The judge who ruled on the 14th amendment case said it best: “No one can become a citizen of a country without its consent”
In other words, you can’t come here illegally, drop a kid over the goal line, and claim winnings.
Think that through (I agree with the sentiment).
Where do you draw the line?
My seven children were born to two US citizens, themselves born to two US citizens each, on US soil.
Do they require consent of the legislature, or the people, to be recognized as US citizens at birth?
My wife is eligible to become a citizen of Ireland through the one-grandparent rule. Does this affect the process by which our children become US citizens?
I understand what you are trying to do. The concept is clear, putting it into amendatory language which doesn't screw something else up is not simple.
What would be the status of a small child taken from another country illegally and held as war broke out — never repatriated at the end of the war and raised mostly by military through out its life time with out knowledge or consent of it’s true identity?
