There... fissed it fo you.
Who's deporting African ex-slaves or their offspring?
> Congress ratified the 14th Amendment in 1868, guaranteeing citizenship for all, including Black people.
Mmmm... no.
The amendment was enacted SPECIFICALLY for purposes of assisting newly freed BLACK people. Although the 13th Amendment ended slavery, it left
uncertain the status of those who had been kept in bondage. - ACLU.org

14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: Civil Rights (1868)
Citation: The House Joint Resolution Proposing the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, June 16, 1866; Enrolled Acts and Resolutions of Congress,
1789-1999; General Records of the United States Government; Record Group 11; National Archives.
Passed by Congress June 13, 1866, and ratified July 9, 1868, the 14th Amendment extended liberties and rights granted by the Bill of Rights to
FORMERLY ENSLAVED PEOPLE.
Now... if you can prove other birthed races who were slaves...
They were not "talking" about anyone else but SLAVES.
Following the Civil War, Congress submitted to the states three amendments as part of its Reconstruction program to guarantee equal civil and legal
rights to BLACK CITIZENS. A major provision of the 14th Amendment was to grant citizenship to "All persons born or naturalized in the United
States," thereby granting citizenship to FORMERLY ENSLAVED PEOPLE.
Not only did the 14th Amendment fail to extend the Bill of Rights to the states; it also failed to protect the rights of BLACK CITIZENS. A legacy of
Reconstruction was the determined struggle of BLACK AND WHITE CITIZENS to make the promise of the 14th Amendment a reality. Citizens petitioned and
initiated court cases, Congress enacted legislation, and the executive branch attempted to enforce measures that would guard all citizens" rights.
While these citizens did not succeed in empowering the 14th Amendment during Reconstruction, they effectively articulated arguments and offered
dissenting opinions that would be the basis for change in the 20th century.
If the Democrats can argue against the 1st and 2nd Amendments being "old and out-of-date", *I* can argue that the 14th was NOT written to include
ANYONE else OTHER than ex-slaves.
