I'm looking for a frame of reference.
Is this a big problem or a little problem? How does it compare with the other problems we have? Will it cost more to fix this problem than to leave it alone? If you don't have the answers to these questions, then why are you focusing on this particular problem? America's got lots of problems and this is just one of many.

Who's we? I'm not looking the other way. I'm not hiring illegals. I'd like to not support them either.
The 14th has been interpreted many different ways over the years, depending on political climate. The political climate right now calls into question the soundness of the current interpretation because of those who are abusing it.

Because changing the constitution is
brain surgery. You don't want to do this unless the problem is a major problem. You also don't want to do this if the problem can be fixed with less drastic measures.
