Citizenship by simply being born in the U.S. is one of the stupidest and most liberally and wrongly applied interpretations of the Amendments to the Constitution.
Should have never been applied as it has been. Anchor babies are just wrong. The intention was for children of freed slaves ...not illegals.
Exactly.
"Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons." Senator Jacob Howard, co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.
