If you're a lawyer, you don't want to ever hear this.
This is "get reported to the bar" territory.

Like with the last Supreme Court ruling that popped this MAGA-infused bubble?

So illegality didn't exist prior to the 14th?

Fair point.

That's not what I said.
"Illegal immigrants" as we conceive of the term today, is a function of Congressional action that occurred after WKA.
And Congress cannot create a class of person to overrule a Supreme Court ruling.

I had Sotomayor locked and loaded.

The fact his parents were here legally was literally 1 of the key facts in the case.
But; if I follow your made up logic; if the concept
Of being here illegally wasn’t around then; (which is absurd) then you admit WKA doesn’t apply.

Ok then alien didn't exist?

Or maybe the ones that obliterated Roe or solidified presidential immunity?
Keep denying there’s a case here.

Based on what was meant at the time, foreigners and aliens along with diplomats were to be excluded.

Not at all.
WKA established 2 exceptions to the rule. You have to fit illegal immigrants into one of the boxes, which is not possible.
They are clearly not diplomats.
They are clearly not a hostile force occupying areas of the US.
You're adding a layer of analysis on top of these exceptions that the court never did ("legal presence"), nor does it even make sense. How are people occupying American land in a hostile manner here legally?

But legality didn't exist per slow fanni

I'm making the textualist argument. Legislative intent is irrelevant

I felt that was likely

Least controversial opinion ever. I never disputed Presidential immunity
Try again.

quote:Then how is this currently applied to diplomats and no one else if intent isn’t relevant? You have yet to answer that. You talk about it being applied to diplomats because that’s how it was understood at the time. Then you say you’re a textualist. You’re talking out of both sides of your mouth. You’re being a hypocrite.
Legislative intent is irrelevant

In the way we understand the terms, that started with the 1920s (Quota Law and Immigration Act).

False. If you are a textualist as you claim, then the jurisdiction piece wouldn’t only apply to diplomats as it currently does. It would apply to anyone here temporarily: people visiting on vacation, people here illegally,
are people here illegally here temporarily if they don’t intend to leave?
the idea that they have an allegiance to a foreign sovereign relies heavily on them wanting to still be citizens of that country.
something Tourists, Diplomats, and Native american have in common.

This is an incredibly stupid take. Of course it was. Post-revolutionary migration was always legally sanctioned and controlled at the state or territorial level. But the issue isn’t necessarily who is here illegally, but what constitutes citizenship.
