anchor babies are not citizens.
those trying to say they are cite the 14th amendment.
of course, that doesn’t mean they’ve read it or the words of the author.
in the end, the amendment was not meant to allow for birthright tourism giving any foreigner free US citizenship if they squat their spawn within our borders.
the amendment states clearly that the citizenship of the child comes from the parents and the country that holds jurisdiction over them (ie: can draft them or call them for jury duty). illegals entered the US illegally and, just like a tourist on vacation, the child’s citizenship is tied to their home country.
all these anchor babies, and their families, must be deported.
True. Children born in the US to foreign diplomats to the UN are not citizens.
Hard to believe we can’t settle this in SCOTUS. Seems clear and common sense.
In Slaughter-House Cases (1872) and Elk v. Wilkins (1884), the Supreme Court affirmed the framers’ originally intended meaning of “jurisdiction”. In both
cases, a child born on U.S. soil, of a foreign-citizen father, is not subject to U.S. jurisdiction at birth. Such a child is subject to the jurisdiction of the
foreign government to which the child’s father owes allegiance. Consequently, such a child is not a 14th Amendment citizen at birth
