Immigration Activist Deported to Mexico

This sounds like it should have happened a long time ago. The fact that her son is a US citizen and she isn't doesn't mean they both get to stay in the US. Children don't have a say when they live, the go with there parents. Ms Arellano can live anywhere she's legally allowed to, and take her son with her.

I don't know the situation, but if she was here illegally when her son was born, I don't think he should be a US citizen. Birthright citizenship should not be absolute. There should be exceptions for people born here when there mothers were here illegally or just temporarily.

But of course that would be using common sense which is that last thing that gets applied to the immigration debate.

Please note I'm not saying that the boy should have his citizenship stripped, just that citizenship should not be granted in future similar cases.
