Poll & Survey: Do you think the 14th amendment should be abolished and/or changed?

Do you think that the 14th amendment makes it too easy to become a US citizen?

F.Y.I. The 14th amendment (basically): Born on US soil, you are an automatic US citizen.

Update:

To IM FOKING SLEEPING, if the amendment gets changed today, all persons born before the law was taken into effect would not be effected. "ex post facto", google it. So no, everyone whould still be a citizen, just the newborns after the law would not get citizenship. Do a little research bud.

Update 2:

Also, the Amendment was created after the Civil War, durring the reconstruction to help blacks gain citizenship to vote and be free. Again, do some research bud.

Update 3:

True, it is focused on Latinos because they are the majority of the immigrants that are using "Anchor Babies". Yet, I still think it is stupid that a person can be born here and gain automatic citizenship for just being born on U.S. soil. I was born overseas in Germany, on German soil, in a German Hospital, by German nurses and doctors and I am 100% USA and no German citizenship.

    wouldn't that make that all the other people here illegals not just latinos. no im still for it staying after all they created the amendment for whites but only now they want to get rid of it now that the latinos are becoming citizens.

    and im German, Welsh, and Native American. that was my Native American side talking

    well i guess i forgot about that one in government class but anyways you cant say that this isnt aimed at a specific race it is there is no getting around that and it seems they will never get the border fixed because its to big of an area for a small amount of people to watch if they fixed it there would be no need to abolish it
