You would have to change the Constitution of the United States which states that any child born in the U.S. is an American citizen. (Not that I am against what you said.)
This is absolutely correct.
The Constitution will be amended either in Bush's administration or in the next administration (whoever that might be).
It needs to happen, for the sake of the Republic. Migrants come here illegally and fully rest on the "anchor baby" clause for eventual citizenship.
We are not talking only about anchor babies for Mexico, migrants from all over South America understand this critical flaw and loophole and have abused it for decades.
Allowing it to further erode citizenship rights is a crime on a national scale - thus the Constitution must be amended to prevent further degradation of citizenship.
Not so. Prior to the XIII Amedndment, the children of slaves were not citizens, but additional property.

If the parents are illegal alien felons, the children should not grow up under the criminal influence of their parents in any event. They can leave the country with their parents, with a lifetime renuunciation and revocation of US citizenship, or they can remain here, to be raised by foster families as abandoned infants/children, to perhaps later serve as border guards well-suited to keeping the illegals back on their side of the fence.
The more such we get abandoned on our national doorstep, the stronger the defense of our southern border becomes. Eventually, the problem corrects itself.
