, the 14th Amendment does not grant citizenship to a child born on American soil whose mother is a foreign national. ....
The Supreme Court disagrees with you. .
And your documentation is?
...is already posted on this thread. Stop chasing your own tail.
Your disingenuousness [sic] is showing!
Your stupidity is showing. Wong Kim Ark's parents were both foreign nationals.
Actually, your ignorance of the law is showing by citing the Wong case to support your silly notions.
With regard to the Wong Kim Ark case, it must be remembered the Court pointed out the parents of Wong Kim Ark had been here legally, were settled in American for quite some time, they had a permanent domicile and residence in the United States, and they were carrying on a business, and were not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the emperor of China at the time of his birth. And after mentioning the above specific facts the Court then stated with regard to Wong Kim Ark’s question of citizenship
”
For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative.”
In this thread we are talking about a foreign national who enters our country illegally, and gives birth to a child. Under such circumstances the child's mother cannot be said to be 'subject to the jurisdiction' of the United States within the meaning of the 14th Amendment.
See in IN RE SLAUGHTER-HOUSE CASES, 83 U.S. 36 (1872) in which the Court states the following regarding the 14th Amendment:
“That its main purpose was to establish the citizenship of the negro can admit of no doubt. The phrase, subject to its jurisdiction' was intended to exclude from its operation children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign States born within the United States“.
The parents of Wong Kim Ark made themselves subject to our government's jurisdiction within the meaning of the 14th Amendment by settling in American for quite some time, by having a permanent domicile and residence in the United States, and by carrying on a business.
