It has NOT been settled. There are only two AND ONLY TWO ways for it to be settled [BOTH of which have never been done].
1. A ruling [one way or the other] from the Supreme Court as to what is constitutional under the EXISTING Constitution. In this case, the citizenship of a child [born in the United States] to parents who are illegal.
2. A Constitutional Amendment ratified by 3/4 of the States stating that children born in the US to illegal immigrants ARE [OR ARE NOT] citizens. This would trump any previous ruling of the Court [if existing] as in #1, above.
The fact that there is a "regulation" or "legislation" that has been passed DOES NOT mean it is settled. Otherwise, why have a Constitution in the first place - if legislation can supercede it? When the DEMs are in power - they would wholesale change all of our laws to their liking. And when the GOP is in power, they would switch it back.
Posters on this thread have tried to point out to you the simple basics of Constitutional Law. You either don't or won't acknowledge that you CLEARLY have NO CLUE as to how our government works.
One, as you have admitted, the case you cited does not state that illegal immigrants are automatically considered to be ‘enemies’.
Therefore, the argument that there exist legal precedents ruling that illegal immigrants ought to be considered enemies and that their children should be stripped of citizenship is false.
There’s been no supreme court ruling to confirm your analysis, which is why you desire legislation to change the laws currently in place.
There is in fact a constitutional amendment which confirms birthright citizenship, so it seems to me that should you wish to change the law, you would need to meet the same standard as the 14 amendment. To alter the 14th to create again a permanent underclass of non-citizens is a poor use of our time and gets away from the real issues.
1, securing the border.
2, making America more attractive for hardworking legal immigrants and less attractive for illegal immigrants.
Fix both those things and you’ve solved the problem.
