I agree, Congress should pass a law clarifying that persons born in the U.S. are citizens at birth only if at least one parent is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident; children of persons with tourist visas or student visas, or of illegal aliens, should not be entitled to citizenship at birth. We won’t know how the Supreme Court will interpret the 14th Amendment’s “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” until we try to limit birthright citizenship.

“We won’t know how the Supreme Court will interpret the 14th Amendment’s “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” until we try to limit birthright citizenship.”

I suspect there will be a “Red” state that initially attempts to tackle this cauldron of bullish*t. And like gay “marriage”, the battle lines will be drawn and the SCOTUS is going to have to decide.

The SCOTUS is arguably THE ONLY reason to support Glove. Although his judicial appointments here mostly sucked. OTOH, there aren't many GOPs to pick from here.
