It seems as if Pres. Trump is prepared to take the case to the Supreme Court via the power of an executive order to end the god-awful concept of American anchor babies. He is right and should win this case. Amen.
Trump ‘announces’ to the press. 1:33 video clip from Aug 2019.
As I understand it Justice Brennan’s 1982 footnote in Plyler v. Doe gave all women the right to give birth to an American citizen, and was another nail in the coffin of our constitutional republic.
I know the Founders used language quite precisely (lots of lawyers). That being so, how did the idea of “birthright citizenship” (If parents are citizens, children born to them are citizens.) get so bent out of shape, that the concept of an ‘anchor baby’ could even be considered at all, let alone given pride of place?

Thank God for President Trump. I still pinch myself every time I say or think “President Trump”, really didn’t think he would win, but Thank God he did. God works in mysterious ways 🙂

The key is in comparing Amendments V (1791) and XIV ( 1868). V provides that “no person” (doesn’t hafta be a citizen) shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law. XIV deals with who is a citizen,
. There are 3 requirements: must be (1) a person(2) born or naturalized in US(3) “and subject to the jurisdiction thereof”.
“Jurisdiction” has 2 meanings: one purely territorial; the other , allegiant. Meaning the child is born owing loyalty and allegiance to US. S’why a child born to a diplomat doesn’t get citizenship. S’why, if we are ever unfortunate enough to be invaded, children born to fornicating member of the invading force would not get citizenship. If the drafters of XIV had meant territorial jurisdiction, they’dawritten “within” th jurisdiction, not “subject to”.
When mom enters here illegally, she enters in DEFIANCE of, not allegiance to, the jurisdiction of the US. Her kid is not “subject to” except in the territorial sense. He/she, as a “person” is entitled to due process of lawbefore being deprived of life liberty Ron property— and that’s IT.

Thank you, Hypatia, for this. It seems so clear to me that I can only believe the Ruling Class has saddled us with ‘the law of the anchor baby’ in order to push a progressive agenda. How can a judge who has supposedly studied law and passed the bar not see this exactly as you do?
All this madness makes me want to bury my head in the sand and/ or move to some third world tropical paradise and try to forget the promise of America.

Thinking about another geographic but this time to a fully developed nation. I’ll probably reward (sometime next year) the señoritas in Chile for those many tender mercies visited upon me by their progenitors, in particular for showing me how to dance to Latin rhythms and rhymes.

Yes for the most part, only problem is I can’t seem to keep my head buried in the sand.
Hmmm, maybe that is why God invented ‘distractions?’

I’m with the country of Sweden who does not acknowledge natural born citizenship unless:
1) One parent is a native.
2) Second parent has become a citizen.
Guess what these somewhat draconian rules have produced?
No anchor babies.

Yet on the other hand the Ruing Class Swedes have succeeded in making their country the rape capital of Europe, if not the world. I read that somewhere and am quite sure that I can find a link or two if there are doubters.

The city of Malmo in particular; lots of Muslim immigrants with work visas who are hassling Jews and vandalizing synagogues as well. I remember a member from another site who lived there and barely escaped a bombing of her synagogue during a service. She has since moved to Israel and I wish her well because I am none too pleased about the unpopularity of Bibi.
