A debate is currently in progress about the 14th Amendment, its real meaning, and the anchor baby problem. Some say a constitutional amendment is required, while others say that a proper interpretation of the 14th Amendment is all that is required.Great concept, will have tricky execution, but the Drive-By Media and Illegal Immigration Group will pummel the RINO's Congress into submission.
There is, however, a way to finesse the problem without even addressing the constitutional issue. The trick is in realizing that anchor babies themselves are not the real problem. The real problem is that the relatives that the anchor babies "anchor" or bring into the country as they grow up. While the 14th Amendment may protect the anchor babies themselves, it does nothing to protect these relatives.
All we have to do is pass laws that make it clear that relatives of anchor babies will derive no benefits from their relationship to the anchor babies. No constitutional amendment is required – just changes to our immigration policies.
