I’m a first generation American whose foreign national parents were legal immigrants when I was born. Do I get to stay?
RE: Im a first generation American whose foreign national parents were legal immigrants when I was born.
The Wong Kim Ark Supreme Court decision of 1898 already answered that question. Since your parents WERE LEGAL ( emphasis ) residents, you ARE American by birth.
This is a sensible question... At what generation with your offspring does it finally apply? If ever?
Yes, because they are LEGAL immigrants.
Yes, under any reasonable interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The question is ONLY about the children of ILLEGAL immigrants.
