Re: Born in the US but not American?
[ QUOTE ]
If some women are having their babies in the US to get their kids citizenship, then this amendment might reduce that. That seems like a rationale.

Yes, that's the rationale. It's not a good one.
There are MAJOR problems:
If the baby is not a US citizen, then what citizenship do they have?
If the baby is abondoned (legally or illegally), then what citizenship?
Will other countries comply?
Of all of the arguments against illegal immigration and of all of the methods to reduce it, this is the most absurd and cruel.
