US Senator Lindsey Graham recently spoke to the press to clarify his statements he made on the US immigration laws which were questioned by people and categorized as controversial. Lindsay is a one-time lawyer who provides legal status to undocumented workers. While speaking to the press, he said that he wants to be practical and fair when it comes to dealing with the immigration issues and above all, he wants to fix this problem as soon as possible.

To reduce the problem of illegal immigration in the United States, he is focusing on fixing the problem by working on various federal reforms. He is planning to end giving birthright citizenship to the US born babies of illegal migrant parents. He further said that people from foreign countries come to the nation to give birth to their children in the US hospitals so that they can become the legal US citizens. They come here illegally but they make their children a legal citizen of the nation. This is not been followed by other countries and the United States should also not follow it. Such statement made by him has raised quite a controversy amongst people in the US.

One of the spokesperson for Hispanics, Diana Salazar said that not providing citizenship to the US born babies is unfair as it is the constitutional right of them. She further said that Graham’s proposal is against many people residing in the United States. His proposal is in favor of few people only but fails to deal with the welfare of masses. There are many families of the United States which are dependent on the Latino population working as servants such as nannies for them. Salazar openly criticized the proposal of Graham by saying that his proposal does not represent the whole state and so should not be encouraged.
