End the anchor baby program and end all welfare to these moochers and most of the problem would go away.

The only way this will happen is the repeal of the 14th Amedment. "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...."

Intended to give citizenship to ex-slaves, has outlived its usefulness in the present form. Should only require a small change, like adding the requirement of citizenship of a parent prior to the birth.

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States .....
