Won’t happen without a constitutioonal ammendment. And we will never have the votes...

14th Amendment states...
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.”

Not much we can do about this. To change that language it would require a supermajority not just in congress but you would need 2/3rds of the states to pass it.

Illegal aliens are not subject to our jurisdiction. Only in the sense we get to deport them. Your (and the libtards on the courts) interpretation is nonsensical fallacy.

Sure there is. Provisions have been made to exempt newborns of anyone in a foreign diplomatic corps, and I think visa holders. One you make an exception, the door is wide open.

U.S. Code TITLE 50 > CHAPTER 36 > SUBCHAPTER I > § 1801 (definitions):

(i) “United States person” means a citizen of the United States, an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence (as defined in section 1101 (a)(20) of title 8), an unincorporated association a substantial number of members of which are citizens of the United States or aliens lawfully admitted for permanent residence, or a corporation which is incorporated in the United States, but does not include a corporation or an association which is a foreign power, as defined in subsection (a)(1), (2), or (3) of this section.

I think the word "person" has a specific meaning in relation to the law, and it doesn't include illegal invaders. It has been distorted by the left, as they love to distort everything they disagree with.

We shouldn't have to. The 14th Amendment does not authorize 'anchor babies'

"Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons."
Senator Jacob Howard, co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.

Also see this thread for what 'subject to the jurisdiction thereof' really means.
