RESIDE is a legal term and not just describing where you might have laid down your sleeping bag last night.

It is talking about RESIDENCE in a state.

Oh so true, dear brother in Christ! Illegal immigrant mothers who come to the United States to have their children (so as to make them instant "citizens" of the United States) are not residents of the U.S. or of any State.

Plus they owe no allegiance to the United States. Certainly, their children do not.

Much more to say on this issue. Maybe I'll get to it this afternoon.

Reside means to dwell permanently or continuously. It expresses an idea that a person keeps or returns to a particular dwelling place as his fixed, settled, or legal abode. The plain meaning of reside implies a continuous arrangement..... [Petrowsky v. Krause, 223 Wis. 2d 32, 36 (Wis. Ct. App. 1998)]....... It also refers to occupying a place which is one’s legal domicile.

Reside refers to staying somewhere permanently or continuously. It also refers to occupying a place which is one’s legal domicile.

For example, a Wisconsin Case law, Petrowsky v. Krause, 223 Wis. 2d 32, 36 (Wis. Ct. App. 1998), defines “reside” as follows:

“***The plain meaning of reside implies a continuous arrangement. The dictionary definition of reside is “to dwell permanently or continuously . . . expressing the idea that a person keeps or returns to a particular dwelling place as his fixed, settled, or legal abode.”..... Webster’s Third New International Dictionary 1931 (3d ed. 1993) (emphasis added)....... While we acknowledge that the term “reside” is also a legal term of art, here, the legal and general meanings are the same.

Black’s Law Dictionary defines the term by using phrases such as “settled,” “permanently,” and “continuously.” Black’s Law Dictionary 1308 (6-ed. 1990).

Plus they owe no allegiance to the United States

its worse than that..

Allegiance is a voluntary status, a decision to renounce all allegiance, ties, with the previous country and to give all loyalty to the new country, the US alone and to not look back to the past relationship..

To become an American citizen you have to first renounce the country you came from, you were born in..Illegal aliens don’t do that, are not interested in doing so, refuse to consider such a move, etc..

by coming into the country illegally the illegal alien has broadcast his or her intention to ignore, flaunt, thumb their nose at our sovereign immigration laws..America is not important to them..these no love, respect for the laws, intention to honor or pledge allegiance to the flag or anything else..

Immigration is like God’s idea of marriage...a woman leaves her parents and cleaves to her husband alone..the immigrant leaves the country (parents) of his birth and cleaves to the US alone..

also its like the occasion when I was confirmed into the Anglican Church at 14..part of the ceremony was the words “I renounce the devil and all of his works I turn my back on the devil (as a citizen of the world/Earth) cut all ties, relationship, allegiance and cleaved, gave all loyalty, allegiance, etc to Jesus, to God (as a citizen of Heaven just residing on the Earth)

I was required to swear and sign a document to renounce my citizenship in New Zealand about a month before the ceremony to become an American citizen..that meant I could no longer use my New Zealand passport, it was null and void, I could no longer vote in new Zealand, I could no longer expect New Zealand to regard me as their responsibility, I now needed a passport to visit New Zealand as I was a foreigner, an alien to that country..

some of these people need to ask an immigrant to explain the facts to them..Not a new citizen in the last 10 years but one who has been here a while..

plus an American citizen or a registered alien/immigrant is subject to the draft, when we had one and in the future, an illegal alien is not..

none of these authors, reporters, radio/TV hosts are interviewing immigrants, but that’s typical when the subject is immigration or pseudo immigration..the experts aren’t asked to comment...just the pundits who don’t know what they are talking about..
