No. The courts eff’ed up. Kids of ILLEGAL ALIENS ARE NOT CITIZENS AND WE MUST STOP PRETENDING THEY ARE.
Pissant, I agree with you on this subject. But our present laws say differently, and has for over a hundred years. Because it is an interpretation per case law, I believe it has the potential to be overturned.
If a case does make it to SCOTUS, the wording “under the jurisdiction of the United States” could be the deciding factor turning back the blanket ruling under Wong Kim Ark.
Wong Kim Ark’s parents were subjects of the Emperor of China (19th century). The Chinese Emperor and the U.S.A. had a treaty by which all the Emperor’s subjects would never be naturalized as U.S. citizens. So even if Wong Kim Ark’s folks wanted to become citizens, they could not have done so.
But they were legal resident aliens living under the jurisdiction of the U.S. I believe that is the key to denying anchor babies citizenship - their parents are here illegally.
Catch my drift?
