Civil rights activist Ted Hayes argues that illegal immigration is "stealing the birthright" of Black Americans, specifically citing the 14th Amendment which was intended for former slaves.

Anchor Babies and the Misinterpretation of the 14th Amendment
Ted Hayes claims the 14th Amendment has been "twisted" into a custom of birthright citizenship for anyone born on U.S. soil. He points to the Civil Rights Act of 1866 to show the amendment was specifically designed for the protection of former slaves. Mo argues that if Republicans truly wanted to engage the Black community, they would focus on how these legal loopholes disadvantage American citizens.
