14th Amendment. Is this okay?

[RottenWillow]

Interpretation college boy..

1866 "The Supreme Court essentially stated that the status of the parents determines the citizenship of the child. To qualify children for birthright citizenship, based on the 14th Amendment, parents must owe "direct and immediate allegiance" to the U.S. and be "completely subject" to its jurisdiction. In other words, they must be United States citizens."

"The phrase "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" was intended to exclude American-born persons from automatic citizenship whose allegiance to the United States was not complete. With illegal aliens who are unlawfully in the United States, their native country has a claim of allegiance on the child. Thus, the completeness of their allegiance to the United States is impaired, which therefore precludes automatic citizenship."

I happen to be a naturalized American citizen and I totally agree with the spirit of this law.


Samote's immigration attorney girlfriend will be here momentarily to tell us how ignorant we are though.

I thought women were discouraged from flying once they pass the 6th month of pregnancy....

hmmmm...I don't think so..not anymore. I was free to fly until week 37....but I think certain airlines might have their own policy where you have to have a doctor's note or something...

A quote from 1866? So, if I'm interpreting the constitution correctly from that year, blacks are slaves and women can't vote. I mean, what exactly was the purpose of that retort?

Anti-immigration trolls are damned annoying. Are you seriously arguing that a person born in the US isn't a US citizen? There's nothing to debate about that unless you just want to bitch about mexicans taking your shitty job or something.

illegal immigrants are a great source of cheap exploitable labor, usually pay taxes and don't file returns, and don't cost the state that much on a per capita basis

I know little about the pros and cons of this topic, I was just curious about what my fellow guys and gals thought
