The people of the United States should not get rid of the Fourteenth Amendment because it is not ethical to take it away. The Fourteenth Amendment was introduced in July 28, 1868. The purpose for this amendment was getting the people who were born in the United States the same freedom as any other American citizens. The Fourteenth Amendment states,
All person born or naturalized in the United States and of the state where in the 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’ (Jordan, …show more content…
Jack Kemp a person in the article, “American Should Great Birthright Citizenship to Children of Illegal Immigrants,” argues that “restrictions on citizenship are not the right way for the United Stated to respond to the problem of illegal immigration.

What happens to the ten percent of mothers that gives birth in the United States hospital? Does the Fourteenth Amendment really causes so much problems that they have to get rid of it? In my opinion I do not find anything wrong with this amendment. How coldhearted will it be to not take care of people? For every hospital in the United States, they do not care if we are citizen. They will only care about our health or how we going to pay them. If the doctors do not care who they take care of in the hospitals, why should the United States citizens? The doctors still take care of their patients no matter which state, country, or religion you are. The U.S citizens should mind their own lives, rather than getting into other people
