Right now, the children are LEGAL under our existing law.
__________________________________________

No, actually right now there is no law that makes them legal..

The 14th Amendment only makes the children of black former slaves legal American citizens ...

It was not passed to make the children of illegal aliens legal citizens..

Even the children of foreign diplomats here legally as our guests cant get American citizenshiip merely by being born here..

and the children of NATIVE AMERICANS were not included either..

That took another law later..

Sorry, but they are legal under existing law, i.e., U S Code. They are given all of the rights and entitlements of US citizens whether it be passports, SSNs, food stamps, etc. That has been the case for decades.

I am very well acquainted with the legal issues. Congress will have to pass a law revoking birthright citizenship. It will be challenged and go to SCOTUS. If SCOTUS upholds the law, then it is over. If not, then a Constitutional amenmendment will be necessary if we want to end it. I do.
