Nice try. The 14th Amendment was intended to apply to former slaves. It was never intended to provide sanctuary to an illegal invader. By your logic, an invading Japanese or German soldier would have been protected by the Constitution. We need to legally classify illegals as invaders with no rights and be done with it.

And the poll is kicking your ass.

The poll is no surprise,,and by your own question, you are admitting I am right,,,it would take a constitutional amendment to do what you are suggesting

"Intent" is subjective...and EVERY SCOTUS...even this right leaning one..has reaffirmed the "jurisdiction" aspect of the equal protection clause
