The Court's decision has been incorrectly applied for 120 years.

[freedomjusticeruleoflaw]

And has slowly destroyed the character of a nation.

Under the jurisdiction thereof

[MagnoliaB]

I would love to see all these anchor babies whose parents are not citizens have their so called citizenship stripped.

The Court's decision has been incorrectly applied for 120 years.

Ahhh...but precedent, precedent. That is the left's call to arms this week.

The United States and Canada are the only civilized countries that still have an “automatic citizenship at birth” policy.Many Western countries had that policy at one time but,one by one,they did away with it.Even Ireland,a country that's always had a special pride in its worldwide distribution of citizens,did away with it a few years ago.

I’m afraid that, as a textualist, I believe a Constitutional amendment is needed to fix this problem.

For two reasons:

1) “Subject to the jurisdiction thereof” (the jurisdiction of the United States) has a perfectly clear English meaning. If you can be arrested by our police, be brought before a judge, deprived of your property and removed to a foreign country against your will, then if you are NOT being subjected to the jurisdiction of the United States, I don’t know what to call what just happened to you.

2) My grandparents (all four of them) were born in the United States to six parents who owed allegiance to the Emperor of Germany and two who owed allegiance to Her Britannic Majesty Victoria Alexandrina. And yet, they did not have to naturalize, they were American citizens at birth

I understand the intent argument. I have read Bingham’s quotes.

I just cannot imagine any American court would agree with the proposition that illegal aliens and their spawn were NOT “subject to the jurisdiction” of the courts, and therefore to the jurisdiction of the United States.

So ... change the Constitution to be more specific and take the interpretation out of the Courts. I bet you will find a lot of people will support you.

[DoughtyOne]

No, it’s time it was stopped from being imagined!

The 14th Amendment does not condone birthright citizenship for illegal alien children.

[familyop]

That’s a great idea! First, we’ll exile the bipartisan, blue state, political/regulator class to places like Haiti, one relatively small group of them at a time.

The article is wrong about Wong. It did not hold that the parent’s status was necessary.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

[Altura Ct.]

Yep end birthright citizenship

[Electric Graffiti]

The courts can’t make anyone a citizen. Children born to foreign nationals, whether here legally or illegally, are citizens in name only. IOW, court created citizens. Congress has sole authority over naturalization.

[Kickass Conservative]

Time to reimagine “Natural Born Citizen”...

[Yaelle]

We need the amendment to be clearer. Case law shows that truly, only babies born here to legal residents have birthright. If you are a tourist or illegal, nope. We need to fix this ASAP.

[Dagnabitt]

We need to stop all third world immigration, legal or illegal.

Hispanic migration, in particular, is destroying our homeland. Courtesy of this voting block, California, Reagan’s home is now a left wing playground. The poison of Hispanic voting has also flipped CO and VA to the anti-American party.
