The issue of birthright citizenship is a separate issue with arguments on both sides.  But the current law is what it is.  

However, the bolded part above simply is not true.  It's a falsehood bandied about by some conservatives sources and parroted by those who can't be bothered with actual facts.

Under former President Barack Obama, Capps said, immigrants facing deportation had more of an incentive to disclose that they had citizen children because the administration followed a policy of “prosecutorial discretion.” In practice, that meant that ICE officials during the Obama presidency were less interested in locating and deporting people with strong ties to the United States if they had no serious criminal record.

Before Trump, former presidents George W. Bush, a Republican, and Obama, a Democrat, had both urged Congress to pass legislation that would have created a path to earned legal status for some undocumented immigrants with deep roots.

Earned legal status for those with deep roots in the US. It doesn't say anything about "dropping anchor."

Hey, I haven't seen a single thing in the news since 11/6 about this caravan.

How are they doing?   Are they here yet? 

Seriously?
Where were you? Death Valley?
Been on all the local news and national half hour nightly news every night as well as MSNBC, CNN and Fox.
This morning they showed the cattle trailers, yes the cattle trailers being loaded up with the men in a long caravan for the motorized trip northward. They even were sitting on the bar on the back of the trailers holding on to anything they could grab to hang on.
Now we know, someone has to be paying for all that fuel........
I was hoping they would all make a u-turn and go south, but that never happened.......

I imagine they will before they pick up their next load of cattle.

Have you ever visited Mexico and tried to use a restroom facility that is outside of a resort?

Yes.  Many times. Why?

Remember it was supposed to be weeks before any migrants arrived at the border?
They're HERE! An advance group has arrived at the border, but then they did not walk there........

Shit. A week too late to get them all to vote.

Meanwhile, more than 5,000 troops are still deployed along the border, and will likely be away from their families for Thanksgiving. No hot meals or electricity. The cost of the missions is estimated to run upwards of $200 million, but the troops will not be eligible for extra pay on the deployment.

All for a political stunt.

Don't sweat it, they all mailed in their ballots two weeks ago.

Sure.

I went to Mexico a lot when I lived in the US. Never at a resort.
What of it?

I was wondering where all those last minute AZ ballots came  from!
