Repealing an existing amendment by enacting a new one--which is really how an amendment gets repealed--still requires passage by 2/3rds of both houses of Congress and ratification by 3/4ths of the states. The founders made it hard to amend the Constitution--on purpose.

Now, if you were to say that Congress should repeal the ordinary laws that make the parents of anchor babies eligible for the various reliefs from deportation, that's a different story.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
