Mr. Bingham says “of parents owing allegiance to no other sovereignty”. He didn’t say “subject to the jurisdiction of” another sovereignty. If it were up to the other sovereignty, all Canada would have to do is say the Ted Cruz is still a citizen of Canada and he would be done.
In the Amendment in question itself, the language used was “subject to the jurisdiction thereof.” Since he was not a subject or citizen of our country, he had to be subject to the jurisdiction of another country that isn’t ours.
If it is read otherwise, then anyone can come here, and as long as they claim allegiance personally, with no input from We the People at all, they are in like Flynn.
That puts them in control, instead of the people of this country.
That is not tenable.
And the fact that we allowed them here as guests has nothing to do with it. Our imprimatur for citizenship has not been given.
Can the burglar or the house guest claim adoption into your family based solely on the fact of their presence in your house?
