Quote:I am not now and never have been a constitutional lawyer, but at the same time i know that the constitutional protection of free speech still doesn't allow you to scream bomb on a plane and the right to keep and bear arms doesn't mean that you wouldn't have to comply with background checks or registration requirements.  In that vein and given the plain text of the amendment i think that if you had a bill that simply directed that parents here illegally don't qualify as being under the jurisdiction there of and had a hearing or a review of their legal status as part of determining the status of the child you would comply with the fundamental directive of due process and you would be using the text of the 14th amendment not repealing it.
