Birthright Citizenship and Illegal Alien anchor babies must be stopped now! Call your Congressman to support this legislation (HR 1868) and let's close this loophole this year! Only two first-world countries now allow birthright citizenship - the U.S. and Canada. All other countries have ended the practice including Britain and Australia recently.

You are correct. As it stands today These Anchor Babies are US Citizens from Birth.
This problem must be Fixed first before we can Really address the Illegial issue correctly.
I would say that at least one parent must be a US citizen at birth for the child to be granted citizenship. But the Law could not be Retro active.
