In January 2011, Senators Rand Paul (R-KY) and David Vitter (R-LA) proposed legislation to re-word the definition of "birthright citizenship" clause under the 14th Amendment to no longer grant children born on United States soil to illegal immigrants automatic citizenship at birth. It has been decided repeatedly by Congress and the Supreme Court that citizenship is attained by anybody born on United States soil, regardless of their heritage, or parents' citizenship status. The 14th Amendment, in its current form, is no less sacred to our Constitution and our nation's history than the 2nd Amendment, even if the former was not created by our Founding Fathers as the latter was. This petition is basically a response to the Piers Morgan deportation petition as a counterargument.
