The 14th Amendment to the US Constitution says:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

The Supreme court incorrectly ruled that illegal aliens who give birth in this country create citizens. The law states all persons "subject to the jurisdiction thereof." Illegal aliens are not subject to the jurisdiction thereof.

Currently some members of Congress are making moves to correct this mistake by the Supreme Court. They are correct and should be supported. This move is not anti-children, anti-immigrant, or anti-anything. Instead, this move is pro-freedom, pro-law enforcement. Remove some of the incentives that others pay for and there will be a reduction in criminals entering this country.
