Actually, John, parents don't automatically get citizenship or green cards just because they give birth here. After the child turns 18, he/she can sponsor the parents. That's a long wait!

I think your point about doing this to drive wages down is interesting. What is even more interesting is that most right leaning folk are possibly even MORE dead set against this amnesty idea of Bush than lefties. This is an issue that transcends party lines, and unless COngress stands up to Bush on this one, they will be in trouble.
