It wa ruled on. That is the Point of the fucking opinion. They ruled that the child of these illegal aliens was a citizen because he was born here. If he were not a citizen, the law would not have applied. And a new Attorney GeneraL cannot ignore a Supreme Court ruling.You are a moron. Certiorari is to the Supreme Court. This case was decides by the United States Supreme Court. Here is the link. FindLaw's United States Supreme Court case and opinions.Sure they did. In INS v. Rios they were faced with applying Section 244(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act which allows the Attorney General to suspend an alien's deportation if the alien has been present in the United States for a continuous period of at least seven years, is of good moral character, and demonstrates that deportation would result in extreme hardship to the alien or to the alien's spouse or child, who is a United States citizen. The facts of this case were:The Supreme Court has never ruled on parents who are here illegal.
All of the Court cases was on parents who were not citizens but was here legally.
The Supreme Court has never explicitly ruled on whether children born in the United States to illegal immigrant parents are entitled to birthright citizenship via the 14th Amendment, but it has generally been assumed that they are.
United States nationality law - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Assuming is not the actual facts.
It needs to be taken up with the Supreme Court.
"Respondents, a married couple, are natives and citizens of Mexico. Respondent husband illegally entered the United States in 1972. Apprehended, he returned to Mexico in early 1974 under threat of deportation. Two months later, he and respondent wife paid a professional smuggler $450 to transport them into this country, entering the United States without inspection through the smuggler's efforts. Respondent husband was again apprehended by INS agents in 1978. At his request, he was granted permission to return voluntarily to Mexico in lieu of deportation. He was also granted two subsequent extensions of time to depart, but he ultimately declined to leave as promised. INS then instituted deportation proceedings against both respondents. By that time, respondent wife had given birth to a child, who, born in the United States, was a citizen of this country. A deportation hearing was held in December, 1978. Respondents conceded illegal entry, conceded deportability, but requested."
Now, if it were not settled law that their child, born to them while they were here illegally, is a US citizen, they had no case. The Supreme Court, however, stated that because their son was a US citizen, the law applied. It is a fact that you cannot dispute that the 1000 or so children who will be born today to illegal aliens will be citizens. Nothing you can do about it.
That is the Eighth Circuit Court
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
EIGHTH CIRCUIT
Not the Federal Supreme Court.
Ok sorry you are right.
It says;
Allows the Attorney General to suspend the deportation of an alien.
You realize that each new President appoints their own Attorney General.
It still needs to be ruled by the Supreme Court on the 14th itself.
