But U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark still did not address the right of illegals to automatic citizenship. The case was about a legal resident. The USSC has never heard anything solely on the basis of whether an illegal alien is entitled to such a 14th Amendment guarantee. It is now time for Congress to challenge the current held misinterpretation and let a modern Supreme Court decide one way or the other.

Btw I do not believe the Constitution is an evolving document. The framers of the Amendment made very clear that foreigners would not be entitled to automatic citizenship and so all the USSC has to do is follow the law as it was intended.

We simply disagree about the 14th Amendment then - good luck with that.
