The Myth of Birthright Citizenship: A Constitutional and Historical Refutation

[pknopp]

A teenager stepping on a lawn is itself 'bleeding the meaning,' IMO. That being said, there is no way we are going to be able to identify the millions let in over the past 4 years and, many women will have had babies here.

This 'anchor baby' policy was made when our border was not being invaded and the aim was to not punish the infant by deporting it and mom. During the past 4 years we had no way of even knowing who or even how many have come in illegally which made the anchor baby policy more of a negative than positive.

There is no policy.

There is no policy.

Birthright citizenship, 14th amendment.

Birthright citizenship, 14th amendment.

Which does not create "anchor babies".

Stop with the mindless ranting.

... many women will have had babies here.
...

Good news! Those are not illegal aliens. Those are US citizens. Deport the parents if they are illegals.

So that’s a solid no then. Thanks.

So because the words "birthright citizenship :" are not in the 14th you think that it does not exist? Are you really that obtuse??

Yes it does. It give citizenship to the baby which will help parents and other family members to gain citizenship or legal residency as well as avoid deportation. The legacy media has made the term derogatory because the legacy media is not full of Democrat Marxists.

You are easily played. Isn't that a bit embarrassing?

FALSE.

Yes, if they are born here they are automatic citizens. The parents most likely won't get deported without their child though. Birthright citizenship has led to cities like Los Angles hosting maternity tourism. Complete with 'hotels' for pregnant aliens. I don't consider that 'good news' at all. Besides the 14th amendment called for the parents to first have permanent domicile status.

SCOTUS blew that out of the water with Plyler v. Doe where Justice Brennan (flaming lib) broke a tie by stating that children here unlawfully are subject to U.S. jurisdiction and thus protected by its laws.

You should be embarrassed at your own lack of coherence.

are you arguing Trump violated the Constitution?

Three US citizen children, one with cancer, deported to Honduras, lawyers say

Trump's border czar Tom Homan says the mothers had made the choice for their citizen children to be removed with them.

This case will show us (and the rest of the world) just how far America has strayed from it's founding principles. If it isn't a 9-0 decision rebuking this argument of not all people born here are citizens...its all over folks.

They very often are. They can choose to take their child with them, of course.

Stolen opportunities and services from the natives.

We've viewed it differently up here....well....not initially...but we had a town and area that was dying...the town had lost more than 50% of its population due to their paper mill shutting down, then one small mom and pop closed after another, and a school closed, kids left were bussed to another town miles away, and the people abandoned their town and homes and land. They tried to get another business to buy the mill and retrofit it in to another manufacturing business but that failed too.

I moved to Maine a few years after this happened and live maybe 100 miles North of there....(our sister town lost their paper mill a few years ago too)

To make a long story short, a group of black Muslim refugees started moving in to the dead town and region and rented and bought the empty homes for dirt cheap in this distressed community, and they bought the surrounding farm land and began to farm...I think initially to feed themselves but later developed in to the farming business and sold the food to local grocery stores... Then they bought up some of the empty mom and pop stores that left and opened businesses and shops.... Schools in the town that schooled kids from that town, got overwhelmed with costs of schooling and other problems with the huge influx of these foreigners....and the State had to come in and help initially with money....

Now Maine was 98% white and Judeo Christians....so this situation got heated for just a handful of Mainers making a lot of noise...but....that settled down and other Mainers set those loud Mainers in line and the community in the whole region, began to thrive again...the 50% left got their town services and health clinic back, their schools back, etc...

The population increase of these refugees rescued and saved the town and community.

I can understand how this may not work as well in a community that is already crowded and tons of services are used already on citizens etc...

but, imo, if they are allowed to stay, eventually after the short struggle with the influx, prosperity will come with added sales in the community, and workers hands available for businesses to expand.
