You can't legally commit crime for gain.
I know this has been covered and almost everything legislators write is ambiguous but the intent is clear that the section of the 14th ammendment that is being used to justify citizenship for Illegal immigrant children was clearly designed to right the injustices and dehumanization of slavery.
A legal concept cannot be self contradictory yet in pratice they often are, however we are not dealing with a simple legal priciple we are talking about the Constitution the frame work for the legal justice system and that cannot contradict itself. The babies of foreign invaders cannot possibly be U.S. citizens it fundamentally violates the concept that the Constitution was designed to protect against enemies from within and without, that we live by the rule of law and due process, that the Constitution protects citizens and their property rights. Probably I could add far more points as could many others but the basic point is there cannot be a law the rewards breaking a law let alone a Constitutional principle.
