That is a good plan.
But as I mentioned Grahamnesty purposely got on Sunday TV suggesting, not even proposing, a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship just to kill the idea.

Legally you dont need an amendment as the US doesnt give that to everyone born here even now.

I won't go into all the details here, but it is a legal issue that may eventually have to be decided by a Constitutional amendment, but that is the last resort. I know all of the legal background and history on birthright citizenship.

If Congress were to pass a law eliminating birthright citizenship, there is no doubt that it would be challenged in the courts and eventually go to SCOTUS for resolution. If SCOTUS upholds the challenge, then the only recourse is to change the Constitution.

We have 300,000 to 400,000 anchor babies born each year in this country. Most are paid thru Medicaid and most are on food stamps and receive other welfare benefits, which they are entitled to as an American citizen. One in every 10 births in this country is to an illegal alien.
