This is a stupid question. If your parents are here ILLEGALLY how can that possibly under any stretch of the imagination make you LEGAL? It cannot and it was never intended to do so.
Every poll I have seen on the subject has been over 90% and against “anchor babies”.

The operative phrase in the 14th Amendment is "subject to the jurisdiction thereof".
Those who say that the child of an alien is a "natural-born citizen", point to Calvin's Case [1608] from England concerning "natural-born subjects". BUT, Calvin's Case ALSO stated if that child was born to an enemy in England, then that child WAS NOT a "natural-born subject".
Now, in order for an alien in England [in 1608] NOT to be considered an enemy, that alien HAD to have leave of the Sovreign to be in the country in the first place. That is, an alien who was found to be in England WITHOUT the Sovreign's permission was AUTOMATICALLY an enemy since he was NOT under the Sovreign's jurisdiction.
And, any child born to him in England WAS NOT a subject of ANY kind.
