Birthright citizenship should be abolished in the USA

CONS Imagine a place where people don"t have a sense of belonging. Minors would have tremendous trouble becoming a citizen before 18; meaning throughout minor"s lives, until they became an adult they wouldn"t know where their nationality belongs. Citizenship is part of someone's identity and it"s not our right to steal that from others.Birthright citizenship is one of the most controversial issues in the USA. Although there are good reasons for abolishing birthright citizenship, the reasons for keeping this law around outweigh any reasons for abolishing it. If we abolished it we would be deliberately disobeying the 14th amendment and there would become a permanent underclass. Not only that, there would be lots of money to propose though it is not likely to succeed because it is a right guaranteed and protected by the 14th amendment. For one we would be deliberately disobeying the fourteenth amendment. Indeed the 14th amendment can legally be revised by our congress. which would be a challenge itself though when our congress didn"t amend the constitution to simply be amended its self. Yes it has been around for a long time but that is no reason for blindly abolishing one of the laws that 1) made our country unique and proud. 2) it made our country extremely successful and taking that away seems like we"re asking to fall behind as a country. The 14th amendment says clearly "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside." therefore we shouldn"t even begin the think about denying our fathers. Additionally, it would be lots of money to propose and unlikely to succeed. Even if it was passed by congress the likelihood of the supreme declaring it unconstitutional is quite high. Sadly by that time we would have already spent 1000"s of dollars if not millions on advertising and carrying out this law. For this reason we would be wise to simply never start going "down" that path in vien. Instead we could use that money and pay of some of our billions in that we are in debt. No, "anchor babies" is not the problem. The phrase "anchor babies," which is at the heart of the arguments in favor of these bills, is completely misleading. U.S. citizen children cannot protect their parents from deportation, and they must wait until turning 21 to sponsor them for legal status. Having a child here is not a practical way for any immigrant to gain citizenship. The amount of people being left with no nationality would not be "accounted for". for one many of children born in the U.S. but denied birthright citizenship might also be ineligible for citizenship in their parents" home country, leaving them without a nationality and forcing them to live at the margins of the international community. Besides these children would be undocumented, drastically increasing the total number of undocumented people living in our country causing Americas taxable population effecting roads, schools, government, safety, recreation areas, etc. Almost everyone would be negatively affected allowing loopholes in our government allowing more illegals. It"s an endless predicament that we best not start into. All in all we would be woefully foolish of our congress to go down this path that clearly will hurt society way more than we could ever think it would help. Besides birthright citizenship hardly attracts the illegals; what attracts them is our government and economy style, safety and equality. Also abolishing birthright citizenship would effect our taxation system that our government so direly relies on. On top of that the likelihood of the law be declared unconstitutional is rather high while we all know how much capital would be required to advertise and debate this national law would cost. The thought of losing that money when we are billions of dollars into debt is stomach churning as falling farther into debt would be scary, maybe even fatal.
