In the midst of a huge debate regarding our nations immigration laws, the 14th Amendment is now coming into question and is being widely opposed throughout the Republican party.  Republican senators say they intend to call hearings on overturning the 14th amendment to the constitution, which grants citizenship to anyone born in the US. Leading Republicans have denounced the provision as outdated, saying it encourages “invasion by birth canal” in which illegal immigrants smuggle themselves into the US to have “anchor babies”.
