BUT THEY COULD NOT POSSIBLY HAVE MEANT TWO CRIMINAL ILLEGALLY IN THE USA CAN BIRTH A CITIZEN
As I previously stated, the Fourteenth Amendment was poorly written. It was never intended to encompass children of immigrants, criminal or not, who were born in the United States, but to the recently freed slaves and their children, so that a state could not deprive them of citizenship status because of their former condition as slaves. If you were to apply the Thirteenth Amendment literally, the Federal government could not conduct a military draft, as that is involuntary service. However, the courts went with the original intent of that amendment and permitted drafts in the two World Wars and the Cold War era through the Vietnam War. The intent of the Thirteenth Amendment is clear: no slavery in America except as punishment for crime.
