You can't make a law that's flatly unconstitutional like this. Or... you can make it, but it'll be overturned the minute it hits the courts. This is feel-good-and-reelect-me legislation at its worst.
(BTW, for those of you who are in the ":shrug: Sounds good to me", camp, Section 1 of the 14th Amendment of that God Damned Piece of Paper called the Constitution of the United States of America begins with the sentence: "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." This bill is utterly unconstitutional.)
