I go down there close to the border almost weekly. My trucks all have Mexican insurance stickers all over them.

The rights of citizenship are the same, regardless of whether by birth or by naturalization.

As to going out of one's way, that's a trick question, isn't it?

But if we're talking about few people who come here undocumented for the purpose of gaining citizenship for their children, the answer is easy. In those cases, citizenship is automatically conferred on the child. Not only is it automatic, but it's free. The process of naturalization takes time, effort and not a little bit of money.

By the way, native born Americans can have citizenship revoked too.

I was not talking about undocumented immigrants and am neutral on this subject. It is difficult to pass judgement on people that are gainfully employed in most cases and our economy needs them in our workforce.

On the rest our perceptions are different.

You don't come up here from Mexico, get yourself naturalized and then start bitching about how things are done.

Bitchin is a privilege reserved for us who have paid our dues by living our whole lives here.
Nativist bias.

Nativism is racism.

And, Rajoo, your last sentence reads more like the words of a guest than a citizen. "Mustn't be rude to the host!"

There are not two tiers of citizenship here.
You're goddamn right.

You just think you have more right to bitch and moan, a fact not lost on any of us here.

Nope. I haven't been down below the border in a decade, maybe two. Used to go fishing down there but I've lost interest.
