Aside from the exception for foreign dignitaries, yes, you are a citizen of America if you are born in America.

A child born to parents legally in the US and abiding by our laws is exempt from US citizenship. A child born to parents that have violated and have contempt our laws is a US citizen and you don't see any problem with that?

What’s the law that was broken?

The law that was broken, is the law that they broke by entering America illegally.

The child has done nothing. The citizenship - belongs to the child, not to the family.

The problem isn’t birthright citizenship, it is welfare and all the other goodies that are disbursed to citizens just for breathing. Get rid of those, and we return to how the republic used to work.

The Republic was built off immigrants that were willing to come and contribute to America. This is why the current welfare policy is a hindrance, because it attracts the wrong kind of immigrants.

Take away the goodies, and you get rid of most of the impetus for folks to come to the US.
