"As long as this country celebrates anchor babies and border-jumpers and "birth tourists" and devalues legitimate naturalized American citizenship, we are going to have an uphill battle to fight."

Sadly, I believe you are correct in this. How can the importance and exclusivity of natural born citizenship vis a vis the founders' concerns regarding potentially divided loyalty and it's relation to presidential eligibility be made clear to the electorate when jus soli citizenship is handed out like geedunk to the children of illegal aliens and "birth tourists", and the act of casting off of prior ties and entering into the solemn pact of citizenship by legitimate foreign-born aspirants is not given the acknowledgment and reverence it surely merits?

No one knows or values natural-born citizenship because no one knows or values basic citizenship.

Every time I see a story about people taking the oath to become American citizens and how proud they are to finally become Americans, I post it here. I am surprised to see papers like the Los Angeles Times, which seems to regularly celebrate illegal aliens gaining entry to our country, to once in a while write laudatory stories about people becoming real Americans by choice.
