The key phrase in the 14th is; “and subject to the jurisdiction”. If someone is here illegally they are not subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Simply being on US soil does not qualify. They are subject to US laws, not US jurisdiction.
The amendment does not need to be changed it just needs to be followed correctly.

true, that and the discussion on the floor when it was passed proves it was not to provide citizenship to illegals, but the sorry a== government never appealed the liberal courts ruling that stated other wise and jorge and the homeland security are happy about it.
