No, citizenship should only be granted to those with at least one legal parent that is a United States citizen

  Deletedanswered…3yrs3Y

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.

  Deletedanswered…4yrs4Y

Yes, but for the most part only Mexican females. Children of White fathers should always be considered citizens.

 @9334YP3answered…3yrs3Y

No, they should be deported at their family's expense or receive the death penalty.

 @8TP6QKSanswered…4yrs4Y

No, and we should execute them if their family does not finance their deportation

 @8558FRW from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but facilitate the ability for these children to apply for citizenship.

 @4NJR28Janswered…4yrs4Y

If at least one parent, or an aunt or uncle is a citizen, the child can be considered a US citizen.

 @heatherdvdprincessanswered…3yrs3Y

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.

 @8QHRLTL from Georgia  answered…4yrs4Y

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-Palmerchuck from New Jersey  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, as long as they were born here and their parents do not receive citizenship

 @ISIDEWITHasked…6mos6MO

In what ways do you think immigrants contribute to society that are often overlooked?

 @8NYZYJ7 from Michigan  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

If they gain citizenship like everyone else and their parents are trying to gain citizenship as well

 @8XHNZZH from Pennsylvania  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8CVBL6V from California  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, and their parents should too if they've been in the country for 10 years and if they work or go to school.

 @4M8TY2Manswered…3yrs3Y

No, but the migration process should be straight-forward and reasonable for everyone.

 @6WS2R4W from Pennsylvania  answered…5yrs5Y

 @8ZNYXZQ from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @chneljm from New Hampshire  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, if they were born in the U.S + allow the parents to stay with the child & help them work towards citizenship.

 @8QZJMDFanswered…4yrs4Y

 @7GP32QV from California  answered…4yrs4Y

 @75KRFBJ from Nebraska  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, if they were 18 years old or under the age of majority from their country of origin

  @RichardYRodgers from Maryland  answered…3yrs3Y

No, unless they were born here or willing to perform two years of national service.

 @7QTYQR6 from Florida  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Constitution per the Fourteenth Amendment.

 @operaman86 from Utah  answered…3yrs3Y

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

 @85QWNPG from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and if their parents have been in the country more than 8 years "illegally", they should automatically be granted citizenship.

 @8CKRCH4 from North Carolina  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8CQ4NFX from Ohio  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8HVDYGY from Wisconsin  answered…4yrs4Y

I think we should secure our national borders and grant a path to citizenship for all residents who pass a criminal background check.

 @8LG9WPJ from Maryland  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

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.

 @NotShaggy3 from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

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.

 @8NXSCW2 from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, if the child's parents actively work towards full citizenship within a specified time period.

 @8NY4BWF from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

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.:

If the children live here for 15 years, then yes give them legal citizenshipip

 @8RNVKJS from Indiana  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes if they are under 16, if over 16 they should have to apply (and that process should be made easier)

  @8TKFNNS from Texas  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8V5PJ3X from Massachusetts  answered…4yrs4Y

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

  @8VHBC3L from West Virginia  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8W82FZ5 from Colorado  answered…3yrs3Y

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.

 @8Y2PZNR from Missouri  answered…3yrs3Y

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

Kinda, still deport the children under the condition that the children can come back to the USA and get citizenship when they're older.
