Fathers? Really? This amuses me, because IIRC U.S. citizenship is currently granted automatically to kids born abroad to U.S. mothers, but if they're claiming citizenship on the grounds that Dad (rather than Mom) is a citizen, they'll need a paternity test. :P Or is this just another way of ensuring we all remain the obedient property of Teh Menz?

Overall, whoa - is this plot ever a crock of nonsense. (I am writing an editorial this week about how the Dems need to push for comprehensive immigration reform NAO, and how in addition to being good for immigrants, it'll win them back groups like the Catholic Church, which for all its anti-woman nonsense still firmly believes in the right to travel and humane immigration as a foundation of social justice. But I digress.)

Because really, there's only one group of people who can claim that they deserve the land and I'm sure they'd like it back.

SO TRUE.
