What makes anyone think the Supreme Court would for some reason take this issue up? While there are a small number of legal scholars that argue that the children of illegals are not citizens, the vast majority disagree AND those children have been treated as citizens for decades. So some guy is 50 and his mom and dad snuck into the US and gave birth to him here. He's been treated as a citizen his whole life, has paid taxes and assumes he is entitled to social security when he retires. What rational person thinks that the Supreme Court is going to rule that he is here illegally, can't collect the social security he has paid into since he was 16 and has to be deported?

Article 1 section 8 clause 4 is pretty clear. There's no "naturalization" involved if you're a citizen jus soli.

Wong, as anyone who has read it knows, discusses at great length the Anglo-American jurisprudence in this area. It specifically says that ALIENS - which of course includes "illegal" aliens - who give birth to children on U.S. soil thereby give birth to a U.S. citizen. 3. As alluded to above, aliens - all of them - are subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. That's why they can be arrested and charged here with crimes, sue and be sued in U.S. Courts, etc.. Traditional rules exclude formal agents of foreign powers (i.e., diplomats). There is absolutely NO reason to believe that SCOTUS, let alone the current one, is going to radically reverse the concept of birthright citizenship, irrespective of that case. That doesn't mean anchor babies are good, it just means you're not going to win that issue in the courts, on that basis. |

Chinese anchor babies aren't really a huge problem (yet) but anchor babies in general are huge issue. Literally millions of illegals use them to avoid deportation. There are plenty of documented cases of women waiting until they're in labor to cross the river. Most are content to just cross when they're 6-7 months because they know if they're not Mexican they'll just get a Notice To Appear and get released on bond (never to be heard from again till after the birth). And that right there folks is the problem that can actually be solved. There is NO reason whatsoever why the illegal alien parents can't be deported. Their kid may be a U.S. citizen by birth, but that doesn't (or shouldn't) entitle THEM to stay. First off, when writing legislation to deal with that you tack on a section removing the birthright citizenship and deal with the problem all at once. Second start paring back the powers and options of the immigration courts, and develop a fast track for deportation. Nibbling around the edges is stupid. You can't legislate away something that's a constitutional right. That's basic supremacy clause right there. Let's give it a spin and see if really is a right. |

Whether you agree with it or not. There's a nice sampling of it in the Wong case, which apparently is still only for faggots. |

View Quote That is actually a better question (because under Wong, such people would not be domiciled and resident here). But the answer is yes. That baby is considered a U.S. citizen currently. |

The natural born citizen thing is pretty well rooted in law & society, don't you think? Only by fools and socialists. And the 14th Amendment, and every case that's ever addressed it in this country, and a few hundred years of English common law leading up to that. Fools and commies. All of them. |

English law you say??? From what I can find, the Brits realized their error and corrected it in 1983 or thereabout. Please show me where a child born today in the UK to illegal aliens is considered to be a British Citizen before the child has spent 10 years in the UK. |

Please show me where a child born today in the UK to illegal aliens is considered to be a British Citizen before the child has spent 10 years in the UK. You do realize 1983 is quite a while after the 14th amendment and the few hundred years of English common law leading up to the 14th? So the Brits realized their error and corrected it. We're trying (and should do) the same. So how do you propose correcting that error in the US given the impediments of the constitution and current US caselaw? Or is your answer to just ignore those legal impediments and pretend they don't exist? |

Elect Trump (for all his faults), he'll appoint probably 3, maybe 4 SCOTUS' who will read the law as it is. If one parent is not a US citizen, the children are not.Subject to the jurisdiction and all. If this doesn't work, change the damn Constitution.

View Quote Except that's not the law and it never has been. Trump's idea of basically re-running "Operation Wetback" and making all the actual illegals - with or without their anchor babies - leave the country, is fine. |

View Quote No he is right, that is how our legal system works and what it is based on. Actually read cases like DC v. Heller, you have references back to English Common Law, Magna Carta, quotes from Blackstone's Commentaries, etc. Don't be so ignorant of what your laws are based on. Jus Soli is as established as Habeas Corpus. Whether you like it or not, when SCOTUS takes up something like this they are going to consider more than stuff written after 1787 in the US. Want to get rid of Jus Soli, convince congress to change the law, go through the challenges in the courts let SCOTUS rule on it(I'll bet a silver ounce they rule Jus Soli). Then get a Constitutional Amendment approved if you really want to change it when SCOTUS rules against you. OR get rid of the Welfare state and solve the real problem. |

Great Holy Jesus, this is like trying to have a conversation with a dolphin. 1. Operation Wetback was an organized border enforcement effort 60 years ago where we caught and deported people who had entered illegally. Not people who were born here. I'm gonna guess that's probably why there were no cases brought involving birthright citizenship in the wake of it. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

If the children of illegal invaders have birthright citizenships why was no case brought before SCOTUS during Operation Wetback? So the original premise of the title of the thread SCOTUS HAS NOT adjudicated this issue, leaving Article 1 Section 8 in full effect. Great Holy Jesus, this is like trying to have a conversation with a dolphin. 1. Operation Wetback was an organized border enforcement effort 60 years ago where we caught and deported people who had entered illegally. Not people who were born here.

You are beyond reason, but for anyone who actually cares, look up Operation Wetback. |
