Here is what the law should say, if you came here illegally and had a child, then that child cannot obtain US citizenship.
Levin was talking about this yesterday
Since 1965 democrats have imported 42 million legal immigrants from the 3rd world . that's 42 mllion voters for democrats added to the USA.Now these are the worshiped “legal” immigrants.
In addition there are 30 million illegals. and how many of those vote or donate to democrats?
See Ann Coulter’s book to understand why immigrants are destroying the USA
Good find.

This article goes makes a good argument. It is a start. It will be an up hill battle to convince a lot of politicians and the courts. Trump is certainly creating a conversation. I don’t see Trump as a constitutional scholar (no candidate needs to be), so I think Trump is lucky on this issue. I hope other republicans do not make stupid mistakes by coming out against anchor baby legislation just because they want to oppose Trump. I have already heard a number of conservative pundits spew what they learned about the 14a in high school. Liberal teachers have been misteaching the constitution for decades.
The one place in the 14th that I wish the authors had used the word 'citizen' rather than 'peerson' is in the last sentence of Section 1:
nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Think of all the problems that would resolve.

Hasn’t all the Obamacare litigation taught us that the Constitution is now whatever 5 members of SCOTUS say it is?
OK, here’s my view: It is vital to undo “birthright citizenship”. Any statute or EO which attempts to do so will be declared unconstitutional, probably 9-0.
The task of amending the Constitution, although difficult, is less difficult that replacing five USSC justices in hopes of reversing their decision on the meaning of “jurisdiction”.
Therefore, it is a waste of time to attempt to undo birthright citizenship by any means other than a Constitutional amendment.
If Trump cannot get any new interpretation of this, or get a single favorable new law passed to deal with immigration he can still make a huge difference if he can secure the border and enforce the laws we already have. The naysayers act as though nothing can be done so we must allow illegals to pour in and we must give them handouts and a free pass on crime. The truth is securing the border and enforcing laws already in place is possible, and would make a huge dent in the problem.
