You cons can keep shouting "civil war" all you want. The reading of the Amendment is CLEAR on its intent. If you want to parse words, let's talk about a "well-organized militia."

Yes and it clearly gave citizenship to those naturalized (past tense) and those born at the time of the amendment's passing. It was not a free pass in to the future. Legislation is/was supposed to address the ever changing need for or lack of need for immigration.

"This will NOT, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, or who belong to the families of ambassadors" Jacob Howard - Author of the
#14thAmendment Truth and history are on our side. -

Like a list: 1 is" foreigners" (coma) 2 is "aliens who belong to the families of ambassadors"He has explained the intent at that time and that holds all the weight. Foreigners baby is a foreigner here very explicitly excluded. Changed in the 60's now going back to original intent

I’m glad President Trump has troops at our border. These are a bunch of people I don’t feel like supporting with my tax money. Too bad shepherd Smith is always bashing Trump. Bash Trump, you’re bashing me. Pull your skirt up shep, it’s ok.
