Repealing an existing amendment by enacting a new one--which is really how an amendment gets repealed--still requires passage by 2/3rds of both houses of Congress and ratification by 3/4ths of the states. The founders made it hard to amend the Constitution--on purpose. 
Now, if you were to say that Congress should repeal the ordinary laws that make the parents of anchor babies eligible for the various reliefs from deportation, that's a different story. |
Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Ok, so you get your wish. The 14th Amendment has now been modified to not regard children of illegal immigrants as US citizens.
People are still flooding across the border. Hospitals are still providing free service driving up costs. You do have a lot of children who are in the country regardless and so what's their status?
How has this improved my life?

Of course no single action will ease the burden illegals place on our country but this is a viable component of a larger plan. Kind of like the big argument that a fence wont prevent illegal entry. Of course it wont, but in conjunction with other actions it does provide a deterrent at the very least. A fence, increased border security, stiffer penalties for both illegals and employers and removing the anchor baby incentive are among the many things we need to do to curb this invasion. |
