The evident intention, and the necessary effect, of the submission of this case to the decision of the court upon the facts agreed by the parties were to present for determination the single question stated at the beginning of this opinion, namely, whether a child born in the United States, of parent of Chinese descent, who, at the time of his birth, are subjects of the Emperor of China, but have a permanent domicil and residence in the United States, and are there carrying on business, and are not employed in any diplomatic or official capacity under the Emperor of China, becomes at the time of his birth a citizen of the United States. For the reasons above stated, this court is of opinion that the question must be answered in the affirmative.
Illegal aliens are not under the protection of the US they are fugitives from the US. Students are not permanently domiciled in the US they are allowed entry as non-immigrats and given a specific time to depart. Obamas father was a temporary student and did depart the US before he got his butt deported, and he never would have been allowed entry if it was known he supported polygamy.
I suspect a modern court considering the immese illegal alien and anchor baby problem we have and its negative effects on the US and the position of we the people that birhtright citizenship for illegals is wrond that they would decide against it as long as the two new commies on the bench recused themselve or had their appoointments nullified. The republicans are a$$e$ for letting them get confirmed and letting Obama go unchallenged for his eligibility.
I don't disagree with you on the facts of the case as presented and that the other parts were dicta. I just don't believe any justices will be recusing themselves or having their appointments nullified. Hence, we can continue debating the correct interpretation, amend the constitution, or have the Immigration and Nationality Act amended to end the anchor baby incentive. Personally, I think the last one is the most likely to bring change if the Senate and White House change hands in November.
