The Supreme Court’s ruling in Plyler v. Doe[3] stated that illegal immigrants are “within the jurisdiction” of the states in which they reside, and added in a footnote that “no plausible distinction with respect to Fourteenth Amendment ‘jurisdiction’ can be drawn between resident aliens whose entry into the United States was lawful, and resident aliens whose entry was unlawful.” Some legislators, reacting to illegal immigration, have proposed that this be changed, either through legislation or a constitutional amendment. If the Supreme Court adheres to current interpretations of the Fourteenth Amendment, then it may be that only an amendment would be effective to bar the children of illegal immigrants from citizenship, although Plyler did not explicitly address the question of children born in the United States to illegal aliens or other non-citizens; the children dealt with in Plyler were born outside the U.S.

note the the term “current interpretations”...that could change

Think positive!!! and let's do the footwork.

With an attitude like that the U.S. would not even exist.

Look at how hard the Roe v Wade people worked to get an amendment (or whatever the legal term is for its existence) that allows people to kill people. Unfortunately with results. We can work hard as patriots to secure our citizenship rights and who we give those rights to. IT IS OUR COUNTRY! WE NEED TO CLAIM IT AND FIGHT FOR IT.
