The former Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales, whose grandparents were Mexican immigrants spoke out against Republican proposals to change the 14th amendment to prevent automatic citizenship for all children born in the U.S., regardless of parents’ immigration status.
In an op-ed commentary for “the Washington Post” Mr. Gonzales opposed G.O.P plans to revise the 14th for the very simple reason that doing so won’t work — because most undocumented workers come here to provide for themselves and their families, and a constitutional amendment will not solve the immigration crisis. People will certainly continue to cross our borders to find a better life irrespective of the possibilities of U.S. citizenship. Mr. Gonzales also added that constitutional amendment should be reserved for extraordinary circumstances.
The former Attorney General joins the list of Bush administration aides and officials who have defended the constitution against current Republicans.
