Do you happen to have a list of the other ones? This is the one that gets cited in court when there are challenges.

There are several that have dealt with citizenship status for people born here. Perkins v. Elg is another one. Elk v. Wilkins is another. Minor v. Happersett is often quoted, but that was a voting rights case and not a citizenship case. Then there are other cases from lower courts and state courts.

Voting rights and dual citizenship. And I have no problem whatsoever with Native Americans having the right to vote. But there isn’t another anchor baby SCOTUS ruling that I know of. The interesting thing about Wong Kim Ark is its language, which seems to indicate that Congress could change the anchor baby rule if it wanted to, but in more than 100 years, hasn’t acted.
