It would be wonderful if were retroactive. I have a few names I will give Hunter and Tancredo of anti-American Panamanians who have flown to the U.S. just before giving birth so their brats could have U.S. citizenship. One of the mothers flies to Miami once a month to have the hairs on her legs yanked off even though Panama has that same facility. (Panama does not live in a cave.)

It could not be retroactive. There is no question that current law makes illegal alien babies citizen. You can't take citizenship from someone who is born with it, who did not, for example, lie when applying for it. That would be an ex post facto law, and a law that takes away existing rights without due process. It would take a Constitutional amendment to do that, and you could never get an amendment passed that stripped a bunch of children of their citizenship.

Now, what you could do is pass a law that says we don't give a crap about the parents of anchor babies, they have to be shipped back. When they go back, they will then take their anchors with them. Right now, they sometimes let parents stay because their kids are citizens.

I'm an old fashioned conservative. I applaud foreigners who travel to the USA to spend money. I don't get your complaint.

On C-Span the other day a sherriff from ther border was asked by a subcommittittee on the border..”DO you think that birthright citizenship is an big attraction for the “immigrants” (like DUH)

He said “yes”

He was asked if many pregnant women are caught on the border..

“Yes many are in labour or in advanced stages of pregnacy...”

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

If the child is conceived in Mexico does that make him Mexican by natural origin?
