If someone is able to break into my house, am I obligated to then treat them as a family member?

American Indians and their children did not become citizens until Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. There would have been no need to pass such legislation if the 14th Amendment extended citizenship to every person born in America, no matter what the circumstances of their birth, and no matter who their parents are.

Even in U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark, the 1898 case most often cited by “birthright” supporters due to its overbroad language, the court only held that a child born of lawful, permanent residents was a U.S. citizen. That is a far cry from saying that a child born of individuals who are here illegally must be considered a U.S. citizen.

Even Thomas Paine wrote in 1791 in The Rights of Man that people who were "half a foreignor" (meaning parents of different nationalities) did not "have full natural or political connection with the country."

My daughter was born in England while I was in the Air Force and has a Certificate of Birth Abroad from the State Department proving she’s an American citizen, but she also has a British Birth Certificate so I guess she could move there and become a subject of the crown (not that she will).

There is one big difference though between my daughter’s situation and anchor babies: I was in England legally! In fact, I was ORDERED there by our government.
