[Principled]

early in your list, add that we must not allow children of illegals to become citizens [the anchor baby thing].

That is a HUGE incentive for pregant illegals to illegally enter. That incentive absolutely, positively must end. It’d be nice if it were retroactive.

As the allowance of birthright would require a Constitutional amendment (which should be done), the faster intermediate step would be to cease allowing parents to stay, just because the child is a citizen. The argument that doing so would split up families is based on the assumption that the illegals are so barbaric that they would leave their children behind.
