Ann, this article is one of the best I've read on this issue. Clear and to the point. America is getting close to the point of no return. If illegal immigration continues unabated, American will become a poor 3rd world nation.

Thank you Ann! Your column on the history of Millstone Babies was exactly what I was thinking but I just couldn't explain it as well as you did. Great read!

Think of the granting of citizenship to the children of illegal aliens as an illegal executive action that was regularized just like the illegal DACA grant of a right to work. It has been illegal for decades and we will just stop acting illegally.

@Rose4Justice There isn't any law that grants citizenship to illegals or invaders who force their way into the USA! It is a Democratic movement to destroy the nation. - 1 more reply

Hat tip to you. My favorite line was the one about fake news creating fake history. So true. I seriously wonder what our history books will say 50 years from now about this chapter in history.

Great column Ann! Thank you for the common sense argument. (Unfortunately, the left has no common sense as they prove on a daily basis.)

"The all-star panels rush to Wikipedia, so they can pretend to be experts on things they knew nothing about an hour earlier." Classic!

And again on the anchor baby thing , why would there be anything ok with China paying women to come drop a child on US soil in order to acquire a citizenship to bring home to China?!?! It’s happening in Newport Beach !
-
China is laughing at us.

Legit! I would if I’d figured out the loop hole of working the system to buy real estate legally!!!’ Using birth-rite citizenships!!!

So as noted previously, opinions vary on this issue.
-
But the law and history don’t. For 106 years or so there was no “birthright citizenship” for children born to foreigners because Congress had not yet regulated immigration. With the 14th A in 1868 the citizenship of ex-slaves and their children was secured.
-
Immigration was not regulated until the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, and the notion of birthright citizenship accruing to the children born here of foreigners lawfully here wasn’t affirmed until 1898 in the case US v. Wong Kim Ark.
-
But neither Congress nor the courts have taken action to extend that right to children of foreigners *not* here legally (illegal aliens), that practice started in the 1980s as a non-statutory, non-regulatory *interpretation* of the 14th A by the Secretary of State.
-
Essentially it’s merely been the practice of INS to grant citizenship to “anchor babies” based on an aside by a SC Justice and an executive decision by succeeding Presidents not to overrule the Secretary of State’s interpretation.
-
As such it is clearly within the executive power of the President to overrule that interpretation and return our policy to the status quo ante pre-1980. Which is what Trump is doing. It will certainly be challenged and end up in the SCOTUS, which is where it needs to go.
-
It hasn’t been ruled on since 1898, and that decision was very controversial. So I agree with you that it is time to take another look at this. But I have no idea how SCOTUS will decide.
