Here is the wording of Amendment 14, Section 1:
“All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” Liberals ignore the jurisdiction part.
If an English women gives birth in New York her child is a British citizen, not an American at all because the child is not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States. It’s not a citizen of America even though it was born here.
Same for an American child born in Great Britain. American. Not born in America but American because the parent or parents are American.
In 1866, when the amendment was framed, Indians living under tribal rule were not U.S. citizens even though they were obviously born within the borders of the United States. See also : THE SOURCE AND SCOPE OF THE FEDERAL POWER TO REGULATE IMMIGRATION AND NATURALIZATION. HERE.
It might be asked whether every country on earth is morally open to invasion by immigration or invasion itself by an armed force. every other. The answer is: No. America has many, many clauses in the Constitution itself that can be used to send back or away immigrants. Immigration deportation is not an exclusive power granted only by the 14th Amendment. See the foregoing treatise on immigration regulation. Oh. President Trump has the power to deport immigrants, not just illegal ones.
Our Constitution is a gift to us from the generations that went before, and particularly the millions who died in the Civil War; the Fourteenth Amendment is the centerpiece of that Constitution. If we let America’s Left Wing Liberals destroy it, then history will regard us and them with equal contempt. Of course that opens another question. Can president Trump deport Liberals because as a class they disrespect America? Hmmmm….
