Word of the law vs intent 
Based on the word of the law, anyone born in the USA should be a citizen.
Intent determinations require a subjective stances. Unless there is information out there which explicitly states the purpose, I don't like the use of subjective determinations and find them problematic.

Here's what was originally said:
quote:
It has been misapplied by leftist USC justices since then to included those it was never written for
The problem is that the wording doesn't allow for "misapplication". We can believe it should not have been all-encompassing, but the simple fact of the matter is that it was written with a very specific text. To change that, it would require a ratification of change to the 14th Amendment. Anything other than that is judicial activism.
