I think any change in the Birthright Citizenship clause needs to come as part of a sweeping change of the immigration policies of this country. The citizenship process is onerous and lengthy - stretching into a waiting list that's years long. There needs to be a streamlined and expedited immigration process.

I wouldn't be opposed to seeing birthright citizenship go away - it almost seems like a relic of another time where land and frontier was unlimited and illegal immigration wasn't the problem that it is today. I believe it could very well be time to close that loophole. But not without being part of a comprehensive immigration system reform package.
