14th Amendment Pros And Cons
The 14th Amendment states that people who are born in the U.S. are automatically citizens. Because of this, immagrants from all over are coming over to the U.S. and are having children in order for them to stay in the U.S. I agree with this amendment, however others may disagree. Others may believe that in order for your child to become a citizen, the parents themselves must be citizens. Evidence that supports the 14th amendment is a CNN article that says, “Now Replican Sens. Rand Paul of Kentucky and David Vitter of Louisiana have proposed to amend the U.S. Constitution to require that children born in America be considered citizens only if they have at least one parent who is a citizen, a lawful permanent resident or an active member
of the military.” This means that in order for your child to become a citizen at birth only one parent must be a citizen, lawful permanent resident or an active member of the military. Not only is the 14th amendment important, it also protects certain rights of people. For example, in an article at http://kids.laws.com/14th-amendment it states, “Once you have American citizenship, it cannot be taken from you by congress or other authorities, unless you lie to government during the process to get US citizenship. Otherwise, everyone that becomes an American citizen stays an American citizen, unless they give it up themselves.” This means that the 14th amendment protects you from getting your citizenship taken away. There are also many reasons for why we need the 14th amendment. For example, if we did not have the 14th amendment, then people with no options for constructive action are more likely to go into criminal gangs and political movements meant to violently overthrown or otherwise undermine the government. As you can see, the 14th amendment is important and protects some of the rights given to people. Although I agree with the 14th amendment, others may disagree. For example, the claim that others have is that illegal immigrants abuse the 14th amendment by doing whatever they can to deliver their babies on American soil.
