This is what Mark Levin says in Liberty and Tyranny" And I agree 110% with him.
The Statist tolerates the illegal aleins violations of working wage, and environmental standards, because of the aliens babies born in Amrica are, under the current interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, treated as United States citizens. And under the Hart Cellar Act, upon turning twenty-one years of age, the child can sponsor additional family memembers for citizenship. From the Statists perspective, the pool of future of future administrative state constituents and sympathetic voters is potentially bottomless.
But does the Fourteenth Amendment grant automatic citizenship to the children of illegal aliens? The relavent part of the amendment reads that all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, ar citizens of the United States. The language requires more than birth within the United States. The amendments purpose was to grant citizenship to the emancipated slaves, who were born in the United States and owed sole allgiance to it. Native Americans who were also subject to tribal jurisdiction were excluded from citizenship. There is no legislative history supporting the absurd propostion that the Fourteenth Amendment was intended to empower illegal alien parents to confer American citizenship on their own babies merely as a result of their birth in the United States. Foreign visitors and diplomats are not subject to the jurisdiction of their home country, as are their children, wheter they are born in their home country or the United States.
I agree with Mr Levin that the BS of allowing "chain migration" was never the intent of the Founding fathers.

"There is no legislative history supporting the absurd propostion that the Fourteenth Amendment was intended to empower illegal alien parents to confer American citizenship on their own babies merely as a result of their birth in the United States." Mark Levin
Good find. I actually did not know that the original intent of the 14th Amendment was being violated. Mark Levin and just about every other radio talker has been zeroing in on the fraudulent interpretation of that amendment today.
Like a lot of Americans, I always thought that the law was being followed, and that we had to do something to get it changed, in order to stop the anchor baby and chain migration problem.

I read Liberty and Tyranny but forgot that was in there. I have thought that this was the right path since before Levin’s book. I think that the first time illegals are arrested the children should be shipped to the home country for their country to take care of, the parents should be sent to one year of hard labor, preferrably building a border wall. After one year send them back. All property purchased while here illegally should be confiscated and sold off much like confiscating drug dealers property. If they are caught a second time repeat the process except make it two years hard labor.
