Trump thinks he cane get rid of the 14th and deport all non-citizens. Huckabee and Paul want to extend the 14th to fertilized eggs. Cruz may have some issues about his Canadian birth.
Cruz's issue raises the question of "Natural Born Citizen". Regardless of one's opinion, a fertilized egg has not been born, therefore can not be a natural born citizen, so does the 14th amendment apply to them? And since they are not citizens, Trump wants to deport them.
If one must be a citizen for the constitution to apply, how can a corporation have 1st amendment rights?
