Denying citizenship of immigrant children

A number of Republican congressman and others are talking about amending the Constitution so that children of illegal immigrants who are born in this country would no longer automatically be granted citizenship. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution states that "all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof" are automatically U.S. citizens. However some political figures such as Senator Lindsey Graham has called this a “mistake” and have suggested a possible amendment.
