And everything else is up to the courts at this point.
But its Texas...I wish they would just secede already.
I've actually read statements from constitutional scholars that believe that the 14th amendment doesn't guarantee citizenship to people that are born here. I've read the opposite as well.
Things like this that have a gray area allow for the justices to interpret it however they personally see it, which I'm not a very big fan of. I'd prefer that all laws and amendments be presented in clear and concise language that takes away the ability for a justice to interject personal viewpoints and biases into their rulings.
