Because I meet the legal requirements for citizenship by birth, unlike the children born to an invading army?

I have a hard time thinking that a court will decide that lettuce harvesters and chicken pluckers are members of an invading army.

If they have crossed the borders illegally, are they more like an invading army, or people here with the consent of the government? Not that any modern court will care.

But as a matter of law, the WKA case involved parents here legally, domiciled in the USA with the permission of the government. And those were factors in the decision, since English common law did not envision anyone being permitted to stay in 1600s England without the King’s permission. WKA’s parents were also working here with the permission of the US government. They were not tourists.
