The "ANCHOR BABY" law happens to be the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution. Which states that all persons born in the US are citizens of the US. Originally intended to grant citizenship to slaves, but it had no sunset clause in it, and it remains the law.
It's not a simple matter to "take it off the books". It has to be repealed, and that requires passage by two thirds of both houses of Congress, and then ratification by 36 of the 50 states.
