Smaller government/less spending resonates with a lot less than half the country.

I think some of these EOs are to force the judiciary to address and rule on some of the BS every administration does when they take power.

Where in the language of the 14A is that stated?


I’m referring to an amendment process.

According to the constitution, you’re also supposed to follow federal laws.

This loophole of birthright citizenship for people that illegally cross the border while about to give labor has to be stopped.

That's not in there. The Constitution doesn't create any laws, especially criminal, it establishes the structures and framework of how the government is run.

Sounds like what CBP is there to do.

What that historically meant in the 1860s relative to the issues of citizenship and immigration is what matters.

Executive Order expected today to end birthright citizenship for illegal immigrants

The same people who are able to find gun laws, abortion, sexual destruction of children, gay marriage, etc etc in The Constitution are going to fight this tooth and nail. Bank it.

Senator Howard concerning his insertion of the Citizenship Clause:


“I do not propose to say anything on that subject except that the question of citizenship has been so fully discussed in this body as not to need any further elucidation, in my opinion. This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.“

With this line of thinking any criminal outside the US (Assange) who the US decides to prosecute can be considered a citizen since they are subject to our jurisdiction?

Our? How are illegals, non citizens, supposed to be considered “our?”

Our rights are protected. Every person in the country (even those born abroad) that are born to LEGAL American citizens are protected.

The word you are looking for is for is “their.” You want to protect THEIR rights.

Isn’t that guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution?

ETA:

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."


Sounds pretty cut and dry to me.


Except for Native Americans. They weren't granted US citizenship until after women were allowed to vote. Now tell me why they weren't allowed citizenship even though they were all born within the US. So you think that all people within this world ,other than Native Americans, has this right granted to them?

That’s not something that can be changed via EO. Headed to the courts then a battle in congress.

In the 1860s we didn’t have the government handing out free healthcare, free food, free money for free loaders. People of that time who immigrated were expected to take care of themselves. They were not the drain to the rest of society that todays illegal aliens are.

Not at all. Especially for people like Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch.

It's the same today, also. Diplomats (the true subject of the phrase) are still not subject to US/state jurisdiction. This "historical" argument fails here as well.

Also, do we expect them to rule that illegals who commit crimes can't be prosecuted?
