I don't think it needs to be repealed; it needs to be applied.

And subject to the jurisdiction thereof. Are illegal immigrants subject to US law? Not if they're here illegally. They are squatters.

A bit of history:

<snip>The Amendment was intended to give citizenship to the African-American former slaves and not to Indians. Government agencies (the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Department of the Interior), and the courts (state, federal, and, ultimately, the Supreme Court) consistently held that the Fourteenth Amendment did not confer citizenship on Indians. <snip>

Sounds bizarre. The courts reasoning, at the time, was that Native Americans were tribal citizens, not American citizens. They weren't granted citizenship en masse until 1940.
