Illegal Immigration
With the explosion of illegals in all states why has no one thought to endorse legislation that would make children of illegals also illegal? Wouldn't this seem logical in this day and age? If your children wouldn't become citizens based just on being born here it might just deter some of the migration. If your parents are illegal then so are their children.

I'll hazard a guess: Perhaps because legislation cannot trump the U. S. Constitution, which provides that all persons born in this country are citizens. (See Fourteenth Amendment.)
born in the country AND SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION thereof. . .
There should, and can be, a legal clarification outlawing birthright citizenship
HR 698 "To amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to deny citizenship at birth to children born in the United States of parents who are not citizens or permanent resident aliens." was filed in 2006 http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/bdquery/z?d109:h.r.00698
