You are a disruptor.
Here is the statement in the holding of Wong Kim Ark that has you so excited:
“The foregoing considerations and authorities irresistibly lead us to these conclusions: The fourteenth amendment affirms the ancient and fundamental rule of citizenship by birth within the territory, in the allegiance and under the protection of the country, including all children here born of resident aliens…Every citizen or subject of another country, while domiciled here, is within the allegiance and the protection, and consequently subject to the jurisdiction, of the United States. His allegiance to the United States is direct and immediate…and his child, as said by Mr. Binney in his essay before quoted, ‘If born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural-born child of a citizen…’”
And as usual, you use the same argument OBOTS use to try and justify BHO2 - that ‘citizen’ equals ‘Natural born Citizen’. How lame! It doesn’t work because that is not what Justice Gray said in the holding.
Justice Gray compares and contrasts the two children:
- he mentions the US born child of resident alien(s)
- he compares that child to the “natural-born” child of a citizen
He clearly states that only one is natural-born: the child of the citizen.
He says that both are citizens. But only the child of the citizen is natural born – for this is what he is comparing the other one to. So the holding indicates Wong Kim Ark was as much a citizen as any other citizen despite not being a Natural born Citizen.
The Wong Kim Ark Court does NOT say that the child of the alien is a Natural born Citizen.
Try getting it right next time, eh!
Those who keep posting false Constitutional claims, dividing conservatives and making us look like a bunch of rubes, are the disruptors.
