What is your solution for women who live in Mexico, have no desire whatsoever to live in the US, never have and never will- yet they sneak in to have their babies so they will be US citizens? Those babies can claim all their rights as citizens whenever they choose, many cross the border every day to attend school in the US and their parents do not pay taxes to support the schools. What is your solution to wealthy people from other countries planning vacation births here so their children will be citizens? This is a much larger problem than illegals that have been here for years having a baby here that is a citizen at birth. I don’t agree with giving citizenship to children of illegals at birth even if they live here, but the problem is actually far bigger than that.

Turn them away at the border. Deny them entry. How are they getting over the border in the first place? Someone is helping them. Find that person. Deport them if not a citizen - arrest them if they are. Keep doing that until it stops.

The solution for those already here, is to deny the parents entry. The kids can either live with social services or with family legally in America.

Gosh. That one is simple. Deny them entry. I must seem like a broken record.
“the problem is actually far bigger than that.”
I agree. The solution is to actually enforce the laws on the books.
