Miami Mayor Francis Suarez, a Republican candidate for president, said last week that calls to end American birthright citizenship were 'really idiotic.'

"Our Founding Fathers decided that people born here were immediately citizens. Cracking open the Constitution to eliminate that right seems really idiotic," Suarez, whose parents were both immigrants from Cuba, told the Daily Caller last week.
