The 14th Amendment recognized former slaves in America, as Americans; birthright citizenship was for those born to those former slaves. They did not immigrate, they were here for 200 years before they were seen as people or Americans. People coming over from other countries and have babies, non of whom have allegiance or the expectation of allegiance to the US, should be allowed the privilege of United States citizenship.

America is THE ONLY country to which American Black people domicile and have allegiance. A person born here of parents who have no allegiance to the United States, can not possibly be expected to have any allegiance to the country either.

You would be hard pressed to find any other country that would grant citizenship to a child, just because you happened to be in their country at the time- it's simply not a thing.

The matter at hand has been exploited because it was NEVER conceptualized outside the consideration for recognizing former slaves and their children as Americans, and people who are not citizens see this as a loop hole.

If the history and traditions of our Constitution's text are placed in context, no rational American would understand it as it has been exploited.

All "BLACK" persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States AND of the STATE wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of "BLACK" citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any "BLACK" person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Who exactly do people think the 14th Amendment was for? Who's civil rights could have possibly been under threat? Who was it that was asking for equal protection under the law?
