Trump will announce end of birthright citizenship for children of illegal immigrants, officials say

The people not to be included were foreign diplomats and American native tribes, not the children of immigrants.
 
Well, the UK will probably reverse course now that the Labor is back in charge.



Actually, there's a whole lot of science proving the value of GAC



Sick stuff
 
Those aliens and non-citizens were Native Americans, and diplomatic personnel or their families. Stop making shit up! If it isn't written into the text of the amendment, it doesn't fly, because we cannot assume something that is not there. Doing that is what got us Roe v. Wade because there was nothing in the text of the Constitution to support abortion rights.
Ok, show me where they meant aliens meant natives?
 
Because they were not under the jurisdiction of the US, they were mentioned!

there were also aliens here, who were not under the jurisdiction, at the time too (non citizens), so, being that the 14th amendment doesn't mention aliens, it also doesn't mention native Americans, so now we're back to having no definition.
 
... because then they were not citizens.
Neither were any other people in the country at the time who weren't citizens.

Were trying to define "subject to the jurisdiction". Now, I've provided text of the debates of the people who wrote the amendment, defining what they meant, but have been told that since the words of the debate were not included in the amendment, then they don't matter. Well, the words native Americans were also not written into the 14th amendment so, that's not what they meant either.

There is a definition and that included everyone who was not under the jurisdiction. Why can't you get that through your thick cranium?

Not under the jurisdiction included Native Americans because they were not under the jurisdiction of this country. They were not US citizens. Why do you continue to argue against yourself?

No, your argument fails on the merit of the language of the amendment.

Where is that definition? Because your definition is obviously different than mine. I'm taking my definition from the people who wrote the amendment.... jurisdiction, in this case, was anyone not owing allegiance to any other country.

where are you getting your definition?

And neither were any other foreigners (non citizens) under the jurisdiction of the country. Jurisdiction is not about "laws" in this case, it's about owing allegiance to any other country or a country having complete jurisdiction over a person.

In the debates that we've read, native Americans were not even mentioned.

Why can't you look at what the writers intended?
