Its defenders say changing it would be dangerous.

USNEWS POLL comment:

Faux Citizens

Only children born to RESIDENT aliens qualify for birthright citizenship under the 14th Amendment.

As illegal aliens and foreign invaders are barred from residency BY LAW, their children born on US soil are NOT entitled to US citizenship.

So says the SCOTUS in US v. Wong Kim Ark, 1898. So, if you overstayed your visa or invaded the US by stealth, your offspring ARE NOT US citizens, they retain the citizenship of their invader parents.

Additionally, if one or both of your parents are Mexican, you too are a Mexican by Mexican law.
