It doesn’t matter what we accept in terms of how judges will see the law. By our current law, and until that is changed by act of Congress and ultimately a clarification of the 14th Amendment(?), judges will come down on the side of those children being US citizens. They already have.
I can argue with it, but that’s the reality and why Trump says that anchor baby laws must be changed.
Even then, they will not remove ‘ex post facto’ the citizenship of one who already has it. They will prevent it from happening again after the new law is enacted.
I think changing the wording of the 14th Amendment would set a bad precedent. Eventually we’d wind up re-writing the entire Constitution, in a battle of the meaning of words.
Libs already have found innumerable rights not expressed in the Constitution, and have rejected rights and rules specifically set forth in plain language in that document.
The solution isn’t to change the document. The solution is to put a stop to them re-interpreting it to benefit their anti-American agenda.
There’s nothing wrong with the wording of the 14th. The problem is, and always will be, the intentional twisting of its meaning.
