And, in light of our Declaration, are citizens created or born?
The declaration doesn't say one way or the other. It says that our Creator endowed us with certain rights.
The 14th says that you can't be afforded protection until you are a citizen. Actually it was Justice Taney who said that, in contradiction to every sensible common law edict prior to his racist nonsense, and it was the Congress that passed along his "wisdom."
That's why you find alot of folks under the delusion that one's human rights are dependent upon geography.
At any rate, nobody has a right to be born. It's a crapshoot. Life isn't fair and any attempt to make it fair results in widespread suffering.
