Is it me or did this guy just lose his own argument?
The Supreme Court has already ruled that children born to immigrants who are legal permanent residents have citizenship.
I didn’t think that was ever an issue, since the parents are in the US legally. It is the kids that are born to parents in the country illegally that are the issue. For example, all the pregnant, or soon to be pregnant, women in the zombie caravan from Honduras, who can’t wait to pop out a kid in an American hospital. The case the Left points to is the late 1800s and if I’m not mistaken, the parents were in the country legally.
“I didn’t think that was ever an issue, since the parents are in the US legally.”
It is an issue because the 14th was clear. The author of the citizenship clause of the 14th Amendment was crystal clear. It didn’t include foreigners or aliens. Whether here legally or illegally.
The court, through wong kim ark, made children born to foreign nationals, who were legally here, U.S. citizens at birth. So those children are court created citizens. CINOS. Citizens in name only, since only congress can naturalize citizens.
You are totally correct. A person born here of “legal residency” (key words) are definitely citizens of this country, NBC may be a different matter, who the hell knows for sure on that issue?
Under no circumstance, however, should the child of an illegal immigrant be granted citizenship. PERIOD!
