I think it's only being brought up to get Arnold in office.

My opinion: I think that it's good how it is. If we change it we will need to put limits on it that someone else will have a problem with. If we do change it, I think that the person needs to have grown up here. Young minds are a lot more impressionable than older ones. So if you some to America when you are old and become a citizen you get less culture and influenced by the culture less than you would if you were under 13. It's just like kids under 13 learn languages a lot better and usually loose thier accents while adults don't. To me, this is all too complicated to make into a law, so it should stay the way it is.

America is not the land of opportunity anymore. Only a rare few are able to make it to the top coming from poverty. Foriegners and citizens alike can just give up hope.
