Just by being born on American soil does not make one American. The Chinese are flying their people in just to have babies in America, because for some reason, we have a retarded policy. These babies are supposedly every bit as American as actual American citizens.
You definitely are not an American. You WANT the invasion to cross over the border. Why any Americans should listen to such anti-American nonsense is beyond me.
yes they are citizens just like any person who is born on our soil and under our jurisdiction, unless they are Diplomats and have Diplomatic Immunity, where they do not answer to our jurisdiction/laws. Giving babies born here citizenship, was the way our founders got non-citizens to come and live here... it was an incentive for non citizens from Europe to come and populate our nation.... before the 14th Amendment gave that birthright to Slaves.
no.
A. Graham, "The Original Congressional Debate on Birthright Citizenship" | Counter-Currents Publishing
"The minutes of the 1866 congressional debate over the citizenship clause of the Fourteenth Amendment make for interesting reading. The clause is proposed by Senator Jacob Howard, who adds that “
persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers” are excluded from it as dictated by the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”[1]"
the way you are saying is completely wrong as per the people who wrote the amendment. you can argue with them if you'd like but if you're going to use the constitution as proof, use it as intended, not as you may wish for it to be.
the SC ruled on it back in the day - so the liberals need to stop changing it cause they want votes, or for whatever reason they feel the need to today.
"The Supreme Court stated in the Slaughterhouse Cases of 1873 that the phrase
“subject to the jurisdiction thereof” excluded “children of ministers, consuls, and citizens or subjects of foreign states born within the United States.” This was dismissed as an
obiter dictum in
United States v. Wong Kim Ark (1898), but it was the prevailing interpretation up to that point. This was again confirmed in
Elk v. Wilkins (1884), in which the Court decided that an Indian who had severed his tribal ties was nonetheless not a citizen due to the fact that he owed allegiance to his tribe at the time of his birth."
