The Return of the Metics

According to George Will, those born in the U.S. should not necessarily have the rights of Americans. This he argues in an extremely legalistic and pedantic piece in the WaPo. He assiduously avoids any practical consideration as to having millions of people born and raised in the U.S. suddenly being non-citizens. One minute it's "assimilation," the next it's "eternal foreigner". He essentially arguing for expanding the status of metic to much larger part of the population.
