You have a good point there. I understand that citizenship is tracked at the federal level and not the state level; although the federal government relies on local county records to prove status. The system requires an overhaul and the states should have a bit more power to police their own territory.

I'm sure we'll get to it one of these decades. Again, I think that a small government ethos will make it quite challenging. It's interesting when you parse the constitution carefully, particularly the 14th amendment, you'll often note that it is all about due process and it does not limit that to citizens only; it seems quite careful in using the words citizen and person.
