I seriously doubt the framers of the 14th intended for it to be misread the way it is today, and to grant citizenship to children of aliens, with no ties to this nation.

I’m already hearing a lot of spin that in addition to slaves, the Congressional debate at the time also concerned Irish and Chinese immigrants. NOW they want “original intent”, huh!

The man who co wrote the 14th amendment was clear that it did not apply to the children of aliens to the United States. His writings were not taken into consideration when the SCOTUS ruled on the case of a Chinese man who’s parents were deported in the late 19th century.
