You could deport the illegals, however nearly all of them have young children who were born in the US, and are citizens.

Growing a spine means more than just enforcing the law against the illegals themselves, but revamping immigration laws to reflect modern times. They do not need to change the Constitution to end the scam of anchor babies, I don't care what any politician says. There is a clause in the 14th Amendment which gives Congress leeway in how citizenship is applied to foreigners. Only two countries in the world allow the practice of automatic citizenship, and of course the US has to be one of them.

Again, it's a matter of showing backbone and doing what's right for the country.

"Again, it's a matter of showing backbone and doing what's right for the country."

I'm not disagreeing with you at all, I'm just saying that out of the two options, either deporting all the illegals, or changing the Immigration laws, it would be much simpler for our politicians to do the latter than go through the messy process of deporting millions of illegals with small children, and revoking citizenship their children's citizenship.
