The Volstead Act and the 18th Amendment ( Prohibition ) was repealed when the 21st Amendment was ratified. ( I am no scholar of the constitution - I looked this up). The 21st gives states the power to control the the sale of alcohol.....If an amendment can be ratified and then repealed in 15 years then another amendment can and should be ratified to change the archaic 14th amendment.
By allowing the the 14th to go unchanged we allow for the exploitation of the mothers and fathers of those that are citizens only because the were born in this counry. The 14 th was done to correct a wrong that occured in this country and now it is allowing for a completly different wrong to be done to those that entered into the country be an ILLEGAL means.

Our Constitution is a living document that need to be "amended" to changing times. When one section of an amendment is being used as a loophole to allow for harm to be done on this country and all citizens and non citizens, then an amendment should be ratified to proctect all .

I am not expressing my views in hopes that those who LEGALLY enter this country never bcome a citizen. Those that enter legally from any country should have be allowed to make a better life for them selves and contribute to this country

When the movie is sold out do not try and enter through th side door without a ticket and then be SHOCKED when you are kicked out even when the movie is half over.
