Birthright Citizenship

Some legislators in Arizona are considering legislation to deny citizenship to so-called "anchor babies" born to parents who are undocumented. This would violate the 14th amendment to the Constitution, passed shortly after the Civil War, which reaffirmed that anyone born in the U.S., with a very few exceptions, is a citizen regardless of the immigration status of their parents.
