It’s not a problem in and of itself but it’s illustrative of our lax policy.

No matter how much some people might dislike the 14th Amendment, it ain't going anywhere.

How does that make the policy lax? Compared to what, zero admissions?

We allow millions in legally every year. Birth tourism often involves immigration fraud. It’s seldom prosecuted = lax enforcement.

So, no, we still would allow millions of legal immigrants in. We’d just crack down on unregulated immigrants.

1 million per year, not millions, in a country of 325 million (0.3%), for comparison Canada lets in 0.33 million per year in a country of 36 million (almost 1%).
