Would you agree that some sort of clarification or “revisiting” of the fourteenth amendment is in order?

When the 14th was passed there was no such thing as illegal immigration

On July 28, 1868, Secretary Seward certified without reservation that the amendment was a part of the Constitution. In the interim, two other States, Alabama on July 13 and Georgia on July 21, 1868, had added their ratifications.

Ah, if so, then the use of the word “revisiting” in the phrase “revisiting of the fourteenth amendment” might be less than accurate.

I kinda like what they did in Ireland.
