The Chinese exception, for the children born of Chinese laborers here on a very limited work permit (not a visa), is not applicable when the parents of the children born here have neither a work permit or a visa to be within the borders of the United States or any of its territories. Therefore, the jurisdiction clause, which WOULD apply for the children of the Chinese laborers, cannot be similarly applied for invaders without documentation, who are not immigrating, so much as they are colonizing. And I am not aware that the US Code or the Constitution has any provisions for parts of what is US territory to be colonized by citizens or subjects of foreign governments.
Not unless they come with armed force to secure that claim, and defeat the US military, and surrender of the territory in dispute.
That has not happened for a long, long time in US history. If ever.
So if Mexico goes to war with the United States, and manages the military conquest of most of the American Southwest, forcing the US military, and the US government, to surrender, one of the terms of peace is the ceding of the disputed territory to the victorious government.
Does NOBODY understand “Game of War”?
Solid analysis. I especially liked the “where in the constitution ,,,colonized by foreign settlers”.
That ONE sentence needs to go viral and make it into a debate. Its unassailable.
