I have been seeing this a lot in the news lately. There is talk running around over the 14th amendment, which states:
In short, if you are born in the united states, you are automatically a citizen in this country. No if's and's, or but's. Because of the recent shuffle over the Arizona immigration law, a lot of talk has come into play about this. There was a recent article on cnn stating that 8% of newborns in 2008 were from undocumented parents. Aka, non-citizens. A website poll leading to an article on cnn revealed that the majority of it's visitors feel the amendment should be changed. There has also been a lot of talk about immagrints using "ancor babies" to get a foothold in the country. This has all sparked politicans and the public to consider the 14th amendment, and it's place and use in the united states.
So, what are your thoughts on this matter? Do you think the 14th amendment should stay, go, or be changed in some way? Discuss.
Note: I understand this is a very heated topic, and has the potential to get out of whack. Please keep this discussion civil, peaceful, on topic, and relavent.
The 14th Amendment said: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. ...
