Priorities matter. So we need to get our priorities straight.
How many anchor babies are born each year? Twenty thousand? Thirty thousand? Whatever they are, those numbers are drops in the bucket compared to the millions of Central Americans and others (including some jihadis) who are pouring over the southern border every year.
Let’s take care of the southern border first. Then we can worry about all the relatively minor issues like anchor babies.
There's nothing minor about the anchor baby problem. One anchor baby can be the ANCHOR for an entire family to come to the US, or remain in the US. Plus it opens the US treasury for all sorts of benefits, or "entitlements" for the anchor baby's family.
The problem of the southern border is and has been for years a problem of deliberate negligence by US presidents. The border could be largely secured next week if we had a president who intended to secure it. A fence or wall is a solution to reduce the manpower needed to secure it, and that is needed. But border security can be greatly improved the day a US president decides to do it.
The real first priority is to elect a president who will enforce the law rather then deliberately not enforcing it.

As things are now, anchor babies are probably the biggest problem that prevents the US from enforcing its laws and deporting the illegals who've been accumulating here since the amnesty in 1986.
