JOP on Repeal of 14th Amendment
I don't always agree with Jaime O. Perez, infact we are usually on the opposite side of almost every issue that comes to mind. But he sent out this press release and I think he's right on this one.
Mr. Perez said, "The 14th Amendment, adopted in 1868, granted citizenship to "all persons born or naturalized in the United States," including slaves.
The Constitution should be left alone. John McCain stated, "I believe that the Constitution is a strong, complete and carefully crafted document that has successfully governed our nation for centuries.." He is correct.
Tinkering with the Constitution in the modern day vitriolic and toxic political environment can only bring hurt to our nation.
The spirit behind the move to tinker with the Constitution is, regrettably, born of bigotry. Recognizing this will go a long way towards thwarting any attempts to modify the constitution.
We must secure our borders and fix the immigration problem through thoughtful compromise and pursue what is in the best interests of our nation. As Americans, we must not open the door for tinkering with the constitution. Once opened, the tinkering will continue at the hands of those on opposite ends of the political spectrum.
Short term political strategies can result in long-term and irreparable damage to our democracy."
