We need solution to 'anchor baby' problem

(UNEDITED)Anchor babies have finally become a big issue. I guess no one knew this was happening till the immigration debate came up. It's almost broke the state of California with the costs. Many illegal immigrants come to our country, risking their life, just to have their child in America.

The 14th amendment to the constitution states all persons born in America are to become citizens, just for being born here. Fine, that doesn't automatically give citizenship to the parents, uncle, aunt, grandparents, etc. Your baby is now a citizen but you aren't. Either take the child with you back to your country, or arrange for someone in America to raise the child for you. There are a lot of people who will adopt your baby, now it is a citizen.
