What the 14th Amendment says about birthright citizenship

[@TheMizpah2000]

Read the 14th Amendment. A citizen must be under the jurisdiction of America.

[@bernadettesemple9301]

WITH NO FOREIGN TIES

[@TheMizpah2000]

@bernadettesemple9301 that's correct, means that the only American illegible to become a citizen is must be here legally and under the jurisdiction of the American government. It's not a tourist visa, not diplomat, and not an illegal immigrants.

[@radutheimpaler62]

@@bernadettesemple9301 , @TheMizpah2000 "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means they are not diplomats or ambassadors and therefore are under the jurisdiction of their home country. Like diplomatic immunity type thing.

[@jimmyjohnson8986]

It's amazing how people that interpret the 14th amendment skip over the jurisdiction of America point. Yes it was for the slaves, not illegals crossing the border to get a foot in this country

[@TangibleExistence]

Read the .Gov archives directly below, birth right citizenship for illegal aliens doesn’t exist: “This will not, of course, include persons born in the United States who are foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of embassadors 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.”

[@radutheimpaler62]

Where's your link for this? What you posted does not say anything about illegal aliens. It says foreigners, aliens, who belong to the families of ambassadors or foreign ministers, which is what 'under jurisdiction of the US' means. Not children born of diplomats etc. from other countries.

[@janineheller5698]

If your here illegally and have a child that child should not be considered a U S citizen period. You see allot of them coming over illegally are already pregnant so they can get citizenship for them and think there safe from deportation once they have the baby. That has to be stopped.

[@radutheimpaler62]

Wrong. The child is, under the 14th amendment, not the parents. 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. "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" means they are not diplomats or ambassadors and therefore are under the jurisdiction of their home country. Like diplomatic immunity type thing.

[@RacoonCityNative]

It was to give slaves and the children born from slaves citizenship so they wouldn’t be denied rights ergo you have to blood born to receive citizenship.

[@scentedsoullulu]

THANK YOU!

[@craigwilliams1897]

That Part Illegals we're Nowhere around people just be running their mouth because they know Americans are Stupid so they just tell them anything. It was Never for them

[@vickynoname9860]

What about the pilgrims? They were also illegals.

[@radutheimpaler62]

Sorry, I don't know what "you have to blood born" means.

[@radutheimpaler62]

"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." If the parents are not citizens but the baby is born here, the child then is a citizen. As long as the parents are not diplomats or ambassadors, whatever of another country. Just being a citizen of another country does not make them 'under their jurisdiction'. Has to be like a political employee. If they are diplomat, then they are NOT under US jurisdiction otherwise, unfortunately, they are under US.

[@AnnStewart-pz5rx]

The 14th amendment was put in there because of slavery. It was stated that any child born in United States during that period would be a US citizen. It makes no mention about people coming over here and dropping babies get US citizenship. In fact, one of the parents to be a US citizen for that to happen. They cannot be just here illegally. Both parents look it up.

[@danaoakton1048]

Keep FAMILIES TOGETHER!! Kids must be with parents!! If parents are ILEGAL / kids are too!!! This law was created at the time of SLAVERY!!!

[@BobbySchaffer]

deport illegals , they can't leave their kids in foster care for 15 years . Go back to Mexico, take the 4 kids, not our problem. It's Mexico's responsibility

[@radutheimpaler62]

Yes, families together. But your other argument is weak. So, your saying the laws that are even older should not be abided by as well?

[@godsbeautifulflatearth]

There is no such thing as "Birthright Citizenship" in the Constitution. The only exception is if at least one of the parents are a US Citizen. Also, notice that the 14th Amendment makes no provision for citizenship for Illegals just because they have kids here. 14th Amendment: 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. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Subject to the jurisdiction thereof being the key. If the parents are not citizens, then neither are their children.

[@radutheimpaler62]

No. Born or naturalized in the US. Says nothing about their parents have to be citizens.

[@vickynoname9860]

So are all of you legals? The pilgrims were illegal...all of you come from that time. Maybe your citizenship should be taken away.

[@radutheimpaler62]

@@vickynoname9860 Are you being serious? I find it hard not to laugh. The pilgrims were not illegal because there was law in place back then. Next- Not all of "us" come from that time. My great grandparents came over. While they were old when I knew them, they were not old enough to have been pilgrims. And the point is, "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. " If the parents are not citizens but the baby is born here, the child then is a citizen. (yes-even if they were a pilgrim) As long as the parents are not diplomats or ambassadors, whatever of another country. Just being a citizen of another country does not make you 'under their jurisdiction'. Has to be like a political employee.

[@helenpacio9526]

birth right law goes back during the slavery history. one has to know the common law during that time, why the lawmakers during that time came up with this law.

[@AnnStewart-pz5rx]

I don’t care what happens with this, but it seems to me that if parents are not legal in this country, and by legal, I mean US citizens, then the children of illegal immigrants should not be considered US citizens and they are not talking about people that have come here and got their citizenship and had babies that would make them legally US citizens but if you’re here illegally, that means you’re not respecting our laws so why should we get them citizenship just because I have a baby if I go to another country and have a baby and I’m not a citizen of that country then my baby is American why is that so hard to understand if you come to the United States and have a baby and you’re not a citizen Your baby should not be considered an American. It should be considered the country of its origins.

During the debate over the first clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Howard argued for including the phrase "and subject to the jurisdiction thereof:" ...[E]very 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 person. Howard clarified his statement during the original congressional debate over the amendment describing the clause as having the same content, despite different wording, as the earlier Civil Rights Act of 1866, which reads: “all persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are hereby declared to be citizens of the United States”. He said of the exclusion of Native Americans who maintain their tribal ties: I am not yet prepared to pass a sweeping act of naturalization by which all the Indian savages, wild or tame, belonging to a tribal relation, are to become my fellow-citizens and go to the polls and vote with me.
