Futher EVIDENCE that the purpose of the 14A was to give US citizenship to Afro-Americans ONLY

- Congress has treated each state, territory or ethnic group specifically

A person born in Hawaii on or after April 30, 1900, is a citizen of the United States at birth. A person who was a citizen of the Republic of Hawaii on August 12, 1898, is declared to be a citizen of the United States as of April 30, 1900. (June 27, 1952, ch. 477, title III, ch
 
Well as you point out that it becomes redundant to just grant citizenship rights to a group of people using an ACT. That how it was done prior to the amendment. It makes sense to just use an Amendments that would apply to anyone and take ethnicity out of the picture,

that way a group of people cannot deny another group of people citizenship based on ethnicity.

So race is no longer a requirement for citizenship that some believe should be and in the past was the defining reason to grant citizenship.

Damn, total ignorance

Regarding Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. The 14th amendment does not apply to American territories. If you are born in America Samoa, are you granted birthright citizenship? Uh, NO. Puerto Rico is still a territory, Alaska was not a state in 1924, Hawaii was not a state in 1952. Did you totally flunk American History. And American Indians, living on reservations, are not under the jurisdiction of the United States.

Did you come up with this bullshit all by your lonesome or are you just repeating someone else's ignorant babbling?

People in American territories ARE US citizens. The only difference I see is they cannot vote in presidential and congressional elections.
 
Sorry it was for former slaves. Back then if you crossed the border illegally, they shot you, so it wasn't an issue.
What possible source is spreading this shit? During the Senate debates, and I will be happy to post them from the Congressional Record. Matter of fact, I have posted them time and time again, Gypsies and Mongols were specifically mentioned.

Furthermore, for all intents and purposes the border was open. There was no "border law" or enforcement on the border until the Labor Appropriation Act of 1924. No one was "shot" crossing the border. Hell no one was even stopped.

No, only those born in incorporated territories are granted citizenship via the 14th amendment. Those born in unincorporated territories are not. See Fitisemanu v. United States.

Correct , this paranoia over the border is a recent event. People , especially native Americans crossed it all the time.

Are you a citizen? Were both your parents citizens,? Prove it.

As shown the 14A only applied to Afro-AMericans - numerous acts have been enacted since the 14A was allegedy enacted
