...point out that the concept of an "illegal immigrant" did not exist in 1868, when the 14th Amendment was ratified.
Therefore, it's obvious that the 14th Amendment was never intended to apply to illegal immigrants, something that didn't even exist at the time.
There were LEGAL residents and LEGAL U.S. citizens.
And THAT is who the Amendment was intended to apply to.
