My guess is that it would take a major effort and require changing the 14th amendment.

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.

That's a bit of a sticky wicket.

Ending the thought that for some woman who sneaks into the US just to give birth to their child, there is an amendment that automatically makes her child a citizen, guaranteeing her and the rest of her family to lifetime welfare benefits, thanks to a misinterpretation of the 14th amendment, granting “citizenship,” by virtue of a birth, won’t be easy.

One or two or more Supreme Court judges who are true Constitutionalists, judges who love and revere the same, could make it happen!

Just as some of our leftist idiots, in black robes, found a right to kill the unborn (now including the recently born) in the Constitution to be interpreted as our “right to privacy,” should include a mother’s desire to murder her unborn baby, as her private decision, might also include a clear reading of that amendment, that for decades did NOT include uninvited illegal alien women, who sneak over either border or cross any ocean, just to have their baby does not grant that child all the rights and privileges of citizens is wrong!

I know I’m stepping out on a limb to presume that Chief Justice Roberts would honestly read all writings by those who crafted this amendment, a risky proposition I know. Who knows, even he might stand up for our Constitution and realize that the sole purpose of conferring citizenship of the offspring of the U.S. slaves, following the Emancipation Proclamation, immediately granting freedom but also citizenship, as were their children! These rights were intended for the babies or children of those slaves and not for others.
