If I were starting things over from scratch, I might add a revised 14th Amendment which, among other things, says that those born in the USA under US jurisdiction are automatically American citizens. However, it is extremely dangerous to try to go back and change amendments that give more rights to people (rather than removing ones like Prohibition). And executive orders certainly cannot nullify Amendments, and if that were possible, things would be really scary.
With that said, many people have taken advantage of the 14th Amendment to do things that are not okay. My solution to this problem while keeping the 14th Amendment intact is the following:
Any child born in the United States to two illegal aliens is a citizen of the United States. However, both of this child's parents must be deported back to their countries of origin. At that time, they will have the choice of taking their child or putting it up for adoption. The child can legally return at any time, but the illegal actions of that child's parents will go on record and it will be extremely difficult for that child to ever bring his or her parents over. Thus, the child can have the "bright future" (or not) in America that the parents wanted (if the child is put up for adoption or later migrates back to the US upon reaching an older age), but there will be no benefits for the parents for doing that.
This would conform 100% with the 14th Amendment while substantially reducing the current "cheating of the system" that is occurring.
