How would you feel if a stranger broke into your home, began to eat your food, wear your clothes and watch your television? I am assuming you would not be the slightest bit welcoming to this intruder. Your home and all its contents were purchased with the finances you strenuously worked to obtain.
Under the 14th Amendment, birthright citizenship allows a pregnant foreigner to waltz right over our borders, have a baby, and the baby receives the benefits of being an American citizen.
These benefits, of course, are footed by our tax dollars- not the dollars of their primarily non-tax-paying parents. These "anchor babies," as they are commonly referred, gain full citizenship from simply being born on American soil, and they are entitled to all the same benefits as you and I, including: free public school educations, financial aid for college and even Medicaid.
The 14th Amendment was adopted in 1863 and was a repudiation of the 1857 Supreme Court ruling of Dred Scott v. Sanford that those of African descent could never become citizens. The amendment applied to "all persons born or naturalized in The United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof."
The country is divided on the decision of whether to remove the law or not. Some claim it takes more than walking across the border to become a citizen, while others say intolerance compels people's desire to eliminate it.
Migration scholars report that the desire for better-paying jobs drives migrants to America, not the citizen status for their children.
When our own citizens are struggling to afford adequate health care and public schools become more and more crowded, we should not even consider keeping birthright citizenship. Last year there were a reported 11.2 million illegal immigrants in the Unites States.

RIDING THE US GRAVY TRAIN They pay no income tax, so each year, they can file an Income Tax Return to get "EITC---earned income credit" of up to $3,200 scot-free.
They qualify for Section 8 housing and subsidized rent, food stamps and no deductible, no co-pay free health care.
Children get free school breakfasts and lunches and kids qualify for monthly SSI checks, by faking ADD; the elders get SSI if they fake being aged, blind or disabled; SSI qualifies them for free Medicare.
Plus they don't worry about pricey items like car insurance, life insurance, or homeowners insurance, and qualifies for relief from high energy bills.
ALL OF THAT IS COLLECTED WITH JUST ONE IDENTITY Evidence shows these people establish several identities with phony SS nos and fake documents (which they buy from document brokers for several thousand dollars).
No, they receive better benefits. They will get preferential admissions to higher education and scholarships.
Migration scholars report...
"Migration scholars!" ROTFL! "What do you do for a living? Oh, I'm a migration scholar".
EXACTLY and make it retroactive!
The 14th does not grant birthright citizenship to illegals!! Illegals are not subject to US jurisdiction!

Ping!
If illegal alien and their children tended to vote Republican we would not be having this discussion because the Democrats would have either repealed the 14 Amendment, or made sure the courts and decided it against citizenship for children of people in this country illegally.
I don't really care why they come here illegally- we need to end it. Wonder how "immigration scholars" explain the large numbers of women that come across from Mexico for the sole purpose of having their child here so it will be a citizen? Many of the women that do this have never lived or worked here and never will, they just make sure they are here for the birth of their children. These women have caused many border hospitals to close or stop delivering babies because the hospitals could not absorb the cost of all the free deliveries. Not to mention the women will be the first to sue if anything goes wrong. They are happy to get free medical care and will sue for malpractice at the drop of a hat- they refer to it as "winning the lottery" we truly are being suckered.
