Yes, all citizens born in the United States should be granted citizenship and immediately receive rights like any other citizen.

 @9F84XLP from California  agreed…3yrs3Y

They law already says if you are born in America then you are a citizen but your parent can still be deported.

 @9FLGVLF from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

if they were born here, it would be great if they were given an opportunity, somewhat like the dream act.

 @9FLHLKRConstitution from Texas  agreed…3yrs3Y

If they were born here they should be able to live here as a citizen as they should be given a chance at freedom.

 @9FWVTWL from California  agreed…3yrs3Y

Show any legal from of tax payments or any school/educational purposes, any thing you can prove you have been a American citizen.

 @9VZJRVNNatural Law from New York  disagreed…2yrs2Y

All citizens, born AND naturalized in the United States of America, are natural born citizens of the United States of America- 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States of America!

 @9FL4DP3 from Ohio  disagreed…3yrs3Y

My best counter argument to the Yes, if they were born here position on immigration is, the majority of the time when babies of immigrants are born here, it is on purpose. The child becomes a natural born citizen and the parents will get to stay and receive their green card. I feel that if the parents are illegal, the child and the parents should be sent back home.

 @9GGYPVQ from Kentucky  agreed…3yrs3Y

Families fight with death to get here to the United States of America to give their future generations a better future and life. If the child of an immigrant is born in the U.S, that child should be considered a citizen.

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”
