“Changing the law won’t help things even if it is changed.”
Not a change. The children of those who are not here “in amity” with the government, to use the term from the WKA decision, are not born citizens.
“...but were predicable of aliens in amity so long as they were within the kingdom. Children, born in England, of such aliens were therefore natural-born subjects...”

Interesting. So what if Obama states that these people are ‘In amity’?
Would that make them citizens?
Sure, there are problems with birth citizenship - but there are also benefits - it eliminates shenanigans. Obama wants to give them citizenship outright, but birthright citizenship stops him.
Your change in law? Gives him this power 100 percent. Voila - instant Amnesty.
