RE :”I won't go into all the details here, but it is a legal issue that may eventually have to be decided by a Constitutional amendment, but that is the last resort.”

No it wont because such an amendment will be ratified. No amendments will be ratified anymore, esp that one, so such fantasy talk just turns me off.\

We don't give citizenship to diplomats kids. So why illegals? You are right about the courts being a problem though. The wise latino.

Fantasy talk? In your first sentence you say that such an amendment will be ratified and then you reverse yourself. The idea that there will never be another amendment to the Constitution is the real fantasy talk. I think that it will depend on what kind of public support such an amendment would get.

There are only 33 countries in the world that have birthright citizenship and only two developed countries, the US and Canada. Ireland was the last country in Europe to get rid of birthright citizenship and it did so thru a constitutional amendment. Again, it would be the last resort. Let's see if we can get Congress to pass a law first. Several Congressman has proposed legislation to that effect, including Steve King who was just reelected despite a major attempt by the Dems to defeat him.
