So they have difficulty in China because their children weren’t born in China??? Very interesting.
Son the point of this is what? We are supposed to feel sorry for those mothers and kids, who in attempting to have the best of both worlds, find there are problems with birth tourism???
It is abundantly clear, from both the historic record and the legal definition of the term "subject" contemporary with the date at which the 14th Amendment was drafted, that children of aliens are not "subject to the jurisdiction" of the United States. They are instead WITHIN the jurisdiction of the US. They are not citizens of the US.
That the 14th Amendment circumscribes who CAN be a citizen, and the fact that the Constitution is a limiting document that disallows anything it does not enumerate, means that Congress MAY NOT confer automatic citizenship on anchor babies. They must be naturalized as adults.
The burden of proof, as has has been placed upon people who oppose existing policy, in fact belongs placed upon those who advocate for it.
I don't know if the author intended it, but the title is a bit amusing. There is no such term as "LOADstone," but that would be about right. The correct term would be "lodestone" which would make them attractive, as the material by that name is magnetic. More broadly, a "lode" is a concentration of any mineable mineral resources which would make them an asset and a resource.
The author needs a swift dose of grammar school.
Loadstone” This headline writer had heard the word “lodestone” and hasn’t seen it in print.He does not have any idea what it means. He thinks he knows because he knows that word “load” means something. “Loadstone” (lodestone) means a big rock that is a heavy load to carry, right? The writer should limit himself to words of no more than one syllable or 4 letters.
A lodestone is a natural magnet, not a burden.........
How about this def ?
Anchorites= Babies (baby pl) born in the US of foreign citizens who are foreign subjects or of emmigrants entering here illegally. When born in the US of both parents who are not US citizens do not become citizens of the US period. Hence should not be entitled to the benefits and protection of being one.
