I wish I could believe that the SCOTUS would do the right thing, but even before BO packs the court, there are cases like Plyler v. Doe 1981:

The Court reasoned that illegal aliens and their children, though not citizens of the United States or Texas, are people "in any ordinary sense of the term" and, therefore, are afforded Fourteenth Amendment protections. Since the state law severely disadvantaged the children of illegal aliens, by denying them the right to an education, and because Texas could not prove that the regulation was needed to serve a "compelling state interest," the Court struck down the law.

That temptation is strong. We have a better court now, than then. I think it’s time to boost public awareness.

Sheesh... The 14th doesn't address whether someone is a "person". It addresses what determines if a "person" is a "citizen" of the USA.

What a terrible dodge that is to reach a predetermined outcome.
