The other issue about the children is that depending on the home country
of their parents, they may well end up being a citizen of nowhere if you
strip their US citizenship. Their parents home country might also class
them illegal immigrants. There are a few of these completely
disenfranchised people around (they carry a grey UN passport,
apparently) - usually they are this way because their home country
ceased to exist and what replaced it won't grant them citizenship. They
are pretty unfortunate - they don't have the right of abode anywhere on
the planet.

No, we need Americans to learn foreign languages.

While that may be true enough in its own right, it doesn't apply to
the issue of illegal immigrants. We are a country made up of a
diverse mix of people, and thus are subject to cultural fragmentation
pressure already. To encourage immigrants not to learn the language
spoken in the US, is to encourage deepening cultural fragmentation.
While the rich variety of individual cultural heritages is valuable
and desirable, it is subordinate to the unity of the nation.

We need Americans to learn math and science.

And learn it better. But that doesn't seem to be germane to this
topic.

We need Americans to get out of their coccoon and realize that the
world around them is different from Main Street.


Aw, now you're picking on Mr. Honeck. :-)

At any rate, I fail to appreciate how enlightening the US citizenry
will have any impact on our failure to police our borders.
