While maybe a small scale issue, the solution isn’t an authoritative order that tries to rewrite the U.S. Constitution and bypass democracy.

Perhaps, but this is definitely an issue/problem and the US should model it's policy after the EU on this specific issue.

Do you have much evidence that this is a real problem on the scale of the US population? I would imagine a tiny percentage of citizens were anchor children (i.e. people whose parents came to the US purely to give birth to them, then left again)

Sources for your numbers? I'm curious to learn more about how widespread this issue is. I personally have heard of 2-3 cases in my small social circle, so to me it feels more common. But I am having trouble finding actual numbers.

30k-60k out of >3m births doesn’t seem like a massive problem to me. Maybe the energy spent fighting this could be better spent elsewhere.

No perhaps. A change to the U.S. Constitution requires a democratic process, not achievable by authoritarian executive order.
