And your credentials are ... ???

The power of ignorance stymies me. You haven't even read Mark's books have you?

Liberty & Tyranny, pg 154: “But does the 14th Amendment grant automatic citizenship to the children of illegal aliens? The relevant part of the amendment reads that “all person, born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizen of the United States.” This language requires more than birth within the United States. The amendment’s purpose was to grant citizenship to the emancipated slaves, who were born in the United States and owed sole allegiance to it. Native Americans who were subject to tribal jurisdiction were excluded from citizenship. There is no legislative history supporting the absurd proposition that the 14th Amendment was intended to empower illegal aliens to confer American citizenship on their own babies as a result of their birth in the United States.”

The problem Mark has here is, is that Mark interjects the word “illegal” when the history Mark cites merely uses the word “alien” without reference to the legality of the parents immigration status. Thus Mark renders his work biased & based on political leanings rather than actual law. Get the picture?

You refuse to answer this question? Very interesting. I can only ASSUME you have no credentials.

And the book Liberty & Tyranny, I read about 5 books since that one.
I'll have to listen to my cd version again while I drive around.
That's the problem with age, you start to forget things, and diabetes doesn't help.
