"the 14th Amendment says that if you're born here, you're a citizen"

Yep, it does. It doesn't say, however, that little Maria's mother gets to stay in the U.S.

I say keep the kid, send momma back to Mexico. The government would only have to do this once or twice to cut way down on women sneaking over the border to have kids just to get to stay in the U.S.

That already is the law-- the "anchor baby" rule was abolished in 1993. If Momma is deported, she now has 3 choices-- take Jr. with her (but he gets a U.S. passport and can come back when he's 18); leave him here with relatives who are legal; or put him up for adoption.
