Uh, except in the case of this fellow, because of the diplomatic thing.
It was to separate status as a member of our polity from non-members thereof.
Chattel slavery denied citizenship to individuals having no cognizable connection to any other country than the U.S., as is made obvious by looking up through their particular family trees, if in fact that information was recorded and thereby available for review, certainly not always the case.
And that’s the story of the 14th Amendment, Charlie Brown! Embracing those people who are naturally ours, but whose parents were unnaturally, if arguably legitimately, excluded from our polity. It was for healing. It was never intended to form a basis for handing U.S. citizenship out like candy on Halloween. In fact, had the 14th Amendment been reasonably time-limited, it would have performed its intended function relatively flawlessly, with none of the downstream lunacy, chaos and societal damage we see today.
Name the statute that addresses the citizenship status of individuals born in the United States to parents who are U.S. citizens.
No, Harris' parents were foreign students who met in a U.S. territory. He later applied and matriculated as a U.S. citizen. Harris and her mother went to Canada instead.
The legal citizenship denial applied against Muslims is because they belong to an organization that advocates the overthrow of U.S., that of Islam.
(a) Person born to foreign diplomat —
(1) Status of person. A person born in the United States to a foreign diplomatic officer accredited to the United States, as a matter of international law, is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. That person is not a United States citizen under the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Such a person may be considered a lawful permanent resident at birth.
This is also codified in rules permitting children born of diplomats may receive permanent residency by virtue of birth, unless otherwise given up.
US vs Wong Kim Ak the Supreme Court rules that an individual born in the US to foreign, but non-diplomatic, parents would, in fact, be a US citizen by birth.
You, I'm sure you believe, have more legal authority than the US Supreme Court.
Stop being a dumbass. The 14th Amendment, which permits citizenship to individuals born in the US whose parents are not diplomats.
Illegal aliens aren't subject to the jurisdiction either; if their home country wanted to draft them into military service, they could.
I ask once again.
Please name or cite the U.S. statute (i.e., the statutory law, not a mere rule in the CFR, and not a Constitutional Law holding by an Article III judge) that addresses the citizenship status of individuals born in the United States to parents who are U.S. citizens.
We’ve already said our respective pieces on the case of unfortunate children born here of accredited diplomats.
+1!
You’re being deliberately obtuse.
But This Guy will play your silly game.
Can you cite anything prior to the 14th Amendment?
That’s many score years to cover!
The 14th Amendment covers children born to US parents.
... unless they belong to a group that advocates the overthrow of the U.S.A. Islamic Muslims are a contemporary example.
Why on earth would we need to cite superseded law?
Ain't that the truth.
Well, there's an interesting idea (if you are an idiot, that is).
So, you state that Islamic Muslims are not "subject to the jurisdiction of the United States". They'll be thrilled to hear that. They can now cite you as an authority.
“The Fourteenth Amendment (Amendment XIV) to the United States Constitution was adopted on July 9, 1868, as one of the Reconstruction Amendments.”
And before July 9, 1868...what is your citation?
What U.S. statutory law prior to July 9, 1968 empowered individuals born in the U.S. to two U.S. citizen parents to assert or claim U.S. citizenship?
John Tyler was born to two U.S. citizens in Virginia during George Washington’s first term. He went on to become president himself. One of his grandsons, Harrison Ruffin Tyler, is still alive today. If Harrison were to research U.S. statutory law to try to find the legal basis for his grandfather’s claim of U.S. citizenship, which rendered him eligible to run for and assume the office of POTUS, what would he find?
Unless the nitwit I was arguing with was out of ideas, desperate, and grasping at straws.
