The word allegiance to me is far more important and appropriate to argue.

But "allegiance" isn't in the 14th Amendment either. It also would seem to exclude legal immigrants who retain foreign citizenship as well. And that seems more like judicial activism than just taking the document on its face.

The problem with the document is that it's not specific enough, and has allowed liberals to interpret it in their own way for their advantage, and nefarious purposes. The fact that Republicans have never legally challenged, nor taken any action on the interpretation of birthright citizenship, has already set a long-time precedent to allow children born here of illegals, to become citizens.

Please provide your opinion on the two words - “or naturalized” in the 14th Amendment.
