Ann Coulter’s article on the 14th Amendment yesterday was an eye opener.In 1982, Justice Brennan, the old Leftist Supreme Court Justice, put the idea of illegal aliens’ children being given citizenship into A FOOTNOTE in one of his options. For 100 years, no illegal aliens had birthright citizenship, until he came up with this idea. The framers of the amendment specifically stated it would not apply to foreigners, not even the children of diplomats born while in the USA.
So again, the American people have been lied to concerning this history, and this blatant fraud has cost the states hundreds of billions of tax dollars on anchor babies.
Justice Brennan's dictum in Plyler v. Doe is also discussed in the section of this article entitled, "The Supreme Court Weighs In."
Note that Plyler v. Doe held that the denying of public-school admission to illegal-alien children would violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. That particular case did not address birthright citizenship.
