When is this country going to wake up and realize that giving citizenship to the children of illegals is a really bad idea?

We could solve many of this country’s problems by no longer giving citizenship to children born to illegals, no longer providing social services to illegals, securing the border and enforcing all immigration laws.

Definitely! A while back I posted an article that explained why many constitutional law experts believe that it’s a distortion of the 14th Amendment to apply the citizenship clause to the children of illegal aliens born here. They made a convincing case that it’s wrong in terms of historical context and original intent. They said that the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” applied only to the recently emancipated slaves and not to others. In short, they said there should be an amendment passed that would clarify this confusion and misinterpretation.
