again, READ the ENTIRE first sentence of the 14th amendment. tourists do not have residency nor are they under the jurisdiction of the US.

Let me rephrase. While I agree with you that temporary visitors were never intended to get 14th amendment citizenship for their children, the legal system has been behaving as if it does for at least half a century.

So far as the legal community is concerned, the 14th amendment granted her citizenship. As I said, I don't agree with that, I agree with you that temporary aliens should not receive citizenship for their children, only permanent residents should.

But again, the courts don't see it that way. They are wrong, but they hold the power, so they are going to claim that not only does this temporary residency on the part of Kamala's mother impart to her US Citizenship, the courts are going to hold that it is exactly the same thing as "natural born citizenship."

So this is where we are at. We have ignorant courts who believe ignorant things, and they won't bother to learn the error of their ways.

The Courts see it that way because they make a ruling based on the laws (USC 8) Congress enacted.
