Based on 2009 U.S. Census Bureau estimates, about one out of every 15 children in the United States was born to a family where at least one parent is in the country illegally, according to an article in the Arizona Daily Star.There are calls to amend the U.S. Constitution to deny automatic citizenship to children solely by virtue of their birth within this country.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
