I prefer letting the parents stay here as resident aliens and raise the child as an American. That has worked well for the last couple of hundred years.
It's factual. The 14th Amendment requires jurisdiction. The U.S. Doesn't have it when illegal aliens' children's citizenship is subject to their parents' country's jurisdiction. Plain and simple.
I really admire people that will break up families just because of some bureaucratic nonsense about where the kids parents were born. The kid is an AMERICAN CITIZEN about to be deported because he picked the wrong parents. That has to be American Justice at its finest.
Pknopp probably lives in some upper middle class utopia. An "ivory tower"
This is so stupid. As I go on to note, I do NOT support what the president has done. I DO NOT support allowing illegals to stay here but the facts are facts. I do not argue the facts on how I want them to be but rather on how they are.
There is a reason why no one has brought this question before the Supreme Court.

Why after 150 years has no one brought this before the Supreme Court? I'll answer.......they know how it will rule.

They have. Wong Kim Ark. Justice Gray wrote the opinion. The parents have to have a permanent domicile in the U.S. in order for their U.S.-born child to be a U.S. citizen. Illegal aliens don't have a permanent domicile in the U.S. as they're not even supposed to be here.

That isn't what was ruled. It was ruled that they did but no where in the ruling does it state that they have to. The Supreme Court is unfortunately very good at putting out very narrow rulings.

It's not about those here illegally.
