!4th Amendment and anchor babies

[Bubblehead1980]

I believe in our constitution and am weary when someone wants to change it but am a bit torn on the suggestion to do away with birthright citizenship.I see both sides of the issue.

On one hand, illegal immigration is really damaging this country and our identity and if left unchecked, could be even more of a problem one day.So in theory it sounds great to amend the consitution so that one's immigration is determined by their mother.If mother is an illegal, child is not a citizen.This would stop the wave of anchor babies and help curb illegal immigration.

On the other hand, I dislike tweaking of the constitution for the most part and do not trust our current breed of leaders to do so.The sixteenth amendment is a great example of why the consitution should be left alone.On the flip side, you have the 13th amendment which outlaws slavery, which was a good thing.


Just wondering how other's feel about it, anyone else torn? No insults, want a legit debate guys.
