#1 Surely anyone born in the US and caught fighting for the other side should be considered a traitor if his citizenship is brought to bear?

#2 They should have declared John Walker Lynd a traitor. Since they didn't, it would be difficult to do it for this one.
I agree with the article that we need to re-think that amendment. Or perhaps write some laws to clarify it. He shouldn't be an American citizen simply because he was born on American soil.

#3 It's insanity to give citizenship to children of non-citizens simply because they are born on US soil. No other country in the world does this. Not doing it would help cut down on the old scam by Illegals who have a kid here, then apply for residence based on the kid's citizenship.
