The past few days,I’ve gone over the 14th, the changes and how we got to the 14th.
But in the 60’s this changed. What I haven’t found the answer to is “how”?
I suspect the “why” is the democrats discovered the ability to control the dependent. LBJ made this clear.
By someone who perverted the original meaning of "jurisdiction" from "owing, or having sworn, allegiance solely to the United of States" to "subject to the laws..."
An interesting chain of cases in 1873 and 1884, to an 1898 case (Wong Kim Ark) which by judicial fiat overturned the 1884 case (as I read the various commentaries). This fiat reasoning was not supported in the ratification debates. So much for stare decisis.
I found a good (and fairly in-depth) analysis from the Center for Immigration Studies.
Ted Kennedy is how. what a disaster that man was for America.
