Granting US citizenship to any kid born here.... that's just nuts.
The bad news on this score is the text of the 14th Amendment which states:
"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."The only "loophole" is the part about "subject to the jurisdiction thereof". It may be possible to argue that the child of illegal aliens is not subject to the jurisdiction of the USA. But there does not yet seem to be a definitive SCOTUS decision on this topic.
