In the real world birthright citizenship exists. It is accepted in the voting booth and passport issuance to name a few. We can argue about the 14th amendment, but existing law and regulations recognize birthright citizenship. Really.

Probably, but besides being debatable, it's on the top ten list of the stupidest things I ever heard in my life.

Then there's this:

In United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898):

The Supreme Court held that under the Fourteenth Amendment, a man born within the United States to Chinese citizens who have a permanent domicile and residence in the United States and are carrying out business in the United States—and whose parents were not employed in a diplomatic or other official capacity by a foreign power—was a citizen of the United States.

Subsequent decisions have applied the principle to the children of foreign nationals of non-Chinese descent.

Do wetback parents of anchor babies fit that set of conditions.

What other developed nation is stupid enough to do this....Canada?
