Lawyers have bastardized the law to what it is now...

No, lawyers have gone on what was written in the amendment. If a person can't write the amendment to actually say what he “intended”, he should have taken up some some other profession, like digging ditches. Maybe he would have been good at that.

Birthright citizenship is the law right now in the U.S., it's always been the law, and I'll be very happy if they change it. I've known about this since the sixties, I wanted this changed even then. But there has been no serious interest until now.
