The federal appellate courts, chiefly from the FDR court packing era, have interpreted the 14th to confer auto-citizenship on anchor babies. However, the only SCOTUS decision to touch indirectly upon the matter, post civil war, thought otherwise.
And yes, by the fruit of the poison vine, those who derived their citizenship through extra-constitution means, my be striped of those rights after an unfavorable SCOTUS ruling.
“And yes, by the fruit of the poison vine, those who derived their citizenship through extra-constitution means”
Anchor babies do not receive their citizenship through extra-constitutional means. You imply that because their parents reside here at the time of their birth illegally, their citizenship status is somehow poisoned. Only their illegal is a statutory matter, not a Constitutional matter. Also, the sins of the father are not visited upon their children.
Anchor babies arrive at citizenship by perfectly Constitutional means. They are citizens by right of the soil, regardless of how they came to be born on the soil, except of course if they weren’t under the jurisdiction of U.S. law at the time of birth. Which illegal aliens obviously are.
their illegal = their illegality
