Seems to me like progs like to stop reading bc they’re naturally lazy and criminal. The conjunction “and” is a very important part of the amendment.
Illegal children are clearly not subject to the jurisdiction of our country. Convince me otherwise.

I'm wondering about that clause. I assume they're subject to the jurisdiction thereof because they're actually in the US when they give birth despite the fact that they're here illegally, right?

Why the selective paste, why not include the part that specifically EXCLUDES "foreigners" and "aliens"?

That, being born of legal citizens, was the intent of the law when written according to some but then it was interpreted differently by others that came along later. Trump is reinterpreting the interpretation.

yes
if they weren't subject to our jurisdiction, then we couldn't do shite to them while they were here

So Trump doesn't really have a leg to stand on here, right?

That’s the entirety of section 1 of the amendment. Not sure what you’re talking about.

What do we do when a child of an illegal immigrant robs a gas station or breaks a traffic law? Do we not send them to jail or issue them a ticket?

No. wouldn't shock me if this was 9-0

Not according to SCOTUS precedent.
Elk v. Wilkins, (1884), when the Court held that a Native person born a citizen of a recognized tribal nation was not born an American citizen and did not become one simply by voluntarily leaving his tribe and settling among whites. The syllabus of the decision explained that a Native person "who has not been naturalized, or taxed, or recognized as a citizen either by the United States or by the state, is not a citizen of the United States within the meaning of the first section of the Fourteenth Article of Amendment of the Constitution."
So if an Indian who’s ancestors had been born within the borders of the USA for ten thousand years was a foreign national. An illegal invader’s child doesn’t have a shot.
Now we all know libtards love them some Roe precedent, but I wonder how they like the taste of Elk?

The word “and” btwn born and “subject to the jurisdiction” is the most important word in the clause.
Every leftist stops at “born.” In most cases leftists add things to the amendment that aren’t there. In this case they subtract.

Because that language is not in the Amendment. It’s just what the guy who wrote the amendment stated 2 years before it was ratified. The problem is that the way it is written seems to include anyone born in the US has a right to citizenship. Unfortunately, with the way it’s written and will be interpreted, Trump’s EO will not hold up....unless he does something crazy in regards to “time of war” and not letting foreigners birth here during that time, but still probably gets shot down by SCOTUS.
The best thing we can do is try to have congress define the law, wait for someone to then sue based on that law, then it miiiiight have a shot at getting through SCOTUS.
Obviously something needs to be done, just going to take a much much bigger effort than an EO.
The irony on both sides, is that the left wants to “adjust” the 2A, but doesn’t want to budge on this and we don’t want to doing anything to the 2A, but want to adjust 14A, section 1.

wong kim arc v united states supreme was the supreme court decision that first stated children born of immigrants in the us are subject to the jurisdiction of, and are, citizens. it's been the law of the land ever since. that question really seems to boil down to if the immigrants are legally domiciled versus illegally domiciled though.. the losing side of wong kim argued about the implications of birthright citizenship. the definition seems to have expanded from legally domiciled immigrants to anyone that happens to be in the us.
maybe an EO can speak to children of illegally domiciled immigrants and directing government agencies not to act on those.. obviously ultimately a congress decision / supreme court argument.

We should deport their arse. And once the federal authorities are ordered to - they can and will.

You're always subject to your local jurisdiction. In japan or afghanistan.
Jurisdiction THEREOF is different

This cannot be emphasized enough, but it won't go over well here.
