DescriptionA survey by Rasmussen Reports shows 67 percent of Arizonans believe American-born babies of undocumented immigrants should not get citizenship status.

Twenty-eight percent think the child should qualify as an American citizen, according to the July 29 poll of 500 adults.

The 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, passed in the Civil War era, says a person born on U.S. soil is an American citizen. State Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, Gov. Jan Brewer, R, and U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., are among those who want the amendment reassessed.
