Pretty sure that every serious constitutional scholar would disagree with you... Just because you think you're right... It doesn't make you right. The Supreme Court will not change birthright citizenship, or interpret it in any way other than the way it was written...

Fourteenth Amendment

Section 1

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

How you could possibly read the above words from the United States constitution and determine that it doesn't mean American's are entitled to birthright citizenship is beyond me, and obviously beyond anybody else's understanding. Your interpretation is incorrect.

I wager that 99 44/100 percent of FReepers agree/defend Original Intent, whether of the U.S. Constitution as adopted or any legislation enacted subsequently.
Although as is now apparent it was too loosely written, if you truly believe that the legislators who enacted the 14th Amendment actually intended that any and every baby dropped by a Canadian 1 ft below the 49th parallel or by a Mexican 1 ft across the RioGrande or ANY other foreigner to be a U.S. citizen, your meds need to be up scheduled by the DEA or you belong in a mental institution.

take your pick
