Citizenship

Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, indicated below, should be amended to eliminate one of the arguments of the apologists for illegal immigration. Children born of illegal immigrants should not be citizens because their birth in our country was the result of an illegal act. The children of illegal immigrants should not be rewarded by the illegal act of the parents. Section One of the Fourteen Amendment should say that “All persons born, whose parents are United States citizens, and all persons naturalized in the United States.” With this amendment, there is nothing preventing the return of the entire family back to their country of origin.

Amendment XIV

Section 1. 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. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
