JANZ: No “Birthright” Citizenship for Non-Citizen Aliens

For the purposes of this discussion, I will not use the term “illegal alien” to indicate someone who is currently in the US through illegal means.

Is Citizenship A Thing Of The Past

When I was a school-age child in the sixties, patriotism had a massive influence on our lives—our day started with the Pledge of Allegiance and the Our Father.
