Why aren't they under our laws? What jurisdiction allegiance is there to their home country that prevents them from being under our laws when living here? NONE!

The only foreigners with allegiance to their country of birth was defined as foreign enemies in conflict with us, and foreign aliens who work as ambassadors when here for their government, are exempt from birthright citizenship for their children.

Just being born in another country was NOT allegiance to that country's jurisdiction when here in America.

They gave up all allegiance to their home country when they CHOSE to leave it, and come to America to live.

And yes, the 14th was written for the black slaves because they were the ONLY ONES EXEMPTED from birthright citizenship... All persons with the exception of slaves ....already had birthright citizenship for their children born here (with the exception of foreign military enemies in conflict and foreign ambassadors, both under foreign jurisdiction)

ALL PERSONS simply added slaves to EVERY ONE ELSE whose children were born citizens.

Did Americans want the hordes of Irish immigrating here during their potato famine? HECK NO! Americans hated that they were taking "their jobs" and were holding salaries down because they would work for cheaper, and taking their housing available causing rents to rise etc etc etc....much like all of your complaints today about unlawful entrants/illegal immigrants.....this was before the 14th and guess what Marty?

The kids of the hordes of unwanted Irish that immigrated here in the 1850s+ children born here, were born citizens of the united states.....!

Why were they? Because under common law, which we in America followed, all persons bearing children on our soil were born citizens except children of slaves, enemy children and ambassador children....

It was the law we followed PRIOR to the 14th.

Why would the 14th adding slaves, take away birthright citizenship to all other foreigners immigrating here Marty? It wouldn't, and it didn't. The end!

The exact wording of the 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution is as follows:
"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.".
