Oh I know Mark Levin is some God on this and possesses all knowing Omniscience on this and cannot ever be wrong.
There are many who disagree with him.
There is no provision in the Constitution that offers birthright citizenship if the parents are illegals. If the parents were “subject to the jurisdiction thereof,” they would have the right to vote automatically upon illegally crossing the border. The warped interpretation of birthright citizenship began with a footnote by liberal Justice William Brennan in the 1982 Plyler v. Doe case. This changed the interpretation of the 14th Amendment that was established by the 1898 case United States v. Wong Kim Ark.
In Wong Kim Ark, the Court acknowledged that Senator Lyman Trumball—one of Congress’s leaders for passing the Fourteenth Amendment—acknowledged that the Fourteenth Amendment’s Citizenship Clause would apply to children born only to parents who were “not subject to any foreign power”—meaning not citizens of a foreign country. Yet the Court refused to abide by that meaning of Trumball’s words—and similar speeches by other members of Congress—and instead held that because Wong’s parents were here legally and permanently, their son should be deemed a citizen.
In regards to Plyler v. Doe, the court denied, in a 5-4 decision, the citizenship to the children of legal immigrants. Because Justice Brennan slipped in a dissenting footnote, does not make Plyler v. Doe invalid.
It does not take a brain surgeon to understand the validity of Mark Livin’s argument. It only requires the ability to educate yourself.
