Exactly!
I have a friend, whose husband was in the Army, their first child was born in Germany. She is NOT considered a German citizen. She has a German Birth Certificate, but NOT German citizenship.
Why in Hades are people who are here illegally, when they have a child considered an AMERICAN citizen?
By a sheer act of will on the part of a lot of officials.
Anchor babies were not the intended effect of the 14th amendment. I’m not sure there’s ever actually been any legislation mandating anchor babies, either.
The 14th amendment should be repealed, because all former slaves and children of slaves are now dead. The amendment was written for their benefit.
If the 14th can be repealed, a century of horrible USSC jurisprudence would be vaporized, including the “Incorporation Doctrine.”
