If your wife had a baby in Mexico, would you want it to be a Mexican, or an American?

The parents country of origin should be the determinant. If they are from different countries, they'd get to choose between them.

Ex-ACLU officer held on child-porn charge
A former president of the Virginia chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union is expected to plead guilty to criminal charges stemming from his arrest in February on child-pornography possession charges, according to court records.
A judge in U.S. District Court in Alexandria on Wednesday scheduled a June 1 plea agreement hearing for Charles Rust-Tierney, 51, of Arlington. It was not clear what charges would be included in the plea agreement.
A grand jury indicted Mr. Rust-Tierney this month on one count each of receipt and possession of child pornography. A conviction at trial on both counts could result in a prison sentence of 11 to 14 years, according to federal sentencing guidelines.
Mr. Rust-Tierney, who also coached Little League baseball in Arlington, has been in jail since his arrest.
Among the items found on Mr. Rust-Tierney's computer was a six-minute video that prosecutors described as "a compilation of some of the worst child torture and rape scenes" that police have seen in their various investigations of child exploitation, all set to music by the rock band Nine Inch Nails.
Mr. Rust-Tierney was president of the ACLU's Virginia chapter from 2002 through 2005.
