Of course, it is without exception being reported as “wanting to change the 14th Amendment”, no doubt to instill that very thought — “amend the Constitution!? he’s crazy!” — in the audience.

Like many Members of Congress, McConnell is fuzzy on the Constitution. The last clause of the 14th Amendment gives Congress the authority to enforce it, by “appropriate legislation.” The first paragraph refers to people who are “subject to the jurisdiction” of the United States.
There is NO NEED to amend the Constitution. Congress only has to pass appropriate legislation to make the problem of anchor babies disappear. All it takes is reading the Constitution, a task that some Congressmen and many reporters are unable to do.

They just need to revisit the Federal Government’s W[r]ong interpretation of the 14th Amendment in that regard.
