I think it should change.The 14th amendment was written to make freed slaves citizens of the Untied States not so someone can sneak into the country to pop out anchor babies.The supreme court should take into account the reason why the 14th was written.I think the only way a child should qualify for birth right citizenship is if the mother herself is a citizen.
