"Hispanic" is a modern word with too aggregate a meaning following more or less political correctness.
Well, now, in spite of your presumptions, I care if a man is 1) in this country legally 2) he works and produces 3) he speaks English and 4) he is willing to immerse himself in America swear allegiance to it. I do have a problem with making citizens of the births of illegal immigrant mothers.
I too was in the Marines, and I too was in armed conflict and, I too was injured, so you can take your insinuations, make a obelisk, and sit on it.
El Gato. Are you in this country legally? Where is your allegiance?
I do have a problem with making citizens of the births of illegal immigrant mothers. Sorry, the Constitution, which I'm sworn to support and defend, as are you assuming you really were a Marine, defines a citizen as one born (or naturalized) in this country. Live with it.
Amendment XIV: All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside (prior to the 14th amendment, the Constitution did not explicitly define citizenship, but it did imply that a person born in the United States was a citizen, in the section requiring that only a "natural born citizen" or one a citizen when the Constitution was ratified, could become President. TFB for the Governator).
