It's the next step in making America great again. Birthright Citizenship refers to Citizen parents, not Illegals. The 14th Amendment was only created for slaves after the civil war. It was not created for foreigners. Let's hear from the man who wrote the Citizenship clause himself, Senator John Jacob Howard:
"Every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country."
This understanding was reaffirmed by Senator Edward Cowan, who stated:
"[A foreigner in the United States] has a right to the protection of the laws; but he is not a citizen in the ordinary acceptance of the word..."
The phrase
"subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was intended to exclude American-born persons from automatic citizenship whose allegiance to the United States was not complete.
President Trump Says He Is Still "Looking Seriously" at Ending Birthright Citizenship
You're so stupid.
You fell for this lie in the 2018 election.
You're buying this lie again.
trump can't do anything about the 14th Amendment.
trump is making a total fool of you and everyone like you.
I haven't fallen for anything. The Constitution and Case law backs Trump on ending Birthright Citizenship.
Ok so trump told you in 2018 that he was going to change the 14th amendment.
There was no change. No executive order. No court case. Nothing has been done.
trump made this announcement a week ago. No executive order. No court case. No change. Nothing has been done or even debated.
All trump is doing is lying to you.
The constitution and case law doesn't back trump or you. Just saying it doesn't make it true. If the constitution and case law doesn't back up birth right citizenship then why is it still law of the land? If the constitution and case law doesn't support it the case law rulings would have made birth right citizenship illegal.
Why do you think that just saying something makes it true?
Where in the 14th amendment does it say those who are born in the United States aren't citizens by birth? What court case law says those who are born in the United States aren't citizens by birth?
Here's the exact text of the amendment. The very first sentence of that amendment says that anyone born here is a citizen. Plain English for anyone who is an American understands. There are no words of slaves or anyone's skin color so don't bring that up because there is no wording in that regard. It was written for all Americans.
I have never believed you're an American. I have always believed you're a russian. In russia working from one of the bot installations to throw the 2020 election to trump and create hate and division in our nation. You fit the profile exactly.
Either that or you like to lie or live in a very strange fantasy world.
Text of the 14th Amendment.
Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.
Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may, by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.
Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
