No other country grants citizenship to offspring of illegal immigrants. Even Canada repealed its similar statute.

The 14th amendment doesn't need to be changed, the interpretation just needs to be changed back to what it meant before liberals illicitly changed it in the 1960's. The amendment says: "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." People who come to the US illegally have not subjected themselves to the jurisdiction of the US. How then are their children "subject to the jurisdiction" of the US? There are now companies offering birth tourism packages to expectant mothers: Message 26388414 I don't think even people here on tourist visas should be considered "subject to the jurisdiction" much less people with NO visa. Legal permanent residents aka green card holders, okay - they've gotten permanent residence in the US and most will become citizens in time.
