Yoo LOSE!
“Tradition” is NOT “law”!
Suppose you are correct about the meaning of “subject to the jurisdiction of”? (I don’t think you are right, but for the moment, stipulate that you are).
How do you see this playing out so that citizenship can be denied to anchor babies?
I mean, the courts won’t agree, Congress will not enact legislation and if they do, it will be ruled unconstitutional.
Don’t you think it would be simpler, easier, and more effective to amend the Constitution? It is the interests of the States and the People that are at issue here, the ruling elites are all in for illegal immigration.
There was a generally unchallenged opinion at the time to base “birthright” citizenship on a determination of the rights of the children of Chinese laborers brought in to build the western end of the Union Pacific railroad, who then later returned to China with their children who had been born within the United States.
United States v. Wong Kim Ark, 169 U.S. 649 (1898), is a United States Supreme Court case in which the Court ruled that practically everyone born in the United States, except American Indians, were U.S. citizens. The difference is, that the Chinese parents had been within the United States territory for purposes of permitted labor, then had returned to China when the work ended, taking with them the children born here.
There was, for many years, a policy of exclusion of Chinese from the United States, and a number of them were expelled and forcibly sent back to China. The earthquake that destroyed much of San Francisco (1906), also destroyed the official archives of records, and many Chinese slipped in relatives because these were “paper sons” that had been born back in China, but claimed for US birth.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Faced with such vague rationalizations, the US Federal government took a much more lenient view of “Birthright Citizenship” than would have otherwise been applied. The concept has NEVER been fully tested in court.
If we declare ourselves to be Democrat presidents or Democrat presidential candidates, tradition says that we cannot be prosecuted for multiple serious felonies.
Win-win!
