This petition is to request President-Elect Donald Trump to spearhead efforts to alter the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution so that birthright citizenship for the children of illegal immigrants is eliminated.

The goal of this petition is to eliminate a magnet for illegal immigration, the automatic citizenship for offspring of illegal immigrants born in the United States.

Given the longstanding invasion of our country by illegal immigrants for the purposes of creating birthright citizens, and the massive burden this creates on legitimate citizens, this loophole should be closed.

The only form of birthright citizenship should be being born with at least 1 parent who is a US citizen.

In the event that either parents is not a citizen, the non-citizen parent should lose parental rights and not be named on the birth certificate unless they are present in the country legally.
