The children of illegal aliens are most certainly NOT "subject to the jurisdiction thereof"

So, we couldn't charge them with a crime or make them pay taxes? Are you claiming that the children of illegals effectively have diplomatic immunity?

YES to the the former, and NO to the latter.

You appear to be a person who has a good deal of familiarity with the law, and constitutional rulings. I'll grant that you may hold an advantage over me in that regard. That's ok.

I'm making my comments and expressing my viewpoint based on my admittedly elementary understanding of what case law, and constitutional passages which I've become familiar with.

I'm not a lawyer, but I am a citizen patriot. At the end of the day, I side with our Constitution, and the intent of our Founders, who were brilliant and successful men of great education. They were also men of common sense, deeply religious, and of great vision. Above all, they wrote that common sense and their deeply held beliefs into our Founding Document. That is why the US Constitution outshines every other article of founding on the planet, and why America is the most successful nation in world history.

We can argue the minutiae of law all you want, but my view is that if the law does not comport with the original intent of the Founders, or offends The People's native sense of what is American, then that law should be abolished.

It is wrong to grant a person full US citizenship, when the circumstance of their birth was achieved through illegal means, in an overt attempt by their parents to take what is not rightfully theirs.

I don't care what "the law" has to say about it. That "law" is immoral, it violates the spirit of the Constitution, and none of us should support it.
