This has never been debated in front of the Supreme Court strictly about illegal immigrant babies born in the US . The people that are fighting this have a good case to take to the Supreme Court but again if you want a dream act to pass you need push for no more birth right citizenship because it will help the Dream Act and any kind of immigration bills. Know one is going to pass any Dream Act or CIR until they know this situation will never happen again because they have already been burned by it before and there not going to let it happen again..

I would argue that they don't have a good case on the matter, per se, stripping someone's naturalized citizenship is an unconstitutional act in itself. The only way they can get around this is to make two classes of citizenship something that has not been ruled unconstitutional, akin segregationist though. So this route is just a public display and not much would go on, is their money so I guess they can spend it however they want.
Trust me, immigration has burned America several times the Irish, the polish, the germans, and the italians, just kept coming and werent assimilating either. So yeah if you call that burn they were burn and most likely as history shows, would keep getting burn regardless of legislation.
