Amend the Constitution Regarding Citizenship

[Dos Equis]

On one hand, I think that might curb some illegal immigrants, on the other hand, I don't think it will be a big enough impact to justify it.

I actually think this is one of the single biggest reasons we have so many illegal aliens. 

[chaos]

has anyone ever thought of just not making free schools available? No healthcare treatment period without insurance or cash? Not a single welfare or subsidy dollar to someone here illegally? That will stop more illegal immigration than any wall will and will save us money rather than cost us.

Yes, but bleeding heart liberal douchenozzles like Gavin Newsom refuse to follow the law and force law abiding tax payers to foot the bill for these mooches.

Isn't this treason? Why aren't all these politicians arrested and hanged?

[Agnostic007]

When multitudes of women and children start dying in the streets from, starvation, illness or exposure, all hell will break loose....trust me. This will never happen in the U.S.

I think that's a fallacy. Once word spreads people adapt.

41 Million People in the United States Face Hunger

September 6, 2017
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) reported today that 12.3 percent of American households remain food insecure – meaning that 1 in 8 households in the United States had difficulty at some time during the year in providing enough food for all their members.

These people may or may not be starving from hunger, but their lives must really suck anyway. Homeless camp in the Portland Metro area.

Less children are going to bed hungry now that the new school year has begun. Although only lunch is mentioned, breakfast and afternoon snacks are also provided.

Eligible students can receive free or reduced-price lunches: Free lunches are available to children in households with incomes at or below 130 percent of poverty. Reduced-price lunches are available to children in households with incomes between 130 and 185 percent of poverty.Aug 20, 2019

Nonsense.    All I see where I live are fat f ghetto parasites - none look starved.

And of course whatever you see within your limited view, confirms that it is absolutely true on a national basis. Give - me - a - break!

I worked in an elementary school where 80+% of the student body was on the free and reduced meal program. They weren't starving because food (not necessarily nutritious food) was provided by the program. BTW, most of what is government supplied and approved are garbage/prepared foods. Nothing you or I would think of eating, much less feeding to our kids. Charitable organizations as well as school staff funded a program that provided 'lunch bags' to help get these kiddos through the weekend.

I wish there were a way to get the word out to adults, who are adulting, that children are expensive to clothe feed and raise so that they don't have them if they can't afford to feed them.

Me too. It seems to me the very same people who should give the most consideration as to how many, if any children they can afford to raise are the very same people haphazardly reproducing at the highest rate. Providing even the basics; such as proper nutrition, healthcare, education and emotional support is daunting. In order to manage, many folks work more that one job. It is rare today when someone can be a stay at home parent who actually has time to properly nurture their children. Many people have 'nothing left' for their kids after 60+ hours working, just to pay the bills. Add in the constant 'changing partners' attitude many people have and it is a total setup for failure.

Unfortunately, responsible parenting is not at the forefront of a lot of folks minds. Pregnancy is often a haphazard accident which too often results in inconvenient and unwanted babies. Infants who need responsible parents in order to thrive and eventually become responsible adults. There exists an unfortunate cycle of failure to advance our own species. Not to be overly dramatic, but basically humankind seems doomed to self-destruction as opposed to responsible productive enlightenment.

Having children isn't a Constitutionally protected right. Should have to get licensed, background checks and register your children.

At least someone is talking about this again.  I still believe eliminating anchor babies would have a big impact on illegal immigration.

Trump Oct 30, 2018

“It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Trump said in part of an interview with Axios published on Oct. 30. “Number one, you don’t need that. Number two, you can definitely do it with an act of Congress. But now they’re saying I can do it just with an executive order.”

Trump said he has talked about it with White House counsel.

“It’s in the process,” Trump said. “It’ll happen, with an executive order.”

I'm no expert on Trump, but I doubt anyone else is really expecting him to follow through on said promise....

Having said that, the anchor baby citizenship needs overhauling badly

I don’t trust any politician, regardless of party, to keep their promises. 

That said, Trump (who isn’t really a politician) did better than any president of my lifetime at trying to keep his promises.  Didn’t keep them all, but was certainly miles ahead of Obama, Bush, Clinton, etc.

If we start enforcing the border again, ending anchor babies will significantly reduce illegal immigration.

The Bruce Springsteen song, (although I don't much care for rock and roll) "Born in the USA" is more than a song title.  It involves concepts that are important to many citizens...no I would not change the Constitution in this respect...

I still have this position...

[SOMEPARTS]

Notice there is no talk of citizenship like there used to be. The left wants an underclass not covered by the Constitution.
