LIke I said, that was an amendment to the constitution to deal with freed slaves after the civil war. It was never intended to be used in the way it is today. If you live in Germany for instance, and you have a work visa but are not a citizen and you have children born in Germany while you are there under a work visa, they are not citizens of Germany. That is the way it should be here as well.

Huh? If that is what you think I was saying then you obviously misunderstood my point.
