From the article:

Indiana Rep. Dan Burton, Utah Rep. Jason Chaffetz, and Minnesota Rep. John Kline have cosponsored Rep. Nathan Deal’s Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 (H.R.1868).

The Birthright Citizenship Act of 2009 would amend the Immigration and Nationality Act. Under the bill, a person born in the United States gains citizenship if one of the person’s parents is:

* a citizen or national of the United States;
* an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence in the United States whose residence is in the United States; or
* an alien performing active service in the armed forces.

Third District Rep. Jason Chaffetz is co-sponsoring the Birthright Citizenship Act, which mandates that citizenship only be extended to a child born in the U.S. when at least one of the parents is already a citizen.

Chaffetz says that’s not happening now. “You have two people, or one person that’s here illegally and has a so-called ‘anchor baby,’ and then they’re given rights and privileges over others,” Chaffetz said in a phone interview with KSL Newsradio.

Chaffetz says it’s something most Americans want. “They would agree and concur that becoming a United States citizen is something that should be afforded to parents, or a parent who is a current U.S. citizen,” Chaffetz said.
