It wasn't made to hop a flight, go into labor here, and be qualified to recieve a lifetime of benefits for your family.

As far as this kind of anchor baby, just have woman sign a waiver and/or disallow travel here if expecting.

Thats a start

Along with blue state gun laws. But I'm sure this opinion will be carefully worded as to not be such an easy precedent to apply to other amendments.

I personally believe we need to align immigration law with the realities of the 21st century.

That being said, expect the same arguments for 2A.


One of those has a reasonable chance of being ratified, and the other has zero chance.

I'd be willing to take my chances on a convention discussing both the 14th and the 2nd amendments. I think I'd be pleased if/when the 14th got amended and the 2A didn't come close.

Yes, an amendment written in 1868 did not anticipate flight.

You're correct

The references to the 2A focus on the rhetoric around the 2A and the hypocrisy unfolding.

Not with that attitude we won't!!!

The current political division in our country make a constitutional amendment seem unlikely. But I have great faith in our nation being able to pull together when the time requires.

You never know what will happen in yhe future, but I find it harmed to believe this political stalemate will last forever.

I didn't expect this to pass because I just don't see how you can argue it. I don't like it but I don't know what you're going to do to fix it.

I have very little hope for the future of this nation if foreignors have the ability to dictate the country's demographics.

Our wealth is being suctioned by an invading army intent to do us harm.

Democrats and Foreigners really will be the death of us.

this is bar for bar the exact argument the left uses to weaken 2A.

The purpose of the 2A was so that we the people were on an equal footing with the government/military if the need for another revolution arose.

"Shall not be infringed" is pretty straightforward.

I asked this question it the other thread:

Did we give up our right to choose who we allow to be citizens?

Surely that wasn't the intent?

Because that seems to be the way it is right now.

The Progressive position is simple: we are on stolen land and don't belong here unless your parents don't speak English and you were born yesterday. Then the place was made just for you.

The 2A comparison is certainly compelling at first glance.

Doesn’t it fall apart a little if you really think about intent?
Whether the framers only wanted a well-ordered militia or not, they certainly wanted to enshrine the right of the people to be armed. So you can pick around the edges of what arms can be owned, but you can’t go very far without clearly going against the intent.

Can we say that the writers of the 14th amendment wanted to give the children of the entire world, if their parents could manage to land here before their birth by hook or crook, US citizenship?

I don’t think you can say that, because I don’t think any such amendment would ever be ratified.
