Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection and Other Rights 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.

[@jerrywhidby.]

​@@biscotti4017 I think you should read what Senator Jacob Howard had to say when they drew up the 14th. He's the Senator that introduced the 14th. "This amendment which I have offered is simply declaratory of what I regard as the law of the land already, that every person born within the limits of the United States, and subject to their jurisdiction, is by virtue of natural law and national law a citizen of the United States. This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers accredited to the Government of the United States, but will include every other class of persons. It settles the great question of citizenship and removes all doubt as to what persons are or are not citizens of the United States. This has long been a great desideratum in the jurisprudence and legislation of this country." This quote comes from the Congressional Globe, 39th Congress, 1st Session, May 30, 1866

[@jerrywhidby.]

@biscotti4017 I have read about that case. His parents were here legally. Big difference, but even still they were foreigners. He should not have been allowed to become a citizen by birth. Senator Howard was very clear about this. I hope that their decision is overturned. This is akin to the magic Cervix. Where someone magically becomes human after being born in some people's opinions. One of your parents need to be a citizen in order for you to be a citizen by birth.

[@garrett892]

The executive order basically said that if the mother or father weren't legally in the country then their child born here wasn't automatically a citizen. Breaking the law to have a kid here does not automatically make everything ok.

[@SandBox-l4q]

When legal avenues for entry exist, choosing illegal entry suggests deliberate defiance of the formal legal framework, which implicitly includes a recognition of and respect for the nation's sovereignty. This act of defiance is incompatible with any implied "pledge of allegiance" to the United States. By defying the laws governing entry, the parent demonstrates an unwillingness to adhere to the basic premise of legal allegiance. Extending automatic citizenship to their child, then, appears at odds with the 14th Amendment's original intent, which ties jurisdiction to a measure of consent and allegiance.

The ruling is obviously wrong because just as an example, if two American citizens have a child in Spain, that child is an American citizen because the two American citizens being under the jurisprudence of United States as mentioned in the amendment -thus transfers American citizenship to the child. To illegal aliens in the United States cannot transfer citizenship to the child because they are not under US jurisprudence. But liberals love to act stupid when they read the constitution and say that the 14th amendment guarantees same-sex marriage where it doesn’t say anything about that and also birthright citizenship -where the constitution has a qualifier along with it.

@ not jurisdiction, jurisprudence which roughly translates to being in a state that is entangled with the state legally. But let’s look at the liberal translation as you would put it. If the 14th amendment says that any person born in United States is a citizen without any qualifier then that means only people born in the United States are US citizens so anybody born to US parents outside of United States aren’t US citizens .

@@Mr.Slade62 I agree the constitution requirement is parents are juristiction of the US . Which is why I stated they came here of thier own acord . Meaning they illeagly entered and not leagle residents. But the irony of the left crying child seperation. What is to happen to these babies when parents shipped back to thier home countries ? Do we keep the babies ? No they go with the parents. This enforces the idea of how ludacris it is to give a baby citizenship when the parents cant meet requirements to stay. The constitution was set for slaves that were brought here against thier will that then became juristiction of the US. And that qualifies thier children born to get automatic citizenship. Even the case president they referenced to the parents were leagly here in our country with a residence . And for that reason thier son who was born here was indeed a US citizen. They are accusing Trump of amending the constitution when in fact He is just holding it up as the letter of law . When they illeagly enter our country they are not resodentsvthere fore if they have babies the babies are of thier parents home country.

[@miavos3610]

Pregnant mothers go to America to give birth there for one reason only, and that is to automatically give their children American citizenship. How is that not totally audacious.

[@thewhynaut5070]

It's a little more complicated than stealing a car. Add a house, free money, access to American rights (which get abused), social protections (that actual citizens don't get) and an attitude that intends to shove American culture aside, instead of meshing with it. It's not kind, no, but that's not the point. To reduce what's happening to 'stealing a car' ignores all the burden and assimilation Americans go through for this to happen. 12 Eggs are 18 dollars in places. We can't afford houses, barely apartments. I work with people who refuse to learn English and make fun of me when I try to learn theirs. The balance is way off, and america has decided through the vote that enough is enough.

That law doesn't take into account the circumstances of today, which is a loophole abuse. The spirit of the law was to protect Americans who are here naturally and those who come legally.

Back when this 14 Amendment was made on June 8, 1866 there were slaves born in Africa brought to America. Note: The 14th Amendment, ratified in 1868, extended citizenship to freed slaves and their children. Today there is mass illegal immigration very different from the 1800's were there was not many immigration laws at all. If you have a baby in France while being in France that does not make your baby a French citizen. You have to have one parent a national citizen before the baby can be a citizen. HELLO? If your traveling to Russia and have a baby that does not make that baby a Russian Citizen unless one of the parents is a Russian citizen. HELLO? ANYBODY OUT THERE LISTENING? These illegal immigrants that have babies born in America ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS NEITHER THE MOTHER OR THE FATHER.....THUS THEY ARE NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BORN HERE.... HELLO? ANYBODY OUT THERE LISTENING?

"In the United States, birthright citizenship is guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. Specifically, it states that "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."- 14th amendment of the United States Constitution.

[@Spaceshipers]

[@timc9893]

​​@@BenWW27Did you miss the part that says "and are subject to the jurisdiction thereof"? The children of foreign nationals who haven't become citizens themselves are not covered under the Fourteenth Amendment, as they're still subject to the jurisdiction of their home country. To prove this theory, when foreign diplomats come to United States and subsequently have children, their children do not receive American citizenship. Ask yourself why?

[@raquelpettine1295]

The 14th amendment, I believe is misinterpreted, and is outdated and lacks clarity, therefore inviting misuse. The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution, ratified in 1868, was a crucial part of the Reconstruction Amendments following the Civil War. It addresses several fundamental aspects of citizenship and citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the decision of 1857, which held that African Americans could not be citizens.

The solution should be that nobody should get aid or money unless the parents are citizens or legal.

not eliminating it, it needs clarification. What judge is this? People just can’t come in the country illegally, give birth, and then give their family citizenship. That was not the intent of the 14th amendment
