Mexico admits that their citizens retain Mexican citizenship. That means anchor babies are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction’ of the US. And that means they are not US citizens.
A sworn affidavit by Mexico’s consul general admits that Mexico’s official policy is to encourage its poor people to migrate here illegally in order to access the US's generous welfare system......declaring that "Mexico is responsible to protect its nationals wherever they may be residing,"
THE MONEY QUOTE A footnote states that "Mexican nationality is granted to children born abroad of a Mexican born parent." IOW, anchor babies born in the US retain their parents’ Mexican nationality.
=====================================================
The Mexican consul's sworn testimony asserts that "My responsibilities in this position include protecting the rights and promoting the interests of my fellow Mexican nationals" and "The main responsibility of consulates is to provide services, assistance, and protection to nationals abroad."
Ergo, Mexico’s assertion of continuing jurisdiction over its "nationals abroad," is inconsistent with any claim to automatic US citizenship merely by reason of birth on US soil.
Interesting. Of course, it should be noted that there could be a claim of dual citizenship. For example, Ted Cruz was born in Canada and because Canada has birthright citizenship, Cruz automatically became a Canadian citizen. Cruz was also a US citizen via jus sanguinis because his mother was an American. Cruz has since renounced his Canadian citizenship.
Good point.
The court that invented a right to same-sex marriage will have no problem asserting illegals right to US citizenship. And as Trump says the Supreme Court has ruled, it’s the land of the land. Time to move on.
