An American Black Man’s Interpretation of the 14th Amendment

One must ask, why are the leftists, Democrats, in America so hell-bent on granting citizenship to those here illegally?

EXCERPT:

I find it very perplexing and hypocritical that the progressive socialist left, aka the Democrat Party, is so interested in the 14th Amendment. Back when it was being created and debated, Democrats were staunchly against the 14th Amendment. As a matter of fact, they were against the preceding 13th Amendment, which ended slavery in America. These two Amendments, along with the 15th, were legislative endeavors and policies sought out by Republicans. Yes, the same Republican Party that was established for one single issue: the abolition of slavery. I believe that we should have a strict originalist interpretation of the Constitution, not this living constitution nonsense leftists seek to impart. And they do so for a very specific reason, and that is to manipulate the Constitution to fit into their designed ideological agenda.

Such is the case with the 14th Amendment, especially Section 1.

The 14th Amendment’s original intent was to grant citizenship to the Blacks in America who had just been made free by the 13th Amendment. Remember again that the Democrats did not support either of these amendments then, and according to Joe Biden, “No amendment to the Constitution is absolute.”
