The anchor baby problem could possibly be solved by amending the 14th amendment.
It was written in July 1866, and ratified in July 1868, for citizenship. Times and conditions have changed since it was first written!
By putting a minimum time limit that a woman has to be living here in the USA for at least 11 months before having a child here, and it becoming a natural born citizen, could be a start. It could be a work in progress, if need be.
That revised amendment would prevent a woman from just coming to the USA, and stepping on US soil, immediately have her child, and it automatically becomes a US citizen. It's not fair to alien children not born here, but are already living here for some time and are not yet citizens.
The updated amendment would make a woman and her man, if she has one, think twice before coming to the USA just to try to make their unborn child an immediate US citizen.
