The column I linked above in comment #70 has some excellent points about what the Founders meant.

Yes, it’s about reason and knowledge of history and what our Founders meant by “natural born citizen” as distinct from “citizen.” A baby born of one or two foreign nationals on American soil is not a natural born citizen. According to the 14th Amendment, they are citizens. We need to revoke the “anchor baby” provision of the 14th A.

The Anchor baby provisions don't exist. They were simply made up by subsequent courts and bureaucrats due to a misinterpretation of both the 14th amendment and the Wong Kim Ark decision.

George Will has an excellent article on this.

So does Ann Coulter.

Eisenhower didn't buy any of this "Anchor Baby" crap. He deported illegal immigrants, including their American born children wholesale.

Overall, there were 1,078,168 apprehensions made in the first year of Operation Wetback, with 170,000 being captured from May to July 1954
