The 14th Amendment is in reality an amazingly good amendment in practice.

Horse Hockey. The 14th Amendment is the vehicle whereby any pregnant woman in the world can come into this country, drop her kid, and have him automatically become a citizen. Of course she has to stay here to take care of him but she can't earn a living. So we put her on welfare. Yes, the 14th Amendment is "amazingly good".

That is only the consequence of lazy and inconsistent analysis by the US Supreme Court in the case of Wong Kim Ark. Maybe someone should challenge Wong Kim Ark as they challenged Plessy v. Ferguson.

Yeah I live across the hall from 3 examples of the abuse of this Amendment. I'm harmed by it every day, by my loss of sleep, and inability to not be interruped by the screaming of these kids being abused. I love My Country, but truly despise some of the people in government.

I'm not really willing to blame the failure of the Federal government to protect the borders on the 14th Amendment. The Amendment did not contemplate that failure. Nor do I think that it contemplated the collapse of the 10th Amendment.

Nonetheless, the 14th provides for the Federal government to protect us from tyranny by the States. The 10th Amendment through States Rights allows the States to interpose themselves between Federal tyranny against their people. When both are used by the people for the purpose of defending themselves against tyranny, then they are safe from both directions.
