Well, dicta isn't supposed to mean anything, but as Coulter points out, Brennan's dicta in Plyler v. Doe apparently had a lot of weight.

Say what you want about Coulter but in the process, refute it.

As she says...

The Brennan footnote was not part of the decision. It does not have the force of law. Yet, today, we act as if Brennan’s absurd dicta is the law of the land for no reason other than: a) sheer ignorance and b) a fear of being called “racist.”

No U.S. Congress or Supreme Court ever debated and then approved the idea that children born to mothers illegally present in the country should automatically become citizens. Consequently, any president or Congress could simply state that children born to illegal aliens are not citizens. If only we had a president or Congress that would do so.
