14th Ammendment
The first part of the Constitution although very important is a little boring. I would like to jump ahead about 92 years to the 14th Ammendment.
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.
This ammendment was placed into the Constitution right after the Civil War to ensure that the children of former slaves had the citizenship that they deserved. Without the 14th Ammendment one could argue that because a child's mother and father were born in Africa they are not U.S. citizens. This Ammendment is now being taken advantage of. A great idea to help correct the abhorrence of slavery is now being manipulated so that ILLEGAL immigrants can have a child while committing their crime and instead of having a negative reprocussion they get a child who anchors them in the country, a gauranteed paycheck which is higher than they made in their country of origin, food stamps, and subsidised housing. Right now in Congress they are drafting legislation to narrow the 14th ammendment to only include children who have at least one parent who is a legal resident. This type of legislation have my full support.
