Orphan?

Merger?
It's been suggested that this article should be merged into Anchor baby, but I think Birthright citizenship in the United States would be a better merge target. I would hesitate to merge this article's material into Anchor baby because that article is supposed to be specifically about the derogatory epithet, not about the citizenship law controversy in general.

Factual Error
The 14th Amendment does NOT "grant American citizenship to all born on American soil." If it did, there would be no "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof," phrase - noting the word AND as operative. Constitutionally, a birth on U.S. soil is only half the requirement for citizenship at birth. If it were meant that this group believes that birthplace is the sole requirement, such can be written better than (it is) currently.

The above may be better said in the article about the Amendment itself, but the error was made here, not in the Amendment's article. 71.106.213.194 (talk) 08:57, 4 April 2011 (UTC)
