When I say the bill violates the U.S. Constitution. I am referring specifically to the 14th amendment. which was ratified in 1868. after the Civil War. to address unequal treatment based on race. The 14th amendment reads: 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 deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The 14th amendment was quite clear.
