Hold on for a second. Who says you get to decided when something is misapplied or not? I don't agree that it's misapplied, and I doubt the Supreme Court would agree either. Sorry, but I'm not conceding citizenship as a birthright is a misapplication at all.
I get to decide for myself.
In the United States, individuals do not have to have a state or "consensus" to define what they prefer or want or understand.
I vote accordingly. Communism, that is the bad influence of so many from Mexico and South and Central America, has so indoctrinated so many people culturally from those regions, that, just as you are alleging in your own counter here, that no individual "gets to" define whatever.
Yes, I "get to define" what and how I reason whatever. To my read, the Fourteenth Amendment HISTORICALLY AND ACADEMICALLY was not created to provide "anchor baby" privilege for citizenship and in fact, suggests that something of that plan was rejectable and to be denied citizenship.
It has only been reinterpreted in contemporary times and it's an affront to the sinceritiy of the Amendment itself. Many American individuals, including me, reason just that way.
It's my decision, my determination, as to my opinion about this and that's how I'll be working and voting accordingly and that is to see that the Fourteenth Amendment is applied sincerely as it was written and that does NOT include the more contemporary misapplication of "anchor baby" privilege of citizenship.
If you feel differntly, as you appear to, then vote accordingly. But in the United States as a republic, we individuals are free to decide these things for ourselves and work toward improving our representational government by individual vote accordingly.
It does not matter to me what you "concede" or do not "concede."
It's a misapplication of the Amendment and it will eventually be corrected, if American voters are represented in this issue. There's a lot of support for righting the misapplication and misappropriation of the Fourteenth Amendment.
How anyone can illegally enter the country for purposes of birthing a child that they then demand the country to pay expenses for (hospitalizations, medical care, later support and education) is the issue that you might want to concern yourself with, as to the lack of ethics involved in everyone who engages in that behavior.
The United States was not founded upon the hopes and aspirations of thieves and usery. We have a representational government and individuals are expected to earn their own way, to be individually motivated and free to motivate.
Breaking the laws inorder to manipulate the Constitution is unethical of the worst sort and it is insulting to the many Americans who have lost their very lives to protect and defend the country. That illegal-sneak process also demeans the very worth of citizenship. A lot of Americans object to it. As do I.
