Washington State Republican Party Challenges Constitution

At its convention on Saturday, the Washington State Republican Party approved a platform that would not allow citizenship to children of illegal immigrants, according to the Seattle Times. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution, Section 1:

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 shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
