Sen. Kyl: Repeal 14th Amendment

Should we start punishing kids for their parents’ behavior? Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ) wants to repeal the 14th Amendment, which says that anyone born here is an American citizen. Kyl wants the U.S.-born kids of illegal immigrants to be denied citizenship, the senator said on Face the Nation. He supports a proposal from Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)—known on the far right as “Senator Grahamnesty” for his earlier pro-immigration stance derided as amnesty—to amend the Constitution to delete this right established in 1868 to prevent Southern states from denying citizenship to slaves. "The 14th Amendment [has been] interpreted to provide that if you are born in the United States, you are a citizen no matter what," Kyl said. "So the question is, if both parents are here illegally, should there be a reward for their illegal behavior?"
