The case involved a Chinese son of a couple who were barred from citizenship because of racism, despite having otherwise met the conditions of citizenship.

The 14th Amendment was not meant to be an easy path to citizenship.

Read the facts and holding of that 1898 SCOTUS decision re WKA. The also read what Mark Levin I quoted that he said on his Saturday show, and emphasized in my first comment above, " ... Of course not; we don’t confer citizenship on the children of tourists and diplomats and students. ... "

The Wong Kim Ark 1898 SCOTUS case did NOT apply to people who birthed children in the USA who were here in the USA as tourists, diplomats, students, or illegal alieninvaders!

Read the case holding and decision before you cite U.S. Supreme Court cases that do not apply. That is exactly what the far-left progressive movement and the enabling media have been doing for decades. And look what that finally got us -- Obama and Harris.

“All from other lands, who, by the terms of your laws and in compliance with their provisions become naturalized, are adopted citizens of the United States; all other persons born within the Republic, of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty, are natural born citizens. Gentlemen can find no exception to this statement touching natural born citizen except what is said in the Constitution in relation to [Native American] Indians.” [underline emphasis added] Source: Congressman John Bingham (R) OH the “Father of the 14th Amendment”, 1862, Congressional Globe – http://www.usnaturalborncitizen.com/bingham.html
