Time to take away the anchorbrat amendment right away, secure the border so no more break in.

Let the illegals take their families with them the anchorkid shouldn't be considered a legal citizen born to a foreign national, period, problem solved.

Just because a pregnant woman steps over the border to give birth the kid should never be automatically given citizenship anymore than a pregnant American woman giving birth in another country, the child would not be given automatic citizenship of the country, I mean this is such a ludicrous argument it defies logic.

Pregnant American woman goes to Italy child is born there child is automatically given citizenship, American Mother is not, therefore she cannot stay in the country only the child can?? OH PLEASE!

Just deport them all!

Congress is PURPOSELY misinterpreting the 14th Amendment.

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

Babies born to illegal alien mothers within U.S. borders are called anchor babies because under the 1965 immigration Act, they act as an anchor that pulls the illegal alien mother and eventually a host of other relatives into permanent U.S. residency. (Jackpot babies is another term).

The 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868 to protect the rights of native-born Black Americans, whose rights were being denied as recently-freed slaves. In 1866, Senator Jacob Howard clearly spelled out the intent of the 14th Amendment by writing:
"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."

The original intent of the 14th Amendment was clearly not to facilitate illegal aliens defying U.S. law at taxpayer expense. Current estimates indicate there may be over 300,000 anchor babies born each year in the U.S., thus causing illegal alien mothers to add more to the U.S. population each year than immigration from all sources in an average year before 1965.
