Repeal the law extending citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil. That would require a constitutional amendment. "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" (14th Amendment).

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

That amendement would sail through the states ratification process like a nuclear-powered schooner.
The 26th amendment---to give 18-year olds the right to vote----was passed in three months and 10 days back in 1970 (without the power of the i-net).
Somebody get Tancredo on the phone----introduce it NOW.

Doesn't necessarily require a constitutional amendment ... "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,...".
It's not much of a stretch to state that those in the country illegally are not "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".
