No, you’re the only ones pushing an anti-immigrant screed.
Any reading of the amendment is clear on the born right subject.
First, I'm not pushing an anti-immigrant screed. What the hell is that supposed to mean anyway?
Second, what the hell is a "born right subject"? Would that be a person born with ten fingers and toes?
LOL!
Third, the mere reading of the Amendment is only clear to those who KNOW the pertinent natural, territorial, statutory, and case law, as well as the historical development of the same. You don't. I do.
You and
surada, especially, have unwittingly contradicted yourselves repeatedly.
Unkotare, who should know better, is unwisely disagreeing with me on this thread when in fact he hasn't any real first-hand knowledge on the matter either.
C_Clayton_Jones is prattling his usual pablum sans any real knowledge about the historical development of U.S. jurisdiction for the purpose of citizenship/nationality vis-Ă -vis the constitutional construct of natural-born citizenship of original intent.
The thrust of
BS Filter's observations stems from the emboldened in the above.
BS Filter is neither denying nor ignorant of the wider constitutional applications of the 14th.
C_Clayton_Jone is just throwing shade on
BS Filter with his ho-hum regurgitation 14th-Amendment factoids.
That is to say,
BS Filter's observation regarding the incongruity between original intent and contemporary practice per the gaping hole in prevailing in immigration law, primarily due to the injudicious
Wong Kim Ark decision, is spot on.
Unlike
you, surada,
Unkotare,
C_Clayton_Jone, and others, I recognize that.
But, then, I am an expert on citizenship and nationality law--steeped in the pertinent natural, territorial, statutory, and case law, as well as in the historical development of the same. Once again:

As for
BackAgain and
Indeependent, they're not pretending to be experts; rather, they're wise and smart enough to recognize that all of you are pretending to know things you don't. How? They readily recognize that your guff is riddled with non sequiturs and logical inconsistencies.
They smell the stink leaking from your soiled undies.
