Come on, judge—parents can’t just dump their kids in the US—they gotta go with the parents.
You got it. I had to scroll down a bit to see if anyone knew of the phrase “subject to the jurisdiction thereof” and you’re the first one.
Judge Napolitano should know better.
“Every Person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons.” --Senator Jacob Howard, co-author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment, 1866.
Hosepipe’s giving out hummers. Everyone line up.
Exactely.. except for the perpetually gullible..
the PolyAnna’s looking for something to make them “GLAD”..
Good Show actually.. beats the hell out of another boring FAUX contest of the UNIPARTY...
It’s still the UNIparty’s Show.. but not so damned boring..
TRUMP is DAMNING the UNIPARTY... like a halfback feigning to the right then going left to make a touchdown..
I would laugh... if it wasn’t Sooo OBAMA “damned” serious..
Much of what any presidential candidate proposes (tax policy, etc.) has to go through Congress.
Oh, and Teddy Kennedy’s 1965 immigration law is an abomination that should be repealed anyway.
If you catch a burglar in your house, he has the right to eat from your fridge and drink your beer.
That’s the jus soli interpretation of the wise latina, I’m sure.
Sorry, your honor. If the constitution was amended to deny birthright citiszenship to any children born of non-citizen parents in the country later than, say, January 1, 2000, then that would be that. Getting such an amendment through Congress and ratified by 3/4 of the states would be a tall order, of course.
A very workable solution!
He is an open borders anti-American elitist.
He may say he loves the United States Constitution but in reality it's just an intellectual exercise for him.
He would never kill other humans to defend Liberty.
I think Judge Nap might have misinterpreted what Trump said. Trump said we would not split families, meaning we would deport illegal parents and, of course, they could take their anchor babies with them. I don’t think Trump said we would deport anchor babies separate from parents.
So, if anchor babies have a way to stay in the US they could, but the parents wouldn’t be allowed to stay simply because they’d had an anchor baby.
Then Nap talked about the court hearings each illegal would be entitled to. Hire more immigration judges and speed the process.
Nap seemed very eager shot down Trump’s plan.
Judge (ok with homosexual marriage) Napolitano is in no real world position to lecture on constitution. He is off the bench and a talking head nyc insider.
YOU CAN send the us born MINOR citizen with the deported parents. period. Custody follows the parents not the citizenship of convenience.
custody follows the parents. period.
When the parents are deported the child goes with them. he/she may return at 18.
The Obama precedent is that the Constitution is irrelevant so we should apply that to this issue.
Immigration judges are glorified magistrates. They can be restricted and have discretion removed from their purview.
Works for me.
Needs a barf alert
No, but you can use force to evict him from your home and property.
Thats how silly the 14th amendment absolutist argument is.
I' m not clear what you mean by that??
Nappy is reading only what he wants to. He’s wrong.
