We probably also need to amend the Constitution so that children born in this country to foreign nationals are not by birth US citizens.

The modification or elimination of that clause in the 14th. Amendment would discourage a lot of immigration. The US, to my knowledge, is the only country in the the world that confers automatic citizenship by simply being born on American soil. However, the Democrats will never go for it. The 14th. Amendment is one of their sacred cows and a useful tool for their agenda. Except for 14th Amendment equality of the 2nd. Amendment.

"The US, to my knowledge, is the only country in the the world that confers automatic citizenship by simply being born on American soil."

HAH! And when you think about it, it is only due to a poorly drafted document. The purpose of the 14th Amendment was to confer full citizenship on those people who had been slaves. And it was fine for that purpose, but look at all the "collateral damage" it has caused. The inability of the law to recognize the unborn as people, the conferring of US citizenship (which I have recently seen described as the single most valuable attribute on earth) on any child born within these borders, regardless of how many laws were broken to occaision the delivery to take place here.

Truly and example of the law of unintended consequences.
