That's part of fixing the problem. A big part. The attractive nuisance that the prospect of US citizenship represents to the 600 million plus living south of the border is too enticing to resist.

I second the motion

Illegal aliens shouldn’t be deciding who our future citizenry is by dropping a kid

They are not “stateless” either. They have their parents nationality. So the sobbing can stop. It’s not a problem.

<>The post-American sensibility that dominates at the top levels of government, business, organized labor, academia, media, and organized religion means that automatic citizenship, once an important mechanism for the assimilation of immigrants and the strengthening of the American nation, has become a tool for its dissolution.<>

Twenty-two months.

Someone posted an account of the 14th amendments creation here of FR a few years back.

The Senator who worded it specifically made it so former slaves would be citizens but to make sure birthright citizenship would not be allowed.

Later some agency or group or whoever just decided to pretend that it says the opposite of what it does say.

I really love birthright citizenship. Much better to protect borders and control immigration through other means. If I had to fill out paperwork to be a citizen, something could easily sideways. I like it that it is an indisputable fact, from the get-go.

Is there a petition? There should be 10 petitions.

[RKBA Democrat]

A dumb idea. Start giving the bureacrats, in their infinite benevolence, the power to revoke citizenship? Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

The problem is a de facto one party system that is hopelessly in love with the idea of mass immigration By Any Means Necessary. Illegal immigration is easily dealt with as Australia has recently demonstrated. The political powers in DC simply don’t want to deal with it. In fact they want to increase it.

Its needed but not happening, America is too far gone.

GOP POTUS candidates are terrified of Hispanic voter turnout, and a Dem POTUS wont let it happen for obvious reasons.
