Again I reiterate, and someone please, please correct me if I am wrong, but according the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, one is not granted citizenship solely on the basis of being born on American soil, but must also be born to parents who are "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States of America. I take this to mean that the parents must be citizens either by birth or naturalization.
Melena29 - I have not seen the full text of the 14th amendment. I tried to research it a while ago, and found partial quotes and descriptions.
Is that a direct quote you are citing regarding the parents must be "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US?
Unfortunately, though the intention of those who added the 14th amendment was likely NEVER to allow the anchor baby re-population of America, I'm assuming the courts must have interpreted it this way at some point.
When the pro-amnesty crowd doesn't like something, they just have the ACLU or LULAC file a lawsuit, and keep appealing until they find a judge with an identity crisis who believes he/she is a legislator.
