The Supreme Court of the United States is not compelling authority for a legal definition, eh?
Well, then, I'm afraid we're lost, since apparently nothing short of a direct message from God will be convincing to you.
As far as residence goes, legal residence is wherever you live. See my post 87. If I live in Virginia, I am a resident of Virginia. If I move to South Carolina, I'm a resident there. If my job sends me to Georgia for six months to work on a project, I'm a resident of Georgia for the six months that I'm there.
I'm afraid I really don't understand why this is so hard for you. You have a Supreme Court case saying, albeit in dicta, that status as an illegal alien does not matter for 14th amendment citizenship purposes. What more do you want?
You're mixing apples and oranges again.
The word we need the Supreme Court's definition of is residence, not dwelling. They are not synonymous.
What you do, or my kids do, or any citizen of the United States does is one thing, what an illegal alien does is another.
Again, it's apples and oranges.
