The "ANCHOR BABY" law happens to be the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. Which states that all persons born in the US are citizens of the US. Originally intended to grant citizenship to slaves, but it had no sunset clause in it, and it remains the law.

It's not a simple matter to "take it off the books". It has to be repealed, and that requires passage by two thirds of both houses of Congress, and then ratification by 36 of the 50 states.

And I'm not sure if we'd even want to as it's part of our heritage and perhaps a critical component to a true integrated society.

I'm not sure of how this happens across the entire EU, but I believe in Germany you could have multiple generations all born on German soil and none would be citizens.

Sounds like a good recipe for ethnic ghettos.

Integration of individuals who are legal citizens of the United States is not only a critical component to a true integrated society, it is what this country was founded on. Integration of illegal aliens into our society is illegal. These laws are in place for a reason. We have been lax in their application and been asleep at the switch for far too long. However, they are still laws of our great nation, and the mere fact that they are now being enforced is no reason to call their validity or intent into question.

And they aren't called ethnic ghettos. They are now called Little Italy, The French Quarter, Chinatown and Little Havana. Thriving busseling close-knit communities of US citizens who are losing jobs to the scores of illegal aliens who have invaded their neighborhoods.

I think you're missing the point. By law we're not talking about integrating illegals.

The Volstead Act and the 18th Amendment ( Prohibition ) was repealed when the 21st Amendment was ratified. ( I am no scholar of the constitution - I looked this up). The 21st gives states the power to control the the sale of alcohol.....If an amendment can be ratified and then repealed in 15 years then another amendment can and should be ratified to change the archaic 14th amendment.
By allowing the the 14th to go unchanged we allow for the exploitation of the mothers and fathers of those that are citizens only because the were born in this counry. The 14 th was done to correct a wrong that occured in this country and now it is allowing for a completly different wrong to be done to those that entered into the country be an ILLEGAL means.

Our Constitution is a living document that need to be "amended" to changing times. When one section of an amendment is being used as a loophole to allow for harm to be done on this country and all citizens and non citizens, then an amendment should be ratified to proctect all .

I am not expressing my views in hopes that those who LEGALLY enter this country never bcome a citizen. Those that enter legally from any country should have be allowed to make a better life for them selves and contribute to this country

When the movie is sold out do not try and enter through th side door without a ticket and then be SHOCKED when you are kicked out even when the movie is half over.
