WORTHINGTON, Minnesota -- U.S. Reps. Gil Gutknecht of Minnesota and Steve King of Iowa both called Thursday for changing a law that grants automatic American citizenship to children born in the United States to illegal immigrants.
Flanked by Worthington Mayor Alan Oberloh and State Sen. Jim Vickerman, DFL-Tracy, King said the United States should do away with birthright legislation that has been in place for more than a century. Gutknecht also voiced support for such a movement.
