1*
Suppose a woman enters the United States as an illegal immigrant and gives
birth to a child in the United States. Should that child automatically
become a citizen of the United States?
2*
Should illegal immigrants who have American-born children be exempt from
deportation?
3*
The majority of immigrant visas awarded in the United
States are based on a family relationship. A proposal has been made to award
visas instead on the level of skills a potential immigrant brings to this
country. Do you favor moving to a merit-based system for legal immigration or
prefer to keep the existing family-based system?
