[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have strong feelings about birthright citizenship, but I do have strong feelings about creating more chaos and creating a permanent, ongoing part of society that has no legal status in the US. Those chickens will eventually come home to roost, and not in a good way.

It's time for Congress to grow up and face reality - we aren't going to realistically deport 11 million people and we aren't going to stop people from coming. Time for Congress to actually do the work. We need an extensive guest worker program with a path to citizenship, or even better, other incentives for those workers to maintain their families in their home countries.

And if we want to amend the Constitution to disallow birthright citizenship, then let's go through the process and do it. Not through an executive order that can just be overturned after the next election.[/quote]

Again,

You don’t really understand…………

Yo do not need to amend the constitution.  The work of is already in the 14th.  It excludes birthright citizenship if a person giving birth is under the jurisdiction of another country.

The 14th excluded birthright citizenship for diplomats who are here as they are under the jurisdiction of their home country.

So if you are here [b]illegally[/b], the argument is that you are under the jurisdiction of your home country and also are disallowed citizenship.

All the Supreme Court has to do is define the “under the justification there of” clause to exclude illegals.

The 14th does not grant blanket birthright citizens to everyone.

Also it was written to exclude citizenship from invading armies. If a British soldier had a kid here while invading America, they would also be excluded.[/quote]

What about i am here on tourist visa or student visa and have a baby ?
