Birthright Citizenship: What's the Deal?

Republican Nathan Deal, Congressman of Georgia, has done it again.
This time, his bright idea is to put an end to one of America's greatest gifts, the right to citizenship to those born in this country. Deal will tell you his concern about citizenship is noble and constitutional. He'll likely tell you that it's not focused toward any group in particular.
Yet, does anyone really believe he's telling the whole truth? I don't for a second. This is typical Deal, a human blunderbuss who is able to convince himself time and time again that he's Batman and everyone else is as crippled as Commissioner Gordon. I'm still working on who Robin is, but I'll take even odds on John Oxendine simply because he always has that "Holy Stuffed Ballot Boxes, Batman!" look on his face, especially after published reports busted him for taking millions of dollars from groups he regulates as Insurance Commissioner.
I digress.
Let's face the underlying facts to see if we can up with what could really be his motivation. Not hard: Hispanics. Remember, Deal is running to be the Governor of Georgia. I'm sure upwards of millions of Georgians agree, except when it comes time to find some low-wage labor in agricultural industry.
We all know this already--paltry poultry politics.
Mike Devine--Conservative of the Charlotte Examiner--and I had a great debate over this topic. Although he believes that undocumented workers have no right to be in this country, he agrees that the 160 years of case law stands behind the 14 Amendment as the law of the land.
What Deal has also done is to take a state race and turn it into a Federal referendum, over which he would have no control as Govenor, kind of like the way a candidate for a county commission post can do anything about school board policy but campaigns anyway to change it.
