The time has come to either repeal or rewrite the 14th amendment. My understanding of the 14th amendment is that it was actually meant to enhance the emancipation proclamation. It was designed to make former slaves and their off spring fully equal natural citizens. This purpose has been fulfilled for several generations now and the 14th is no longer needed for the purpose it was originally written for. If anyone has a different historical interpretation feel free to mention it. I no longer see any modern purpose for the 14th amendment but if there are any legitimate reasons to keep it maybe it could be rewritten. I just don’t believe its purpose was ever to make children of criminal trespassers citizens.
