I've said it before and I will restate it again. The reason we will not end birthright citizenship any time soon is due to the fact that this is a big incentive to doctors and high tech persons from other countries.
Think Michelle Malkin's parents, for example.
Doctors and high tech people from other countries are flocking to the US to give birth? This is news to me. I think you're mistaking legal immigration and H1B1 visas for illegal immigration and birthright citizenship.
Last poll I have seen on this subject was a Time poll from a few months back 35% supported revising the 14th Amendment 61% did Not
THREAD FAIL
Didn't bother to click the govtrack link, eh? It clearly shows 71% in favor, 29% opposed. Another poll by Rasmussen shows 65% oppose birthright citizenship. The only fail is your post, bud.

What I do not understand is how someone whose parents are not citizens or even legal residents of this country can be a US citizen just be being born here.
It never made much sense to me.
The children of Diplomats born in the US are not US citizens. So why are the children of illegal aliens born in this country given US citizenship?
Do you really think US citizenship should be given out like candy? We have women coming here on visas from all parts of the world (birth tourism) to give birth to a US citizen! How frickin crazy is that?
"It was 5 a.m. and CBS News national correspondent Byron Pitts is with a woman who is nine months pregnant. She's rushed to a south Texas hospital to undergo a C-section - a $4,700 medical procedure that won't cost her a dime. She qualifies for emergency Medicaid.
(...)
"Do many women in Mexico make the choice to have their children in the United States?" Pitts asked.
"Yes," she said through a translator. "I know people who have done that. Things are much better here in the U.S. because they help children so much more."
(...)
"Many Americans who struggle to take care of their own families think it is unfair that they should take care of a family and they are not U.S. citizens.
"I don't understand the resentment," said. "I know that God will help them, too."
(Of course she doesn't understand the resentment...EVERYTHING WAS FREE)
80 Co-sponsors for the Birthright Citizen Act of 2011, and not ONE democrat supports it. Why? The country overwhelmingly is in support of ending birthright citizenship, republicans and democrats alike by a margin of 7-3. Why aren't the democrat members representing their constituents on this issue?
It should be. If you can't prove your ancestors came here legally when they migrated, you should get the boot.
Yay!!!

Trump ancestors create his Presidency null and void.
