I would hope that any new immigration plan would include a provision that denies automatic citizenship to the babies born here of non-citizen parents.

That citizenship is based on a clause in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution. What's that tell you?

That my Constitutional Law professor is re-thinking my grade! Now is the time for those maveric justices to re-interpret our Constitution. Perhaps the citizenship of children of non-citizens (i.e., both parents being non-citizens) would be denied because of failure of jurisdiction? 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.
