I'm just not convinced birthright citizenship is the source of problems.
They're gonna come regardless.
And removing birthright citizenship opens up a can worms that will be misused, and is likely intended for misuse.
That said I don't see why it shouldn't be massively reinforced:
Both parents have to be birthright citizens. And both of their parents have to be birth right citizens.
And we only apply it retroactively, starting in say, 1980-1990. So if someone was born here in say, 2015, and both their parents are citizens, but one of their grandparents came here in 1981, then its a no go, then still a foreigner.
Of course all of this assumes we'd be deporting a significant number of people beforehand.
Or that immigration in its current form is remotely okay, when its not.
