Re: “Should that kid have American citizenship? I think not.”
Quite right. But the 14th Amendment is very badly written. It was written to protect former slaves and injuns, ensuring that they'd both have citizenship. That's not an issue anymore, but the Amendment lives on, doing tremendous harm. It needs to be repealed. The problem is, I don't think two thirds of the states will vote to do that.

I phrased that poorly didn't I. I was thinking of a foreign national who came to the United States to 'have a baby' and claim American Citizenship.

So, if Mama comes from Peru . . . comes to the U.S. . . . Has a baby. Then takes the baby back to Peru. Where it is raised as a Peruvian citizen. Should that kid have American citizenship? I think not.
