We should deport their arse.

wouldn't that require them to be subject to the jurisdiction of our laws?

just think of it this way

how would we deport them? our immigration laws

how do our immigration laws apply to them? they're subject to the jurisdiction of our laws

diplomats are not subject to our jurisdiction and are subject to the jurisdiction of international laws (which is why when they are expelled, it must conform with international law and not our domestic ones)

It doesn't say jurisdiction of laws.

Look SFP. I know you're a MarburyvMadison disciple of the law...but no.

It says jurisdiction thereof and the authors even stated it was NOT meant for aliens

considering we didn't have immigration laws then like we do now, "alien" does not mean anywhere near the same thing

I had a conversation late yesterday on here that led to me asking this exact same thing. I'm still waiting for an answer.

The jurisdiction thereof.

Which is the government.

If I'm in Japan I am subject to their laws but I am not subject to their government. I am still a US citizen

If that’s all they meant, it’s sort of a meaningless addition.

This is the definition of jurisdiction.

I mean, you can open a copy of Merriam-Webster, look up jurisdiction, and it'll say the right of the government to apply the law.

We would deport them because they are not citizens under the jurisdiction of our laws. They are as illegally present as their illegally present parents. Whether their illegal presence was at the moment of birth or if they came over at 5 years old. They are illegally here.

The term “subject to the jurisdiction” referred to children of slaves who were born in the US, who were not born to citizens but to slaves and as slaves. As slaves, at the time of their births they were legally present and subject to the jurisdiction of US laws, but they were not citizens.

Thankfully, the 14A changed that and made clear that former slaves born in the US are in fact m citizens. The 14A naturalized a bunch of people born under specific and narrow circumstances 150 years ago as US citizens.

It didn’t naturalize poor people from all over the damn world born on Halloween 2018, or who are trying to capitalize on laws designed to help black people overcome a tragic and horrific history.

Illegal immigration needs to STOP. Their legal status is no different than the diplomats you refer to. Send. Them. Home.

Illegal children are clearly not subject to the jurisdiction of our country. Convince me otherwise.
If an anchor baby grows up and commits a federal crime, can we areest him, charge him, try him and imprison him? If so, he is “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”

Compare him to a diplomat.

The 14th is a case study in the unintended consequences of drafting feel good legislation while emotions are high, even with the best of intent.

So, that clause basically serves no purpose? Why’s it there?

This is classic

It served a purpose in 1868.

ETA: And as bmy states in his post, it serves a purpose today.

I understand all that. Now tell me how the amendment would be different WITHOUT that clause under your interpretation.

Well my best guess would be it stays relevant because of embassies or other items related to foreign nationals, those being extradited, etc. where the US may have given up jurisdiction or other niche example.

Or its simply no longer relevant. Result is the same either way.. birthright citizenship is constitutional
