something must be done to issue a correction.

When society presents problems that the authors of our Constitution did not anticipate, then we are supposed to rely on the Amendment process to deal with these issues.

In this particular scenario, the constitution itself acts as an arbiter of fate with a big loophole for law-breakers

Well "law breakers" in this instance are due to Congressional statute, which can't override the Constitution. Remember when the 14A was issued, the concept of these people being "law breakers" for coming into our country was largely non-existent. Even with WKA, that was a pretty foreign concept, generally. It took a few decades after WKA for Congress to create that general, hardline law on status.

You think the vast majority of Americans support giving citizenship to any baby an illegal can crap out?

It's been ruled that way at every step and the Supremes may not even take the case up



If SFP says that it is unconstitutional and that SCOTUS will not take it up then there is a 98% chance that SCOTUS takes the case and a 87% it is constitutional.

Anyone who supports giving citizenship to illegal babies is a moron. You are advocating for the death of your country. You are choosing a very poorly misinterpreted law, whose own writers said it was not for illegals, over the preservation of our country and culture.

There is nothing more retarded than supporting your own demise. I've noticed that none of the people choosing to muddy America's DNA are willing to live in the shitholes the people they want here created. They are too stupid to understand the consequences of their own actions.

You're conflating arguments.

Discussing the court case is separate from the policy you're discussing. Your discussion is one for a Constitutional Amendment, which is the proper path for the concerns/policies you posted about.

The same "vast majority" who elected DJT largely on the immigration portion of his platform? Those people? You think they favor a child being born to parents who are here on vacation, or to parents who are here illegally, should be a US citizen?

It is how it is "interpreted". It was never intended to become the absolute mess it has become. If we take the same approach........

The 2nd amendment gives me the right to a nuclear weapon.

Common immigration policy used to be that the child was deported with the parent since they are the legal guardian. If they chose to return when they were 18 it was legal.

Anywhere else if a child is born to citizens of their country anywhere in the world they are citizens of THAT country.

Anywhere but here.

Okay, I used to give you the benefit of the doubt when you claimed to be non-partisan, but with this statement, that’s all gone now.

Quit fricking pretending you’re not a fricking leftist tool. Because you are.

Sadly I chuckle about border patrol having to help a woman stuck on the top of the fence, got her down, put her in an ambulance to head to the hospital and have the newest US citizen.

Well unless WKA is going to be effectively reversed, which of the 3 categories of excluded persons discussed at length in WKA would you argue they fall under?



WKA’s parents were legal residents. We’re talking about illegals, baw. That’s the distinction.

Again, assuming this point is true, that's why we have the amendment process.

OK, and?

Which of the 3 categories of excluded persons discussed at length in WKA would you argue that illegals fall under?

Are they diplomats? No.

Are they Indians? No.

Are they born in US territory under hostile occupation? No.

Roe was "settled law".


Not only that - Roe was based on jurisprudential gloss on the 14th amendment. Ironically, that always lacked any historical or logical underpinnings.

SFP thinks a footnote and a case based on totality different facts are infallible should bind Congress forevermore, and further contorted beyond the original meaning and historical underpinnings of the 14th Amendment - much like Roe was.

Congress makes the laws. SCOTUS interprets them. We wouldn’t be in thos position if Congress hadn’t abdicated its legislative function the executive branch sometime in the early 20th century.

Who gives a shite about dicta. Dicta don’t make precedent, baw. It’s not binding and wasn’t material to the decision, no stare decisis argument from the retard section of the court need even be addressed.
