14th Amendment Assignment

1.The 14th Amendment guarantees the citizenship of anyone born on U.S soil.
2.The House Minority Leader protechs the rights of minorities, and creates strategies for maximizing the influence of the minority party on legislative outcomes.
3.John Boehner will have to protect the rights of illegal immigrants in upcoming November concerning the 14th Amendment.
4.If an illegal immigrant has a child in the U.S.,then that child is granted citezenship.
5.American courts apply pieces of the Bill of Rights to states.It also applies to local gov't.
6.Barron vs. Baltimore
7.I think it has changed because of the cost of doing it.

The gov't plans to change the 14th Amendment.It states "anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen".The problem is that illegal immigrants give birth to their children on U.S. soil so they can become citizens.Senators want the amendment changed so that this can't happen anymore.Boehner is going to argue against this in November.

  1. Boehner is suggesting to change the 14th, not the government. Barron V. Baltimore actually does not use the 14th amendment in its rationale, but you will learn more about that way later. Good post.
