I like doing both. We should build the wall and end anchor babydom. We should select who gets our citizenship based on who benefits us the most.

We should take the next Einstein and if possible, screen for and reject the next Tony Montana. We are under no ethical obligation to make US citizenship easily obtainable for the foreign born.

We are not talking about the foreign born.

I was referring to the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, which bestows citizenship on anyone born in America.

One can build a wall without even an act of Congress. A state could build a wall if it wanted to. But one cannot strip babies born in the US of citizenship without amending the Constitution: 2/3rds of Congress and 3/4ths of the States have to agree. (They won't.)
