Yes, there is. The 14A says "All persons born or naturalized...." It
does not say, "Only persons born of US citizens or naturalized...." or
"Only persons born to legal immigrants, US citizens or naturalized....".

Bottom line, to change that will take an amendment to the Constitution,
something neither Russell Pearce nor Lindsey Graham is capable of.

I wrote that and someone snipped it.... Cubans have a special deal with
immigrations. My point was that Elian had the same right to stay as any
anchor baby, but Clinton sent him back to CUBA to a parent.

Yes, because he had no parents here. The choice was a parent or a
guardian. I make no stand on whether or not it was a correct choice, but
the events in doing it were stupid.

Let's walk that through.

If your mother is an illegal immigrant, and she crawled under the wire to
squirt you out, and then was deported WHILE YOU (a minor child) WERE ALLOWED
TO REMAIN, who would care for you? Me?

Your mother would not be deported if it meant that you remained as a ward of
the state. You would be deported to, which means you would be expelled or
exiled. I can't think of any instance where such a move on the part of the
government has ever taken place. But, assume for a moment that it could
happen ... What would keep the government from simply expelling or exiling
any other CITIZEN that it felt doesn't deserve to be here?

The government cannot, or will not, send an American citizen (minor child,
to boot) packing, and will instead allow an alien parent to receive resident
alien status for no other reason than to care for the minor child. That is
an attraction of the anchor baby clause of 14 -- come here and have a baby,
then seek resident alien status through the relationship with the child.
Siblings can also get resident alien status from the same anchor baby.
