Is It Time For A 28th Amendment?

One that excludes illegal immigrants from exploiting the loophole in the 14th that was written after the Civil War specifically for Black slaves, regarding natural born citizens and citizenship?

Update:

Read it again Anarchist...I just gave an alternative and explained it DA. It says "Illegal', aka Anchor Baby...

    So then what the f*ck is your alternative? You explained nothing.

    Do you want to make it so that a child has to have a parent be a citizen in order to gain citizenship by being born here? That is what it sounds like to me.

    -edit-

    I will quote the 14th ammendment:

    "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. "

    What I was asking was what specific alternative do you suggest. Do you say that if you are a legal immigrant and you have a baby here he/she can be a citizen? You weren't specific at all in the details of your suggested amendment.
