Born on US soil = natural born is the present definition of natural born citizen. And when it comes Presidential eligibility I have no problem with it.
The anchor baby problem is a different issue because it is linked to illegal immigration. For that reason alone I would support a Constitutional amendment to prevent the children of people in the country illegally from becoming citizens. It would reduce illegal immigration and save us billions in tax dollars.
Many “anchor babies” are completely legal. Like those to mothers here in the US on various types of visas.
But to get an answer to one of my questions, do you believe this issue needs to be visted by the SCOTUS to finally determine the criteria on what constitutes a Natural Born Citizen? Since it has never happened to date.
As of right now, there is not any written law difinitively describing what constitutes a NBC. I personally think it needs to be settled.
If I could show you that Barack Obama Sr. was in the United States Illegally, (I can) would that change your mind about Barry's legitimacy?
Barry is the son of an Illegal entrant into the United States.
My Senator, Jerry Moran, thinks that simple, majority vote legislation can fix the anchor-baby problem.
“— subject to the jurisdiction thereof” -—
If an illegal immigrant couple crosses our border, from Mexico, and then they decide to split up, after having a child in the United States -—
What American Court will decide custody of that child?
Is that child truly subject to full “Jurisdiction” of American law?
I think not.
Congress should define those rules, Congress has every right to define those terms, under the law.
