Lol, then back to the original problem, employers who make illegal immigrants want to come here. It's not this hard, you just want to hate on people because you think they're the problem. It's all the derp, with some herp.
Nope, anchor babies need to be stopped.
perfect match to slowEveryone within the boundaries of the United States is subject to the jurisdiction of its laws. The only exception to this is the children of diplomats as they are expressly places outside of the jurisdiction of the US.
Michael Anton is either very stupid or very dishonest. Or both!
Do you know what the definition of "invasion" is? They fit it perfectly, they are invading.
I’m kind of excited to see conservatives make the argument that the 14th amendment was intended to exclude illegal immigrants though. It will (once again) show how completely moronic and intellectually bankrupt their views on ‘original meaning’ are when applied to the constitution.
I dont know a ton about all the rules of this, but if you were on vacation pregnant and gave birth way early, does that child have citizenship even though you are just on vacation in our country? If so, that would be kind of silly, but not at all for the reasons im sure Trump has.
I'm actually kinda curious to see the extreme legal contortions in an argument that it was intended to exclude illegal immigrants when there was literally no such thing in the 1860s.
Yes, reason does not matter only presence.
I’m sure Clarence Thomas will oblige if it gets that far.
It would be a novel criminal law argument though - ‘You can’t convict me of that murder, my parents are illegal immigrants from Honduras!’
Well i find that silly. I wouldnt want my child to have citzenship in a country i just happened to be in on vacation. Especially the US right now
By that definition Baron Trump is an anchor baby. Kick his ass out first."Michael Anton, a former national security adviser for Trump, pointed out in July that "there’s a clause in the middle of the amendment that people ignore or they misinterpret – subject to the jurisdiction thereof.”
"What they are saying is, if you are born on U.S. soil subject to the jurisdiction of the United States – meaning you’re the child of citizens or the child of legal immigrants, then you are entitled to citizenship,” Anton told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson in July. “If you are here illegally, if you owe allegiance to a foreign nation, if you’re the citizen of a foreign country, that clause does not apply to you.”"

Hope Trump has the judges in place he needs to stop anchor babies.

One of the primary reasons it was made so wide and inclusive was the fear that citizenship would be stripped from the freed slaves by a future congress. This way there was no wiggle room.
Googled it:
"an instance of invading a country or region with an armed force."
It's the primary definition every single time.

Only a terrified fool would characterise the approach of unarmed people with no hostile or military objective towards the country with the most powerful and well-equipped military force as an invasion. The idea is utterly absurd.
I dunno if Roberts will be cool with that, it's a bit much even for him. I'd suspect they would not hear the case anyway especially if lower courts decide it's bullshit, which it is.

Yes but it was also widely thought that the legal challenges to the ACA were comically misguided bullshit and they almost won. You never know with these guys.
Still, despite the evil behind this argument it would be amusing to watch conservatives argue with a straight face that illegal immigrants who are currently incarcerated by the US government are not ‘subject to the jurisdiction of the US’.
Yup, just like guns being held by a “well trained militia”
Can’t wait for the next Democrat President, who knew gun control would be so simple.
*for the record I’m all for an honest good discussion about birthright citizenship, practically nowhere else in the world does it.
Same with healthcare nowhere else in the world does it like us.
