The problem here is asylum. We need to drop this WW2 guilt trip and stop letting ourselves be taken advantage of. No asylum claims from people already in the US will be heard... period. Combine that with reform to asylum laws, a streamlined review process, and true border control, and we have a solution. |
I could get on board with this. I would also like our nation to consider ending birthright citizenship when the person giving birth is someone here illegally. |

Please see the post here on the 14th amendment. It is very possible to change the interpretation of that clause. |
Finally someone willing to speak to it. This will curb illegals immigration not only from south, but all Europeans, Asians, Middleasterners flying to Mexico to cross the border illegally.
And no, yo uso not need a new law, you do not need a new amendment. All you need is the Supreme Court to interpret the “jurisdiction ther of” part to mean birthright citizenship is granted to legal US residents, green card holders, legal students. If they are from another country waiting for asylum hearings or crossed illegally, they are still under the jurisdiction of their home country. |
This is the reasoning from another poster.
All yo unwed is the Supreme Court to interpret the line “under the jurisdiction there of” in the 14th amendment. If they end birthright citizenship by illegals, that will greatly reduce the draw into this country. Read below: So for over 130 years the Supreme scours ruled in favor of Wong Ark. This ruling affirmed that being born in the US or Territory gives automatic citizenship in birth. The clause 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." This was written to exclude children of Diplomats and Foreign fighters in US soil in case of an invasion by an army. This is because they would be subject to the jurisdiction of the country they were from, and not the USA. However if you look a the wording, it can be read that children born in the USA are granted citizenship if they Are children of Legal residents here. So children of Citizens, Green Card Holders, and resident aliens here on work visa or approved status. It can be read that a foreign national illegal immigrant is under the jurisdiction of the leadership of their home country. So a Mexican national who crosses the border and gives birth in the USA should not have the child granted citizenship as they are under the Jurisdiction of the Mexican govt and Laws and not the USA. Especially if they cross back and forth and have residence in Mexico. |
I can't believe birthright citizenship hasn't been stopped - long ago, even. That alone would have stopped millions from attempting the trip. |
It is allowed in the constitution. But is not applicable to foreign diplomats or invading armys. It’s also written to possibly exclude people not here legally as they are under the jurisdiction of their home country. That is how it’s written and need a Supreme Court interpretation of that clause to diss allow it for illegals. No new law or amendment needed. |
Dem here and would support this 100% |
Is a single Democrat currently fighting for this? |
Where the hell are they? I bet Mayor Adams and his NY contingency would support this… |
If he wasn’t a cult follower, he would support this. |
