This is what Mark Levin says in Liberty and Tyranny" And I agree 110% with him.

The Statist tolerates the illegal alein’s violations of working wage, and environmental standards, because of the alien’s babies born in Amrica are, under the “current interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, treated as United States citizens. And under the Hart – Cellar Act, upon turning twenty-one years of age, the child can sponsor additional family memembers for citizenship. From the Statist’s perspective, the pool of future of future administrative state constituents and sympathetic voters is potentially bottomless.

But does the Fourteenth Amendment grant automatic citizenship to the children of illegal aliens? The relavent part of the amendment reads that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, ar citizens of the United States.” The language requires more than birth within the United States. The amendment’s purpose was to grant citizenship to the emancipated slaves, who were born in the United States and owed sole allgiance to it. Native Americans who were also subject to tribal jurisdiction were excluded from citizenship. There is no legislative history supporting the absurd propostion that the Fourteenth Amendment was intended to empower illegal alien parents to confer American citizenship on their own babies merely as a result of their birth in the United States. Foreign visitors and diplomats are not subject to the jurisdiction of their home country, as are their children, wheter they are born in their home country or the United States.

I agree with Mr Levin that the BS of allowing "chain migration" was never the intent of the Founding fathers.
