RE: The 14th amendment specifically exempts Indians (Not Taxed) from birth citizenship.
PRECISELY. As I said in another thread, it took an ACT OF CONGRESS nearly 60 years after the 14th amendment was passed to SPECIFICALLY state that Indians are American citizens.
Therefore, I conclude that the INTENT of the 14th was NARROWLY FOCUSED — towards SLAVES and their children.
Illegal immigrants were not even on the minds of the drafters of that amendment in the 1860’s.
So, we don;t need another constitutional amendment to deny children of illegals birthright citizenship. All we need is AN ACT OF CONGRESS, similar to what they did in 1924 to the Indians ( but this time DENYING citizenship, not giving it ).
My approach is to simply repeal an existing act, the one which bestowed citizenship on Indians in the first place.
Now that I think about it, we don't even need to replace it. All current Indians in our borders are already American Citizens, so the act no longer serves any purpose.
We can repeal it now, and it won't even affect American Indians, it will only affect Mexican/Central/SouthAmerican and Canadian Indians.
My point here is, What is the court going to say to that? You can't argue it's Unconstitutional because it has an established history. It would be too great a departure from the truth for even the lyingest of courts, I hope.
It would be using the explicit words of the 14th against the Courts, and they can hardly say the "penumbra of equality" they see in the 14th can override the clear and explicit words denying such citizenship.
Two questions:
1) Do you believe Congress has the power to revoke YOUR citizenship? If so, why, if not, why not?
2) What are the chances that any Congress bought and paid for by the Cheap Labor Express will ever enact such a statute?
