I, for one, am deeply grateful that Mr. Trump has made an issue out of the injustice of the 14th Amendment. His proposal to review the provision of the 14th Amendment that rewards illegal immigrants with citizenship for their disgusting anchor babies and allows hordes of them to spill over the border like waves of angry fire ants. But that's not the only disgusting outrage in what I call The Filthy 14th....
Quote:
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

It's about time that a courageous public figure, utterly unconcerned with "political correctness," liberal media bias, skewed political polls, 147 years of national policy, so-called "white guilt" over so-called "slavery," mainstream political thinking, or "doing the right thing" has brought attention to this outrage of a law. The 14th Amendment amounts to legal theft from hard-working property owners and amounts to a massive giveaway to the laziest freeloaders on earth.
Where is the appreciation for the travel expenses, room and board, clothing, food, health care, vocational education, and other services these property owners gave to the Negroes? Shouldn't that debt be worked off through labor? What of the contractual obligations invalidated by this terrible law? What about the precedent of a vicious class-warfare fueled transfer of wealth from Southern property owners to ignorant laborers with no faculty for advancing civilized society through industry?
You have to give Mr. Trump a great deal of credit for shining light on this injustice, and taking initial steps to return America to a more righteous and just past that flourished in America prior to the War of Northern Aggression.
