A Call for a Change in Natural-Born Citizenry

To be born in this country should no longer solely be able to account for citizenship any longer. How many come to bear their children so that their children might have a better life, and in hope be able to tag along for the ride?

I understand the desire to have a better life, but as long as laws break no moral code, then there is yet a reason to break them, even in pursuit of a better life.

I think it prudent of the U.S. government to consider a new approach to citizenship by involving parental citizenship in determination for the children. If I'm born to American parents in Germany, I hope that I'm American. There can be statues of difference involved in parental intention. If my parents wished to change their citizenship to German, I hope that I as their child would be granted the same status they themselves have gained, even if they had spent 90 percent of the required time to gain new citizenship.

Otherwise, as has already been proven, our natural-born citizenship is left open for easy abuse.
