Im not arguing with you about whether it is right or wrong to have the law say what it says. I’m just telling you what it says...
The US Constitution also does NOT give the states the power to decide nationalization laws.
Article 1, section 8 of the Federal Constitution gives naturalization power to the United States Congress. Not the States! So Arizona WILL lose in the Supreme Court on this if they try to change birthright citizenship.
The reason the founders put that in there is because they didnt want every state to have different citizenship rules. It would create a mess and too confusing (ie: a person is a citizen in one state but not another would make no sense). So they gave this power to the federal level.
Arizona has no case here.
Arizona certainly has a case here. Their case is that within their borders, THEY WILL FOLLOW THE CONSTITUTION, not some liberal courts bastardization of it.
