that's some heavy stare decisis to overturn.

More than anything, that will be the biggest problem. The intentions of the 14th may be clear, but how it has been applied in practice sets up a big hurdle. I've heard good arguments on how this can be fixed through legislation and without a Constitutional amendment, but just getting the legislation through will take jumping some high hurdles...one of the biggest being just getting the public to understand the scope and size of the problem.

I say this half seriously.
It's the libs that claim the Constitution is a "living" document and interpretation should be adjusted to fit contemporary mores. Well, using their logic, one could say that the 14th amendment shouldn't apply here because the writers intended for it to apply to *legal* residents only. Not 12 million illegal invaders.

Realistically, it ain't gonna get fixed. Our only hope is to keep them out of the country before the babies are born. If we stopped providing free medical services, including birthing services, it seems to me that would make them think twice about coming here. Sounds cruel, but this "invasion" will destroy this country as sure as if it were an invasion resulting from armed hostilities.

Secure our borders and remove all of the incentives they have for coming here. If they can't get jobs and medical care, how long before they quit coming??? In other words, if they will be worse off here, they will stay away.

"That's some..."

"More than anything..."

Well wait one minute. I thought we had a living breathing constitution that adapts to changing social conditions, that allows abortions, separation of church and state. Now all of a sudden it isn't living and breathing enough to stop anchor babies? /sarc I disagree ...the pubic wants the borders closed...the public understands the problem.
