You can kick illegal invaders out, though, and should. If the "citizens" have some other alternative, fine. Otherwise, their criminal parents leave, they either take them or leave them. If they take them, at least they have a choice when they reach 18.assuming that were true, it would be irrelevant. that doesn't change the language of the 14th amendment, and you can't kick citizens out of the country.Yes, while explicit, it does not take into account the phenomenal increase in "Americans" born here for no other purpose than collecting public welfare, .Considering that at the time the 14th Amendment was written and ratified (1868) there was no need to establish birthright citizenship as a policy. Immigrants to the US during that period were eager to become US citizens, to assimilate and through their naturalization, establish themselves and their children thereafter as legal, legitimate citizens of their chosen nation. Illegal, criminal invaders were certainly not the norm, nor was the effort to spawn on US soil in order to establish a beachhead and an anchor to claim all types of privileges reserved for legal immigrants..There is no "birthright" citizenship. The "Original intent" of the 14th amendment was to make slaves and their children citizens. Not illegal aliens.
And?
So you think that if circumstances change- you can just ignore the Constitution?
The language of the 14th Amendment is very explicit. You can't just ignore it.
Well you can try.
Meanwhile- you can't deport American citizens- but you can deport their parents.
