Trump says that children born to illegal aliens should not be granted US citizenship and it will not take an amendment to stop the practice. He says some legal scholars have said he is right. Others say he is full of it and is just playing to the people. O'Reilly has quoted a SCOTUS decision ruling people borne in the US are US citizens. These people say it would take a constitutional amendment to stop the practice.
Colin McNickle in the Pittsburgh Trib writes that granting citizenship to children of illegal aliens has never been tested by SCOTUS. Others say that Congress never tried passing such a law and has the power to do so as per the 14th Amendment.
