[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yall funny. It’s is the darn constitution. Change that. Oh wait, there aren’t enough votes to do it.

With that said, something about immigration has to be done. My target use to be so nice and quiet. And clean cut people. You saw the occasional black or Latino. But now, it’s been overtaken by all these brown people that are likely illegal. And my lovely target feels like chaos every time I go! [/quote]

The only thing needed is a re-interpretation of the amendment. Birthright citizenship only extends to people under the jurisdiction of the US.  You can make an argument that foreign nationals here illegally or those who are here temporarily are not under our jurisdiction and are still the primary responsibility of the countries where they’re from.

No constitutional changes needed.  Just get scotus to review the interpretation. Done. [/quote]

So anyone who you deem not American becomes no longer subject to our jurisdiction.  That means they are no longer subject to our laws.  They can break traffic laws with impunity, steal, murder, without repercussions.

What a brilliant thing for SCOTUS to do! It'll be great![/quote]

I highly doubt being subject to the jurisdiction of the United States has the same meaning as being subject to its laws. So no, they would not be able to do any of the horrible things you suggest with impunity. Frankly, the fact that you’re so gleeful about the prospect of illegal immigrants committing horrific acts against or impacting US citizens and others says a lot about you, and it’s not flattering.

Remember, all of these illegal aliens who have flooded our borders are *citizens of the country from whence they came* and subject to THAT country’s jurisdiction. It’s not rocket science. [/quote]
