<>Amendment XIV is poorly drafted, but there’s no doubt that there is a legitimate literal reading that allows birthright citizenship.<>
Nonsense.
Scotus ignored “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” clause, as well as the legislative history of the XIV Amendment.
Birthright citizenship is one of many horrible and damaging Scotus decisions. No other country lets foreigners determine if their newborn kids will be citizens.
Scotus also found that illegal alien kids must be educated at local public schools.
Both of these decisions, and I’m confident there are more, work to destroy our republic.
It was passed solely to give (former) slaves citizenship. Even the “No law” portion of the First Amendment has exceptions for defamation and “shouting fire in a crowded theater”
Furthermore, people game the system. They need to first abolish these “birthing resorts” and stop any and all pregnant women from rushing the border.
It needs to stop and I’ll bet even most liberals would agree with this. They don’t want it their neighborhoods either.
