Were the non-citizen Chinese parents subject to the jurisdiction of the US?

He asks a barely-relevant question.

I respond.

He doesn't respond (Someone else does rambling incoherently).

What's funny about him failing to defend his barely-relevant question?

You could take reasonably intelligent people with little to no legal background, forget all the legalese BS and they would make a more prudent and logical legal decisions than Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson......guaranteed! Our judiciary is so full of itself and drunk on their own spiked leftist Kool Aid interpretation of the law.

If President Trump’s executive order had been in effect, none of those 245,000 would’ve received citizenship.

If you cut the line, break the law to come to our country illegally, and then have a child — they should not automatically become American citizens.

The President is trying to put a stop to this giant scam.

This^^^ came later, the original impetus behind the 14th amendment was to give freed black Americans US citizenship.


Im not sure what you mean by "later".

Of course, the impetus of the first sentence of the 14th Amendment was the Dred Scott decision, which denied citizenship to people who were born as slaves.

But the debate I referenced took place when Congress was voting on the 14th Amendment, before it was ever submitted to the States.

The language was intended to encompass the children of immigrants. Whether they were Chinese, gypsies, or "cannibals from Borneo".

Most of the SCOTUS judges don't know nor care. They have their heads so far up their asses that they can't see the world around them.
Some view the Constitution as a living document, which can be a good thing if not taken too far. I can guarantee that none of our founding fathers could have ever imagined that we'd have a President (Biden) allow tens of millions of unvetted illegals into our nation on an "honors system ".
I firmly believe, with all my soul that 80%of tax paying Americans share my same basic values and do not believe ANYONE born here by an illegal should be granted citizenship.

Sadly, SCOTUS was our best hope. They sell out cowards that we the people vote into Congress (GOP) will NEVER attempt to tackle this huge of a topic.

Trump will sign an EO, but it will be bogged down by the Marxist Judges and never take affect.
IF we continue on this direction, we're no different than the EU. It will take a while longer, but we'll eventually face the same circumstances. Someday, when this all comes to a head, it will split this nation apart. Too many of is aren't willing to sit back and allow what's coming.

No intellectually honest person can argue that the Constitution’s intent was to allow open citizenship to any woman who could jump the fence and go into labor.
Indeed. Just like the 2A doesn't apply to semi-automatic firearms.


There are times when sane and rational thought along with a dose of common sense must supersede past precedent and questionable interpretations of the law. When it comes to the abuse of the 14th amendment the US is 100 years beyond the time it should have been amended or abolished.

And that path exists via the amendment process.

That's the mechanism installed when society-technology develops to where the Constitution has inefficiencies and negative externalities on our population and citizenry.

This is exactly why the decision before the court should never consider something like what is discussed in OP. That's a subject to be discussed by a committee proposing to amend the Constitution, not the court (who must rule on our Constitution as is, and ignore those negative externalities and inefficiencies referenced above)

How about using some common sense instead of trying to be edgy on every topic

That sounds like a crutch to avoid the actual, relevant discussion

You literally argue every single topic that leans liberal and dare I say, un-American.

Not true. I was defending the hell out of the 2A today, for instance.

There is nothing partisan about birthright citizenship...for intelligent, rational people at least.

Intelligent people would mostly agree that birthright citizenship is a farce and needs to die
