Despite the naysayers, amending the Constitution to rid our nation of anchor babies (and the chain migration it precipitates) is not a big deal.

The 26th Amendment (to lower the voting age) whipsawed through the states like a Category 5 hurricane.

About three months after it was introduced into Congress, the 26th was US law.

Given the current national furor, an amendment to ditch anchor babies would enjoy a similar victory.

I can name thirteen states unlikely to ratify it off the top of my head.

And it was a very stupid amendment. At best, it should only have applied to people serving in the armed forces. It never should have given those hippie draft-dodgers more power.

How many state legislatures do Republicans control? What percentage have to pass this? You're right - this could be easy.

I suspect that you are one of those who thinks "I'd vote to end birthright citizenship. So would the people I know, and the people I discuss things with online. So would the presidential candidate I support. It would be a slam dunk!!"

You need to get out of the echo chamber, and check out the rest of the country for a few days.......
