An unfriendly legal system might treat being born as a crime. In fact, I'd be surprised if some politician in Arizona hasn't tried to make being born to illegal immigrant parents a crime.
The downvotes surprise me, because the rhetoric is precisely along these lines, e.g. Sonny Bono wanting to remove state benefits from the US-born children of illegal immigrants on the justification "they're illegal". Illegal people.
Yeah, I was wondering about the downvotes. The welcome thread says that it's perfectly acceptable to ask for an explanation... So, for anyone who downvoted me, why?
Didn't downvote, but I think your comment visually matches the 'strawman argument' pattern. Except that it is not.
