The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments. The amendment addresses citizenship rights and equal protection of the laws, and was proposed in response to issues related to former s***es following the American Civil War. The amendment was bitterly contested, particularly by Southern states, which were forced to ratify it in order for them to regain representation in Congress. The Fourteenth Amendment, particularly its first section, is one of the most litigated parts of the Constitution, forming the basis for landmark decisions such as Roe v. Wade (1973), regarding a******n, and Bush v. Gore (2000), regarding the 2000 p**********l e******n. The amendment limits the actions of all state and local officials, including those acting on behalf of such an official.

Section 1. All 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 citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any 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.

I h**e to disagree with you, but I don't think you fully understand exactly what the 14th amendment is all about. I would suggest that you try reading this page. http://publiushuldah.wordpress.com/2011/01/10/judicial-abuse-of-the-fourteenth-amendment-a******n-sexual-orientation-gay-marriage/

The term “due process” as used by the Supreme Court is dead wrong and THEY KNOW IT. Being lawyers that are fully aware of exactly what it means, yet they use it to make judgements for things they are NOT ALLOW TO HEAR. The problem come in with the fact that most Americans have no idea what that term means and are to lazy to look it up. They take the word of the Supreme Court, since they are trusted by the people and after all, they should know what they are talking about. In fact they do, but it is not what is meant by “due process.” They are fabricating things out of thin air so they can hear a case they want to issue a ruling on.

“Due process of law” is a term with a “precise technical import” going back to the Magna Charta. It means that a person’s Life, Liberty or Property can’t be taken away from him except by the judgment of his peers pursuant to a fair trial! Specifically, that freed s***es could not be punished except pursuant to the judgment of their peers after a fair trial where they could appear, cross-examine witnesses and put on a defense! “Life” meant “life” as opposed to being lynched; “liberty” meant being out of confinement instead of in confinement; & “property” meant the person’s possessions.

Yet the Supreme Court is constantly doing things it should not do and quite a few of them age against the Constitution. During Roe V Wade, she was not even present and had no idea what was being done without her knowledge. She was kept in the dark about most things and she was not allowed in the court room to hear the entire case decided.

Another thing I would do if I were you is to follow the links given and read up on a lot of the stuff that most people never learn.

I asserted my rights as a result of being economically challenged and socially challenged. Just because I'm black doesn't mean I'm from Africa:Which is a Stereotype from w***e s*********ts America. I'll review the video you posted and comment but I disagree with you that I can't assert my rights in a public forum. Its my constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech.

If you haven't noticed the United States of America is currently experiencing an I*****l I*********n Crisis at the Mexican Boarder in California. And since the enactment of Cyber Drones National Security is enforcing maximum security at every U.S. Boarder including Canada and Haiti and much much more. In addition the United States Constitution 14th Amendment doesn't address issue's of Gay Marriages, A******n, or Homosexuality. In fact, the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution directly states clauses and provisions such as Due Process, Equal Protection of the Law, Citizenship, Immunity, and Substantive and Procedural Requirements. So, I do believe that an assertion of my rights is politically correct in a public forum in regards to "Birth Rights." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution)

Rembermer the 14th.says "under the jurisdiction of the United States are citizens of the of United States and the state they live in" right so how can child been born to a illegal parents in the US.be a American? Under the law a child under the of 18yrs under jurisdiction of the parents'so if the parents are illegal then they are to a illegal until the child is 18 or the child that crossed border also is still an illegal. We must enforce this law now!!!!! If not the Congress then the States must do it themself and tell the Feds to go to hell.

A child born on U.S. Territory is legally a U.S. Citizen; one of the parents has to be a citizen of the U.S. though. Even if the mother is unwed an doesn't know who the father of the born fetus is the U.S. still accepted the responsibility of aiding the foreign resident because of the Public Hospital and therefore is responsible for the childs birth. Unless the child is born outside on the streets.

A 27-year-old woman went into labor Wednesday while trying to enter the country through the Port of Lakeville in Arizona. Federal authorities at the southern Arizona crossing ended up having to help deliver the baby. A short time later, she successfully gave birth to a healthy baby boy. The boy will be a United States citizen since he was born on American soil. (http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3170014/posts)

It was 5 a.m. and CBS News national correspondent Byron Pitts is with a woman who is nine months pregnant. She's rushed to a south Texas hospital to undergo a C-section - a $4,700 medical procedure that won't cost her a dime. She qualifies for emergency Medicaid. She gave birth to a healthy, 8 1/2 pound baby boy - born in America. His Mexican mother gave him an American name: Eliot. Eliot is one of an estimated 300,000 children of i*****l i*******ts born in the United States every year, according to the Pew Hispanic Center. They're given instant citizenship because they are born on U.S. soil, which makes it easier for their parents to become U.S. citizens.

The utter humanitarian disaster we are witnessing on our southern border, deliberately orchestrated by the Obama administration as a part of his effort to fundamentally t***sform America, has pushed birthright citizenship back into the discussion. Because the current policy is that any child who is born here, even to an i*****l a***n, is automatically a citizen of the United States, pregnant i*****l a***ns by the thousands commit criminal trespass in order to give birth on U.S. soil. There is also a bustling business in birth tourism, where pregnant foreigners on tourist visas are hosted by a growing hospitality industry dev**ed to their comfort until the day of delivery – and U.S. citizenship – arrives. All this has led to calls to amend our Constitution to bring this misguided and misdirected practice to an end.

Please be advised that I have five generations of grandmother's born in the United States every since the 1600 century s***e trade. Therefore, my birthrights are rooted in United States Origin through my genery from generation to generation. In fact, I inherited equal rights, freedom of speech guarantee, and my United States Constitutional Rights and freedoms as a American born citizen.

Note: Article I, section 2, of the Constitution was modified by section 2 of the 14th amendment.

Section 1.
All 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.

A passport is a travel document, usually issued by the government of a nation, that certifies the identity and nationality of its holder for the purpose of international travel.[1] Standard passports contain the holder's name, place and date of birth, photograph, signature, and other identifying information. Passports are moving towards including biometric information embedded in a microchip embedded in the document, making them machine-readable and difficult to counterfeit. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passport)

United States passports are passports issued to citizens and non-citizen nationals of the United States of America.[3] They are issued exclusively by the U.S. Department of State.[4] Besides issuing passports (in booklet form), also limited use passport cards are issued by the same organization subject to the same requirements.[5] It is unlawful for U.S. citizens to enter or exit the United States without a valid U.S. passport or Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative-compliant passport-replacement document, or without an exception or waiver.

Basically, foreigners are entitled to their Universal Declaration of Human Rights as a Human Being. As cited in the United Nations General Counselor's of Human Rights @ http://www.un.org/en/documents/udhr/

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) is a declaration adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on 10 December 1948 at the Palais de Chaillot, Paris. The Declaration arose directly from the experience of the Second World War and represents the first global expression of rights to which all human beings are inherently entitled. The full text is published by the United Nations on its website.[1]

The Declaration consists of thirty articles which have been elaborated in subsequent international treaties, regional human rights instruments, national constitutions, and other laws. The International Bill of Human Rights consists of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and its two Optional Protocols. In 1966, the General Assembly adopted the two detailed Covenants, which complete the International Bill of Human Rights. In 1976, after the Covenants had been ratified by a sufficient number of individual nations, the Bill took on the force of international law.
