4Y
If they wish to be citizens, yes.
@7GP32QV4yrs4Y
Yes, unless they have committed a serious crime
@75KRFBJ4yrs4Y
Yes, if they were 18 years old or under the age of majority from their country of origin
@RichardYRodgers3yrs3Y
No, unless they were born here or willing to perform two years of national service.
@7QTYQR64yrs4Y
Yes, birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Constitution per the Fourteenth Amendment.
@operaman863yrs3Y
Yes, but only after passing a citizenship test. Once they do so, then you grant them natural-born citizenship if they were born in the United States and they renounce all foreign allegiances. Otherwise, this would be violation of the 14th amendment
@85QWNPG3yrs3Y
Yes, and if their parents have been in the country more than 8 years "illegally", they should automatically be granted citizenship.
@8CKRCH44yrs4Y
Travel between Canada, the United States, and Mexico should be only mildly different from travel between states. If a person is working, paying taxes, and residing in an area they should be considered citizens of that area.
@8CQ4NFX4yrs4Y
No , they should be with there parents and should earn their citizenship but at the same time the system that earns you citizenship should be changed so it doesn't take as long.
@8GTKMJY4yrs4Y
Yes, and the parents deserve citizenship, too.
@8HB749H4yrs4Y
Only on a provisional probationary period
@8H7KLFX4yrs4Y
No, they must formally apply like every other new citizen, however, if they were born here that should be taken into consideration
@8HVDYGY4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they pass the citizenship test.
@8HX2KD54yrs4Y
I think we should secure our national borders and grant a path to citizenship for all residents who pass a criminal background check.
@8JDNVJK4yrs4Y
No, but make an easier path to legal citizenship.
@8JH4WM94yrs4Y
@8JSB4ZC4yrs4Y
Yes, if there parents have not done any crimes
@8LG9WPJ4yrs4Y
Yes, maybe temporary status to give the parents time to apply for citizenship legally. If they do not do what is needed for citizenship, then the whole family needs to be deported.
@8LSVCGK4yrs4Y
Yes. if they were not able to consent when they came here
@8LZNL4Z4yrs4Y
Depends if they were born in the US or not
@8M2BGYV4yrs4Y
Yes, and make the process easier for their parents
@8M6D6WR4yrs4Y
Yes if their parents become US citizens
@8M98FV94yrs4Y
yes, if their parent(s) pay taxes.
@8MMFD8C4yrs4Y
if the children of illegal immigrants were born on U.S soil I believe the children should be granted legal citizenship but not the parents.
@8NMCN5N4yrs4Y
If they are under the age of 18
@NotShaggy34yrs4Y
Yes, If they were born here, they are US citizens and would have dual citizenship. They could return to the US whenever they like, but their parents must apply for citizenship or remain in their country of origin.
@8NXSCW24yrs4Y
Yes, if the child's parents actively work towards full citizenship within a specified time period.
@8NY4BWF4yrs4Y
I believe that children born in the United States are American Citizens just like everyone of us that is currently a US citizen with the exception to Indians who are actually indigenous to the United States. All of us had parents that came from another country at one time or another, again unless we are Indian. In addition I believe that the child has the right to have their parents become legal residents of this country provided they pay taxes, do not have legal issues or break the law etc.:
@TogetherinSoli14yrs4Y
Yes, but only if they lived in the US before the age of 12
@8QKJ7R94yrs4Y
Yes, if they were born or naturalized here
@8QSMLKX4yrs4Y
Yes they should but only if they are born in the US.
@8QXGYWK4yrs4Y
yes, but they need to speed the process of applying
@8QXMNMM4yrs4Y
If the children live here for 15 years, then yes give them legal citizenshipip
@8R6XFJ64yrs4Y
immigrants 16 and under only
@8RG4NRY4yrs4Y
Yes, and grant parents citizenship.
@8RNVKJS4yrs4Y
Yes if they are under 16, if over 16 they should have to apply (and that process should be made easier)
@8TKFNNS4yrs4Y
Yes Only if the parents came here legally filled out legal Paper Work.
@8V5PJ3X4yrs4Y
If they are born in the US, they should be granted citizenship, and under the case that their parents are illegal, they should be given a chance to become citizens through the legal process of immigration and citizenship
@8VHBC3L3yrs3Y
Yes, and allow them dual citizenship
@8W82FZ53yrs3Y
Depending on their age. If they were born in the US, then they are automatically granted citizenship. (I think) however, if they are above the age of 13, they should have to take the citizenship test.
@8Y2PZNR3yrs3Y
No, but they can be allowed to live here similar to a citizen but have to take a citizenship test around their high school graduation
@8YFXWT53yrs3Y
yes, only if they were born in the united states.
@8YJ6ZGY3yrs3Y
Yes, if they formally apply
@jasonandrewdevine3yrs3Y
Require illegal immigrants with children to undergo the naturalization process for the whole family or face deportation.
@8Z6PZKW3yrs3Y
Yes, if they were born here, but it should no grant their parents citizenship
@8ZH59GG3yrs3Y
Kinda, still deport the children under the condition that the children can come back to the USA and get citizenship when they're older.
@92MKPWZ3yrs3Y
people are not trusted with power over these.
