I can only imagine the untold billions that it cost us taxpayers. And it isn't just Mexicans, it's people from all over; China, Russia etc. There'a huge industry based around this.
Should we put an end to the constitutional right to citizenship for babies born in the United States to non-citizens?

Child Birth Canada. Canadian nationality law is defined by the Citizenship Act, which determines who is eligible to be a citizen of Canada. Canadian citizenship is typically obtained by child birth in Canada on the principle of “jus soli.” “Jus soli” is a Latin phrase for “the right of soil.”Jan 16, 2019

Canada: Subsection 3(2) of the Act states that Canadian citizenship by birth in Canada is not granted to a child born in Canada if neither parent was a Canadian citizen or permanent resident and either parent was a diplomat, in service to a diplomat, or employed by an international agency of equal status to a diplomat. However, if neither parents were diplomats, the nationality or immigration status of the parents do not matter.[17] Some Conservative Party members wish to end birthright citizenship in Canada to the children of tourists and unauthorized immigrants.[18]

United States United States: The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "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".[35] The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" excludes children born to foreign diplomats and children born to enemy forces engaged in hostile occupation of the country's territory.[36] The concept of birthright citizenship applying to the child born of a foreign national in the country without proper credentials has never been formally litigated. However, it was briefly discussed in the dissenting opinion of United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898).[37][38] President Donald Trump said he intended to write an executive order to end birthright citizenship in the United States to the children of unauthorized immigrants, who some scholars believe are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States.[39]
