Interesting. If it were to pass, it would surely be challenged and could go to the Supreme Court. How they would rule is anybody's guess.

They ruled on this in United States v. Wong Kim Ark, in 1898.

Wrong. Wong Kim Ark was born in San Francisco of Chinese-American residents lawfully residing in San Francisco at the time of his birth. That, my friend, is a glaring distinction that makes your citation what lawyers would call "inapt".

Don't try this at home, you'll only embarass yourself.

The bill proposed by Hunter says in its very language (did you read it?) that the children of lawful residents of the US are citizens.
