The problem with the document is that it's not specific enough, and has allowed liberals to interpret it in their own way for their advantage, and nefarious purposes. The fact that Republicans have never legally challenged, nor taken any action on the interpretation of birthright citizenship, has already set a long-time precedent to allow children born here of illegals, to become citizens.

Progressing America would like a word with you.

Two pings in one day, you’re making me feel special my friend.

It’s alright. We as Americans used to know this well constructed phrase until the progressives indoctrinated us out of it.

If an American standing and living life in 1866 or 1870 knows what “subject to the jurisdiction therof” means but an American in 2026 does not, we have to question the role of progressive indoctrination.

How does indoctrination not enter the party? It must.

How did the 1870 American know it? He was taught it.

Were we taught it? Did our schools adequately teach us “subject to the jurisdiction therof”? They did not.
