And my point is that the "alien part" does not exist within the Amendment itself. Perhaps it should, and perhaps the amendment should be interpreted in such a way as to exclude aliens, but that's not the current state of the law. I've really said little regarding how we should be interpreting the Fourteenth Amendment with regards to immigrants - I've focused more on how we (or, rather, the courts) do interpret the Amendment.

Article 1 does not say anything about Ambassadors yet, the Supreme Court picked that one sentence out of what Sen. Jacob Howard said and ignored the rest. How can you do that?
