This section of the 14th Amendment.
“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”.
Repealed under this provision of Article V of the Constitution:
“the Application of the Legislatures of two thirds of the several States, shall call a Convention for proposing Amendments, which, in either Case, shall be valid to all Intents and Purposes, as part of this Constitution, when ratified by the Legislatures of three fourths of the several States, or by Conventions in three fourths thereof, as the one or the other Mode of Ratification may be proposed by the Congress.”
And replaced with intentions of the 10th Amendment:
"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Might solve a lot of problems
One thing is for certain-—there are a whole lot more bleeding states than there are Red states!
Seriesly, no their not and this is hugh
Properly interpreted, the 14th Amendment does not confer birthright citizenship on anyone who happens to be born here.
Such an interpretation - the prevailing one, according to our judiciary, of course - is but one of many utterly ridiculous aspects of modern America.
Has the state of Hawaii made and are they enforcing a law that allows foreign born people to obtain a birth certificate that makes it appear as if they are born in Hawaii, USA? This means that people who are not born citizens or naturalized as citizens can obtain all the privileges granted by the Constitution even to the point of being elected to the highest office in our land. Does this not infringe upon the privileges of native and naturalized citizens? If not, why make a distinction between citizens and non-citizens for any purpose?
“Their” or “There”? Makes a difference.
